Carnie Wilson
Living the Good Life Her Way By Donna Smith
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."

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."
