Jewelry designer Kathy Rose is fast becoming an expert at walking the line between Hollywood and mommyhood.
Between being a stylist to the stars (Madonna was her first famous client!), constantly keeping up with the latest trends and winning big reality competitions like last winter’s Launch My Line on Bravo, she always does her best to carve out time for those who matter most — her family.
“Being away from them while filming the show was brutal,” Kathy, 38, tells PEOPLE’s Celebrity Baby Blog.
“That was the hardest part. Fortunately, my kids are really close to my husband, Rick, so they had a lot of ‘daddy time’ and they loved it!”
Mom to daughter Saffron, 3, and son Quinn, 19 months, Kathy draws a lot of her inspiration from her little ones.
“A lot of my last fine jewelry collection was inspired by my daughter,” she says.
“I started using a lot of citrines and yellow diamonds with fire opals — they have that saturated saffron yellow color, which I love.”

“Mama was his first word, Dada, then ‘tar’ — which is guitar, and Bubba, which is the dog. And now he blows kisses at the ladies in the supermarket. He’s a big flirt. Big blue eyes, big white blond head of hair. He’s very handsome.”

While new moms everywhere would gladly take Kendra Wilkinson‘s postpartum body, the 24-year-old reality star says that there is still room for improvement.
“I can’t say I’m back yet,” she tells the Jacksonville Observer. “I’m dieting. I’m going to get better.”
Noting that she’s under “a lot of pressure” to return to pre-baby form, Kendra reveals that she does “hardcore training” once per week and continues to nurse son Hank Randall IV, 3 months.
“I have to have some fat in me,” she explains. “Breastfeeding, you burn off so many calories.”
Lamenting the lack of understanding by some in the entertainment industry of how difficult it is to shed the pregnancy pounds, Kendra adds that a woman’s body may never be the same no matter how hard she works.
“I had this doctor come over yesterday, to my new house … [he] rubbed my belly and said, ‘There’s always going to be that small little pooch because your uterus is shrinking.’”
No matter what her weight, Kendra knows that her baby boy loves her unconditionally — and she him. “The bond between us, the love … He knows I’m his mom now,” she reveals. “Every time I walk away he cries, which is painful and a negative thing, but also, every time I’m there, he laughs and smiles.”
“Besides Hank [Baskett], I’m the only one my baby can recognize and have that immediate comfort with. Wherever we go, if I’m there, he’s happy.”
