Living the Good Life Her Way

Most moms will agree with Wilson on what she says is the hardest part of motherhood: lack of sleep. "It affects everything else, you know?" says Wilson. "When you don't sleep, it's hard to have your energy and then you have less patience."

Carnie Wilson's Advice for New Moms

"Sleep when the baby is sleeping," says Wilson. "But if you have too many things to get done, it's really hard. That's the time you do the dishes; that's the time you take a shower; that's the time you make your phone calls. It's so hard. And that's why managing your time is so important." And drink lots of water, she adds.

"And of course, enjoy every moment that you have with them," says Wilson.

Wilson says she's not a paranoid mother, but a cautious one. "I'm the type that I think of all the different scenarios, so if something is bothering her, I want to find a way to fix it," she says. "I'm definitely the more nervous type. I'm not the laid back parent. I'm very hands-on, ready to go and do, and so is she."

Motherhood has made Wilson stronger, she says. "It's another chapter; it's another experience, another adventure, another test of my strength and patience, endurance," she says. "But it's opened up my heart like I just can't believe. I don't even think it's love. It's something else beside love. It's something deeper."
