Her Mother's Day plans: "Saturday is my baby's first birthday so that's a good Mother's Day treat.

After, we'll meet up with my sister--a mother of 4--and our mom for something delicious. I hope to wash it down with something refreshing and bubbly."

Most interesting story she ever reported: "Undocumented Students. There is an entire population of immigrant college students who are in this country illegally....but they have no choice.
