Growing up eating fruits and vegetables fresh from our farm added a lot to the way I taste and look at food today, and I wanted the same for my kids and other kids.

One of my favorite memories from growing up in Brazil is being in the kitchen with my family and watching everyone bake and cook.

My waist used to be tiny. I just saw a picture of Miley Cyrus with a little crop top and low pants, and I'm like, 'That was me growing up in Brazil!' I had the typical model body, but after babies, it changed. I look more like a woman.

When I was growing up, kids wouldn't come out to my place because I was too far out in the country.

Live by the farm and you will have plenty of of fruits and vegetables to eat

Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.
