How many advices do you remember especially from your parents? And how do you applied those on your life? There’s a time, we kind of feel our parent are too much interfere to our problem, which we know what we should be done. But there are some good point in those advices, maybe we should think clearly and ask more to our lovely parent.

Martina McBride, country singer and songwriter as well, has remember her mother’s, Jeanny, advice to maintain her reputation since she is a celebrity which is we know, her life always under the lights, that’s always watching her way in life.

“My mom always said, ‘You need to watch out for your reputation. It is important,'” the singer said in American Profile. “That stuck with me. You have to balance it with the fact that you can’t worry about what everybody thinks, but at the same time, you have a responsibility to yourself, your family, and your reputation. Growing up in a small community like that where everybody knows you, you have a real sense of accountability. Anything you do or say … everybody knows it! You have a sense that anything you do will reflect on your family, so you have to watch your p’s and q’s. I was raised with a really good sense of morals and values.”

The Principe of morals and value she holds, has sweet result in McBride family life  which has been married to sound engineer John McBride for 21 years. Far from gossips, scandals, and exploitation on tabloids are just her implementation of her mother’s advice when she was attending high school in Sharon, Kansas.

Mother of three daughters, Delaney Katharine, 14, Emma Justine, 11, and Ava Rose Kathleen, 4, who teamed up with Loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline, on new program called My Time to Shine. A reference to McBride’s current album Shine.

I look at my kids, and they are really well adjusted and happy people. Just because I sing, I am not a big star in my house; I’m Mom,” Martina notes. “That is important to me. You are shaping little people. It’s way more important than record sales or any awards or TV shows. I really want them to have the same kind of upbringing I had. It’s not going to be the same in a lot of circumstances, but the way I raise my kids, the things I teach them, the values I teach them, and that sense of self I’m going to pass onto them, is the same.”

She counted in the 2009 CMA Female Vocalist nominees, an honor she has won four times.

This is what I like about her beside her big-voiced ballads, she is a loyal and devoted mom, but also has a great singing career. What a great balance…
