Regina Frederiksen

I have been photographing Regina's daughter Savannah since she was a baby, and now she has a new brother. Here she reveals the great things about being a mom, how funny her daughter is, and how fab her husband is!!

NAME: Regina Frederiksen

FAMILY: husband Christian, Savannah and new baby Chaz

THE LAST TIME MY CHILDREN MADE ME LAUGH WAS... As her grandmother was leaving she said "I am blowing you a kiss, catch it!" To which Savannah replied " I can't. My hands are too dirty"

I REALIZED I HAVE TURNED INTO MY MOTHER WHEN...We say the exact same thing at the exact same time.

THE GADGET THAT SAVES ME THE MOST TIME... Decorative hand soaps. Savannah no longer fights me every time I ask her to wash her hands.

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP FOR KIDS CLOTHING IS... Bebe Grande for little girl stuff

WHAT SURPRISES ME THE MOST ABOUT PARENTING IS... How it can be so rewarding and so exhausting at the same time!

MY FAVORITE RAINY DAY ACTIVITY TO DO WITH MY CHILDREN IS... Cooking! We either make rice krispy treats or cookies from scratch.

WHAT I WANT MY CHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT LIFE... To love learning about new things, and have an open mind and an open heart.

IF I HAD AN ENTIRE DAY ALONE WITH NO RESPONSIBILITIES, I WOULD... SLEEP!!

THE HARDEST THING ABOUT BEING A MOM...Being pulled in different directions.

THE MOST FUN THING ABOUT BEING A MOM.. Seeing my children smile.

THE LAST BOOK I READ FOR MYSELF... Charlie Wilson's War

WHEN I WAS A KID, I SAID "WHEN I AM A PARENT I WILL NEVER...." say "because I'm the mom, that's why!"

THREE THINGS MY KIDS HAVE TAUGHT ME... Selflessness, organization, and the true value of things in life.

THE BEST THING MY SPOUSE DOES FOR ME TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER... He gets me coffee every morning.
