Nicole Richie On Motherhood: “I Can’t Sit Here And Say That It’s Easy All Day Long!”

Fashion Star judge Nicole Richie covers the March 2012 issue of California style magazine.  In the interviews for the magazine, Richie tells how she is able to balance motherhood with her demanding career and why she loves being a California girl.

Richie doesn’t try to pretend balancing motherhood with a career is easy, but says she has a good support system to help make it easier.

“I can’t sit here and say that it’s easy all day long. I’m just figuring out how to make it work. But I really don’t have anything to complain about. I have a very supportive family and husband [Joel Madden] and that makes it so much easier. My parents live here. They’re each 10 minutes away from me, and they’re very eager to come over even when I don’t want them to.”

Richie also claims she loves being a California girl.

“I’m a California cheerleader. I love the people and the weather. I love my personal space, and the older you get and once you start having children, you really appreciate that. It’s my home. I have history here. I have a lot of inspiration.”
