Happy Mother's Day at my main @ laurenhashianofficial squeeze, holding my little press, Jasmine Lia, who holds my smallest main pressure, Tiana Gia – the two names of our daughter are in the honor of their great grandma -mothers, Lia and Giavanna. I am in constant respect and recognition of all the things that this amazing mom accomplishes daily. Here's a fun little recap: Having a two and a half year old child and a newborn tied up and hanging on to it 24/7. Manage the very fun, Terrible 2 with Jazzy. The "Hi, I need to eat every 3 hours and preferably your breasts" (like dad;) with Baby Tia. Manage Multiple Family Properties Manage an employee who grows across the country. Pick up the whole family, staff and dog and move to several places around the world, all year long because of my shooting schedule and production. While continuing to build an incredible career as a writer and producer of music and songs. As an artist and businessman, I know how incredibly difficult this part of his work is. She is a brilliant visionary and lyrical storyteller – all that is difficult to exploit when you manage this non-stop life of our life. But she likes a shiny bad ass. And he is the one and only, he is the only one and the sweetest soul you can ever meet. People say that they all spend time with them, "Lauren is the kindest person I've ever met". I always say, "Yes she is and it's nice to run in our family … and also do buttocks, so do not ever get on her wrong side" Lol. And finally – of all the human beings on this earth that they could have as their partner – they chose me. A big, brown, soon tattooed, very lucky. Happy Mother's Day Lauren.
