In the December issue of Women’s Health, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who is celebrating her son’s  first birthday this week,  talks about how motherhood and marriage have changed her.

She revealed, “Pete and Bronx come first. It has humbled me. I believe in letting life happen. There’s good, there’s bad, and then there’s great. If you learn from those things, you grow. I’ve really done a lot for 25, and there’s still a lot to come.”

Even during pregnancy, she said she was “the most calm I’d ever been in my life,” and she didn’t stress about losing her baby weight either (she gained 50 pounds).

Of that, she said, “I wasn’t in a rush to get back to this body for anyone else. It was more like, ‘I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good.’”

Her advice to other moms and women out there? “[W]hat defines sexy is not someone’s weight.” We agree!

In a recent interview with Celebrity Blog, Jennie Garth talked about her three girls - Luca Bella, 12, Lola Ray, 6 1/2, and Fiona Eve, 3.

She admits that, It’s hard to divvy up my time with each of them — one of my biggest challenges is having enough time to go around, and remembering to delegate it, make it a priority in my day. You get caught up in what needs to be done.”

But she often combines what needs to be done with spending time with her family - like involving them in cooking and baking. She also reveals, “I make sure that they’re getting a balanced meal three times a day, and then they don’t want as much other stuff because they’re satiated with healthy foods. I hide healthy veggies in everything I cook.”

With being so busy, how does she and hubby Peter Facinelli keep the spark alive? She admitted, “It’s not easy! Especially when there’s thousands of miles separating us — it’s harder than it’s ever been since he’s been on location for three months. But we Skype, we text, and he makes every effort known to man. He’s an exceptionally good man, and I think that I’m very lucky to have him. I just keep telling myself that.”

We think he’s pretty lucky to have Jennie, too!

Amanda Peet, who is starring in the movie 2012 admitted to PARADE magazine that she’s not concerned about the world coming to an end in real life. “I couldn’t be more skeptical. I think there’s a lot to be concerned about, but that’s the least of my worries,” she said.

“It helped to come to her after a day of filming one disaster after another because she was just wanting me to read The Cat and the Hat or whatever, That definitely kept me from getting too depressed,” she shared.

Her real concerns lie elsewhere: “I’m trying not to think about what the world will be like when she grows up. I think more about when is she going to start drinking and wearing a g-string and how can I stop those things from happening.”

In December’s UK edition of InStyle magazine, Thandie Newton, star of the upcoming 2012, spoke about the lessons she teaches her two daughters, Ripley, 9, and Nico, 4 1/2.

Of riding a bike, she says, “I said, ‘Yes baby, but you’ll get back on again and it’ll be sweeter for having fallen off.’ Don’t be afraid of pain because it’s part of life and it’s a great teacher. Just get back on that bike.”

The 37-year-old actress continued, “One of the best things about being a mum is that you can cradle your kids metaphorically when they’re sad, but not eradicate discomfort because it’s valuable to them.”

Sounds like sound advice!

In her latest gig, Gena Lee Nolin won’t be sporting a red bikini. She’ll be blogging - for Graco! The mom of three jokingly bragged in her blog about one of her greatest feats as a mom: “I hold the record of watching The Wiggles 25 consecutive times…Yes!”

But really, Gena offers up sound advice to new moms like: “Like they say, don’t sweat the small stuff. I think we all tend to worry about things that don’t truly matter in the grand scheme of things.”

She feels her greatest accomplishment in her life is “teaching them and watching them grow.” Gena is mom to Spencer, 12, Hudson Lee, 3 1/2, and Stella Monroe.
