Fox business anchor and mom Nicole Petallides keeps us updated daily reporting live from the New York Stock Exchange. When she isn't keeping up with breaking financial news on the trading floor, she happily goes home to her two active boys.

Nicole, who just celebrated her 25,000th TV hit recently, opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop (www.celebritybabyscoop.com) about her two sons, now 8 and 10, and her favorite motherhood moments. She also gives a glimpse into her "high intensity" work schedule and how she manages to balance her professional and family life.

Q: You're a Fox business anchor, reporting live from the NYSE daily, give us a glimpse into your daily schedule.

A: I'm on at least 30 times a day, roughly every 15 minutes from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and often have shots before or after those times. My day usually starts around 4 a.m. My first hit is often between 6 and 8:30 a.m., but I always hit at 9 a.m. on Fox Business Network's "Imus in the Morning." All day I'm on every 15 minutes so just enough time between hits to talk with traders and read and prepare the next report. It's high intensity all day, and breaking news. I often finish after I complete the national Fox News Radio business report by around 5 p.m. Then home for dinner with the family, and whatever each night. I crawl into bed by 9 p.m. I do work occasional weekends doing reports on "Fox & Friends" between 6 and 8 a.m. As a family we're busy also on weekends with activities and fun family gatherings. My younger son never sleeps past 6:30 a.m. on any day, ever. We definitely need to work on that! Luckily he's very cute and we both love to watch "Tom & Jerry" at 6 a.m.

Q: We hear you're mom to two boys. What are they into? Do they get along?

A: I am the mother of two fun, rambunctious, energetic, very sweet and smart boys ages 8 and 10 years old. They get a long most of the time. I hear the giggles from their room many weekend mornings where they have bunk beds and games. They play sports and video games and just explore life together. Do they bicker? Of course! On occasion we have to "discuss" why we're having a disagreement. But they know they are each other's best gift in life. My husband and I tell them over and over they must stick by each other forever. They are blessed to have each other. And they do already have a wonderful bond and friendship.

Q: Do they take after their mom and play soccer?

A: They've tried just about every sport, but right now their focus is basketball. They hope to play in the NBA, of course. We'll see if they can achieve that. They've tried soccer, lacrosse and flag football and just didn't love those the way they love basketball. They play a lot and have hoops in their bedroom and now another in the hallway of our home (as if the bedroom one wasn't enough).

Q: So many moms struggle to find that balance between family and career, how do you do it?

A: As a working mom you strive for perfection every day and nothing ever seems perfect. But we are very lucky and the boys feel lucky and they are loved and have a great life. I'm extremely lucky I'm part of a great team for our kids including myself, my husband, my parents and their sitter. All hands on deck all the time, and we make it through.

Q: What have been some of your favorite motherhood moments so far?

A: The kisses and hugs and those genuine "I love you's" that kids don't give too often are my favorites. I'm so proud of all they do and the thoughtful people they have become. The boys make me laugh and are my absolute everything! I love when they tell me what they're thinking at any given moment. They are smart but really funny and witty, too. YES, of course I'm biased, I'm their mom!
