Carnie Wilson

Living the Good Life Her Way

By Donna Smith

What's the best part about being a mom for Wilson? "Everything," she says. "It's just unbelievable."

As a family, Wilson says they enjoy going to the park and taking walks together. And mealtime is another family favorite. "We love to eat meals together," she says. "Lola just had her one-year checkup, so now she's able to be off formula, and she's eating solid food too. So I'm trying to make a structure of mealtime every night. And we have breakfast together."

Lola also enjoys spending time with her cousins, Leo and Beau. "Leo is 2 1/2 and Beau is 1 1/2," says Wilson. "And they are just the most loving little boys. We try to spend every weekend together. We have the family and her grandma come to visit during the week, but on the weekends we have either dinner, brunch or breakfast and we all spend time playing. It's just great. The whole family is spending more time together because of the babies."

But overall, Wilson just enjoys being Lola's mom. "I just love being with her," she says. "I love watching her develop. I think about her spirit, her happiness. I love to just watch her, watch her do her thing ... it's all about Lola, forever."
