“ I don’t have to be only one thing”

Singer, actress, style icon, wife, and now mom, Jennifer Lopez has seen all her dreams come true. but that doesn’t mean she plans to slow down. nope, she’s already on to the next bend in the road, ambition in overdrive, still in hot pursuit of all that her passions can bring her.

“You dive in and make Your life work”

Photographed by Gilles Bensimon

Sheryl Crow’s got a new album, she’s touring the country, and, oh yeah, she’s now the mom of two supercool little guys. writer laurie Sandell was one of the very first to meet baby levi. now it’s your turn!

Driving up the road to Sheryl Crow’s home, a sprawling, 154-acre ranch on the outskirts of Nashville, it’s easy to see why the singer would trade her Los Angeles life for this. The landscape

is dotted with barns, cows graze peacefully in the fields, and the only sound is the rustle of leaves. Sheryl, 48, bought the house in 2008 and spent the next few years knocking down walls, rummaging through thrift stores, and putting her unique stamp in every corner, as I get to see firsthand once I’ve arrived. The wall of one bathroom is covered with antique photos in tiny gilded frames, a giant colorful fish tank with a counter on top doubles as a kitchen island, and a collection of vintage birdcages dress up a porch. Later, on a tour of the stables, I see the saloon Sheryl has built, complete with cold beer on tap, swinging Western doors, and a polished wooden bar she found on eBay. She likes to put her boots up here, after riding her horses with girlfriends.

Experts, readers, and redBooK staff ers share their best stay-organized secrets. your sock drawer will never be the same again. (and that’s a good thing.)

2Do one small organizational task daily, no matter how small.Clean out one drawer or the top tier of the spice rack. Just think:

After a month, you’ll have checked 30 things off your to-do list.

3Open the mail over the shredder or recycling bin, and get rid of the junk immediately. This forces you to make quick and de-

fi nitive decisions so nothing piles up in your hallway or anywhere else.

4Keep each kid’s tests, drawings, and papers in a large art box, and go through the boxes with your children at the end of each

school year. Holly Bohn, founder of seejanework.com, allows each child to pick one thing to save. She chooses one special item as well, then every-thing else gets pitched. “This way you don’t have to make immediate decisions when they bring something home,” she says.

Wild guess: You’d be thrilled if you never heard the phrase “In this economy…” again. We feel you. But believe it or not, plenty of good came out of “the great recession.” We changed not only the way we spend but also how we think and what we value. We’re healthier (eating less junk, exer-cising more) and happier (spending more quality time with our families). Go us! In a sense, we’ve all been forced to get a bit MacGyver with our lives—finding crafty ways to deal with bad situations. That approach is here to stay, experts say, but we want to live a little too. That’s what this pack-age is all about: Just because you’re scaling back doesn’t mean you have to settle. Not now. Not ever.

Stage by stage: What’s safe, what’s healthy,

and what to avoid

Getting your baby to learn how to eat his first foods can seem like adaunting milestone, but it’s not as-trophysics. When the time is right,he’ll figure it out, with a little helpfrom you. And even if you goof onceor twice—say, give him fruit beforerice cereal—nothing bad is likely tohappen. Still, by sticking to the righttiming and sequence of your baby’sfirst “real” foods, you can improvehis nutrition and health.

Before you start, remember thatoffering solids is a gradual process.Until now, your baby has only known breast milk or formula (andhe’ll continue to need them untilhe’s 1). If he pushes food out of his

mouth or presses his lips togetherwhen you eagerly try to spoon-feedhim, don’t force it. He may not beready to eat solids yet. And evenwhen he is, it can take as many as 20 times before he warms up to aparticular food.

The first few times you offer himsomething he’s never eaten before,one or two teaspoons is enough. Justgetting the taste of it on his little lipsis an accomplishment. The mostimportant thing is to make his firstexperiences with new foods aspositive as possible. µ

Sweet dreamsDesigner Tracy Hutson transforms the boys’ bedroom in one family’s home into a cozy, girly nursery that the mom-to-be goes gaga for. By Wendy Manwarren

Turn the page for Tracy’s design ideas

and tips.

GETTING STUMPED The tree silhouette— fashioned using pat- terned wallpapers from the ’60s and ’70s, which come precut as leaves and a trunk— planted the seeds of inspiration for the vintage garden Tracy imagined for baby Zoe’s room, but the designer cautions against deco- rating any space around a single theme. “It can be incredibly limiting,” Tracy says. “You want to be able to bring in all the pieces you love and collect over time, not just those that fit with one kitschy motif.”

THE BOYS’ CLUB Teresa Humr’s sons, Noah (in her arms) and Caleb, used to share this nondescript room.

µ

Oh, no.In the bathroom∆ Draw a bath, throw in a couple of clean sponges, and ask your toddler tohelp you “clean” the bathtub while she’s in it. While she’s busy, you canscrub the sink or just sit there and enjoy some downtime.

∆ Nothing occupies a toddler more than his own little squirt bottle filledwith water and a small sponge, I’ve found. Show him that the idea is notto soak but to spritz—and then clean the smudges off the walls.

∆ Mindy Swanson of San Diego sprays shaving cream all over the bathtubwalls and adds a drop of food coloring. “Let your kids mix it together andyou’re rocking,” she says. “Finger-paint-o-rama!” A quick spray is all it takesto clean up afterward. An added bonus: Your bathroom smells like Daddy.

How to prevent

obesity–for babies

on upby Jessica Snyder Sachs

t 7 months, Zachary Miller was a happy andhealthy, but not especially active, baby. “The pe-

diatrician told me, ‘The big ones don’t like to move,’” saysZach’s mom, Ellie, of Somerset, New Jersey. “She told meto put him on the floor and on his tummy as often as pos-sible. He hates that. But it does get him to push up on hisarms and roll over.”

At 20 pounds and 27 inches long, Zach was alreadyoverweight. His height was in the 50th percentile for boyshis age, but his weight was in the 75th (pediatricians likeboth numbers to be close together). But does it really makesense to be so concerned about a baby this young?

Yes, say an increasing number of health experts. Themore weight a baby gains before age 2, the heavier she’slikely to be as an older child and adult, studies show. If oneor both parents are overweight, the concern is even greater.

And the eating and activity patterns learned inchildhood—for good or ill—tend to persist for a lifetime.Some overweight kids as young as 3 or 4 can already haveelevated levels of cholesterol, insulin, or blood pressure.

But many people miss the signs that a child (especially a boy) is too chubby. In one study, only 21 percent of themoms of overweight preschoolers knew it. As more andmore kids get heavier—the average child’s waist has goneup two sizes in the past 20 years—kids who are overweightincreasingly look “normal” to us.

Pediatricians can miss the signs, too, even though theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends thatthey check a child’s body mass index (BMI)—a measureof fatness—annually starting at age 2.

So it’s up to you to be alert to the signs that your child’soverweight or gaining too quickly. “Our current lifestyle isputting kids at risk for serious health problems,” sayspediatrician Sheila Gahagan, M.D., of the University ofMichigan’s Department of Pediatrics and Center forHuman Growth and Development in Ann Arbor, “but wecan turn it around.” The hard part: Improving theirlifestyle usually means changing yours, too.

That means neither obsessive eating nor quick weight-loss plans, which are especially dangerous for children,whose growing bodies require nutrients from a broad

his life to it) to his daughters,

dawn and amy, down to grand-

daughter lily. that knowledge

could save future generations.

First, let’s be clear: This is not an article about happiness. We’re not going to tell you to smile or lighten up. It’s not our intent to have you twirling through your backyard, picking buttercups, and singing about the “bright, sunshiny day.” No, this is an article about optimism. And though the two words are often used interchangeably, there is a vital distinction between them: “Happiness is an emotion, a feeling. Optimism is a belief about the future,” says Suzanne Segerstrom, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Kentucky and the author of Breaking Murphy’s Law: How Optimists Get What They Want From Life—and Pessimists Can Too.

Happiness is subjective, nebulous. Optimism, on the other hand, can be objectively defined as the tendency to expect that life will be mostly good. Ideally, the two go hand in hand—but not necessarily. We can feel blue or blah yet recognize it as a passing cloud. We can be dissatisfied in our work or rela-tionships but believe that better times lie ahead. We can acknowledge when a situation stinks—the canceled flight, the flat tire during rush hour—without concluding that the universe is permanently aligned against us.

Not surprisingly, people who look at life this way are less likely to be depressed or anxious, studies show. (In fact, those with a more negative worldview are at greater risk for dementia and Parkinson’s disease in later life, according to the Mayo Clinic.) But optimists also live longer than their pessimistic peers. They may recover more quickly from surgeries and perhaps respond better to cancer treatments. Optimists also have healthier pregnancies, exercising more and stressing less during their latter trimesters. Indeed, these positive think-ers just feel better overall, experiencing fewer aches and pains and even better love lives: Optimists are more satisfied with their romantic relationships and have more satisfied partners, according to a Michigan State University study. Optimism appears to be an “enduring resource” for couples, say researchers, promoting cooperation, closeness, commitment, and fidelity.

What makes optimism so optimal? For starters, optimists tend to have better coping skills and so may get battered less by life’s stressors, suggests

“Why would you go to Nicaragua for a beauty story?”My friends and family members each asked me this question after i

told them that the body shop was taking me to the Central american country. you see, it wasn’t the typical beauty press trip: there were no manicures, no new products, no spa treatments to try. i told everyone the reason i thought i was going: “the body shop gets its sesame oil from Nicaragua, so they give back to the community.”

turns out, that wasn’t the reason.

The reason I had a plane ticket to Nicaragua had nothing to do with charity; this trip was about a business practice called fair trade. I

knew that fair trade meant purchasing quality in-gredients or goods at fair prices and preventing exploitation of workers, but what I didn’t know about was the incredible range of positive benefits that it has for a community. The goal behind fair trade is sustainability: improving the quality of life in in-digenous communities while preserving the planet’s resources. This form of global trade benefits every-

one: Companies such as The Body Shop can ethi-cally source quality ingredients, the community finds a way out of poverty, and we, as consumers, know where our product came from and that our purchase is helping to create a better world.

For The Body Shop and a growing number of other cosmetic companies, “green” beauty goes beyond recycled packaging and natural ingredients. It’s about social responsibility: using their products, money, and influence to institute global change—one product and one community at a time.

“Make a playlist with these albums. I love the mix of tempos.”

✱ Think beyond cheddar. “You don’t have to go crazy with exotic fromage. But why not have some fun? Instead of predictable Swiss and cheddar, try a soft cheese, such as brie or blue cheese. Instead of cheddar, put out a buttery Spanish manchego. Add a mild goat cheese that’s great for spreading—may-be one with black pepper or herbs mixed in. And I al-ways like to include one hard cheese like parmigiano reg-giano, a good match with any wine.”

✱ Drop the grapes. “They’re bor-ing! But folks do like some-thing fruity to go with their cheese. Why not surprise them with a com-pote of berry jam and some interesting dried fruit like white peaches, mango, and papaya.”

✱ Skip the crackers. “You’ve got to have something to crunch on, but everybody serves crackers, so be more creative. Jazz up your plate with almonds, rye toast, or flatbread, and even peanut or pine nut brittle.”

“My car is a disaster

zone full of trash and toys! How can I clean

it up?”tracey smith

bloomfield, NJ

Keep your ride tidy. ✱ Set a clean-up schedule. Once a week, make it a point to clear out the backseat. If you have older kids, you can put this on their weekly chore list.✱ Toss trash while you pump gas. Instead of checking email while you wait for the tank to fill, spend three minutes throwing away garbage. There are always big bins conveniently located next to the gas pumps.✱ Put a “car-bage” bin in your garage. Avoid juggling junk from the car to the house by establish-

ing a designated dumping spot wherever you usually park.✱ Keep a toy tote in your trunk. At the end of the day, gather up all of the kids’ playthings and toss them in a bin or in a reus-able shopping bag.✱ Give yourself a weekly drive-thru quota. Nothing clutters a car faster than fast-food wrap-pers. Limit your snack at-tacks to once-a-week. Your backseat (and backside) will thank you!

When Tara Kolla opened her own nursery last year—Sunshine Plants in San Diego—she

was thrilled that she wouldn’t have to check with the boss every time she wanted to take plants home with her. “Inside my house I have vibrant arrangements on every surface,” she says. For a riot of color in your pots, yard, and planters, try Tara’s favorite picks:

five wow flowers

Tara calls red and yellow her “happy hues.”

yardeningquick tip “To grow bright blooms, use pot-ting soil rich in algae.”

Zinnias This zingy annual called Green Envy, measures 2 inches across, and is a cinch to grow in beds, borders, and contain-ers. And the more sun they get, the better because they’ll triple their blooms. They also live a surprisingly long time in a vase. Pop plants in from a nursery to get flowers fast. Make sure to water around their base because they are prone to mildew.

PoppiesYou won’t find these Shirley poppies at the florist because they don’t like being dis-turbed—but they love popping up in the garden right from a seed. Early in spring, toss them in the back-yard in a sunny spot with rich soil and cover with a ¼-inch of dirt. In about two weeks, papery flowers will sprout.

RosesTara broke her no perennial rule for these Knockout roses because they’re incredibly disease re-sistant (no pesticides necessary), flower six to eight times a summer, and are self-cleaning so you don’t have to dead head the old blooms before new ones will grow. Foliage turns a deep burgundy in the fall.

LarkspurThis annual del-phinium, which looks really elegant in a vase, is grown just like the poppy. Since these stately spikes range in height from one to seven feet tall, thin them when the seed-lings develop a second set of leaves, so that the ones underneath have enough room to grow. Blooms range from white to blue to vivid violet.

SunflowersThese native Ameri-cans are great for a kid’s garden because they grow very tall and attract lots of birds who eat their seeds. Tara loves the sophisticated cream and black center of the Italian White but look around, because seedlings come in almost every shade of yellow, red, and orange.

6. He Loves Luxe CarsBieber, who got a Range Rover for his 16th B-day, has taken Diddy’s Lamborghini and Sean Kingston’s Ferrari for joy rides. Recently, Kingston says, “he said he wanted to get an Aston Martin!”

2. He’s Booked for a Wedding

They’re not engaged yet, but his manager Scooter Braun’s girlfriend, Carin Morris, already chose Bieber’s hit “Common Denominator” as their song. “It’s beautiful,” Morris says. “I told

Justin, ‘You’re playing that at my wedding!’ He has no choice.”

3. He’s Proud of Being CanadianWhat do Tim Horton’s coffee, the band Tragically Hip, Cement necklaces and Sabian cymbals have in common? Justin loves them all because they’re Canadian.

5. He, Uh, Quacks Before Every ShowAfter a group prayer, he and his team get fired up

by huddling, placing their hands in the middle and chanting, “Duck, duck, duck, quack, quack, quack, blue!” says guitarist Dan Kanter.

13. He Gets Dating Advice From His Guy Pals . . .Kanter has taught the singer “the science of how long to wait before calling a girl.” Says Hamilton, “I tell him, ‘You have to open doors for the ladies.’” Kingston’s words of wisdom? “He wants to date, but I tell him to keep single, man!”

. . . and Gal PalsWardrobe assistant Morris says he’s always asking her for guidance. “It’s just really simple things: ‘I like her, but I don’t

know if she likes me.’ ‘How do I respond to this text message?’ ‘How do I find out if she wants to go see

a movie with me?’”

8. He’s a Healthy EaterThe secret to his famed six-pack? “He’s pretty good about his diet,” says voice coach Jan Smith. “He eats healthy. He doesn’t eat a lot of junk food.”

15. He Does Everything on His Segway“We race on the Segways, and we once took off into traffic and went to McDonald’s,” says

tour opener Iyaz. “Most

concert venues are basketball courts, so we even play ball on them!”

14. He’s a RomanticThose sweet lyrics come straight from his heart! “The kid is a die-hard romantic,” says manager Braun

of the “Runaway Love” singer. “He doesn’t just

write about puppy love. He believes in it!”

9. He Has Almost Been Late to His Concerts!“Sometimes, literally two seconds before he’s on, he’s running from his bus and still buttoning his shirt as he’s being lifted up to the stage,” says

Caplin. “I think he likes the rush!”

11. He Only Drinks Water at Room TemperatureIt’s a precaution to keep the singer’s voice strong, says Morris: “He’s not supposed to drink cold water because of his throat.”

12. He Tells Bad Jokes!His pranks are legendary, but his punch lines could use work. Says bodyguard Kenny Hamilton, “He is the worst joke-teller ever!”

10. He Can Sing in French!Ooh la la! He brought the house down during an acoustic show in France when he performed “One Less Lonely Girl” en français. “As soon as he broke into French, the place erupted,” says Kanter.

he’s a secret shopaholic? gets nervous texting girls?! his tourmates tell all . . .

1. He Loves to Shop . . . Maybe Too Much!Bieber often hits the mall during the day (when his fans are in school). “He has an ever-expanding wardrobe on the bus and under the bus in storage,” says tour photog Robert Caplin.

4. He Can’t Keep His Shirt On“He loves to run around with his shirt off all the time,” says Never Say Never director Jon Chu, who made the star cover up during filming.

15 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT HIM

7. He Doesn’t Get to Choose the ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ HimselfUnfortunately, he doesn’t have a say: The lucky lady who gets serenaded at his concerts is chosen by a member of his team minutes beforehand.

trouble: See his reckless flings with everyone from Mercedes to Rachel to, of course, his baby-mama, Quinn. But off screen, the native Texan, 28, is hardly naughty. For one thing, “I don’t date a lot,” he tells Us. “I just work and hang out with friends.” And when he is looking for love, the actor — who says he has only ever had two serious girlfriends — steers clear of the Hollywood scene. “I don’t really crush on celebrities. To date a celebrity would be a freakin’ job!” His real love right now? Music. “I’ve been writing songs since I was 6, and I do write in my trailer on set sometimes,” says Salling, whose second LP, Pipe Dreams, dropped this fall. “I’m really excited about the album. It’s pretty eclectic. Some rock, some jazz and even a bit of folk and country. I hope everyone likes it.” But regardless, he promises Us “it’s not the last you’ll hear of my music.”

And ever since Davy, a Zimbabwe-born paralegal and daughter of a mil-lionaire safari operator, moved back to London from South Africa in February, “they’ve become stronger than before,” says a friend of the couple. “They do a lot of quieter things now, like sneaking out to [U.K. chain restaurants] Nando’s or Pizza Express. They’re low-key.” But don’t expect wedding bells soon. The prince, 26, and Davy, 25, “aren’t ready. Plus, they see William and Kate as so much older than them.” In the meantime, Harry is training to be a helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force and working for Sentebale, an African charity he founded. “Yeah, I’ve grown up,” he’s said.

Diana’sLEGACY

Gone but not forgotten, the devoted humanitarian, mother and style icon left a lasting

mark on the monarchy — and the world

CoMMon ToUCHWhen it came to do-gooding, Diana proudly wore her heart on her sleeve. “I found myself being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society . . . drug addicts, alcoholism, battered this, battered that — and I found an affinity there,” she once said. Before long, her efforts spanned continents as she supported such diverse causes as homelessness, land mines, AIDS and leprosy. “She tackled big issues head-on, by herself,” Earl Charles Spencer tells Us. “It’s what she wanted to do with her star.”

“The biggest disease . . .

is the disease of feeling

unloved, and I know that I can give love.”

Her celebrated taste in fashion made her an icon — and a target. “Diana told me

she was severely criticized for

wearing bright colors at nonstate

functions,” pal Lana Marks

tells Us.

her hats, her blonde mane was always perfectly

coiffed. “She had her hair done every day!” pal

Simone Simmons recalls to Us.

iana was surely on William’s mind as he walked down the aisle. Now, as he and Catherine begin their new life together, expect to see his mother’s influence behind every step. After all, the late Princess of Wales revolutionized the role of royalty. “I don’t go by a rule book,” she once said. “I lead from the heart, not the head.” Bucking formality, she took her kids to Disney World and let them wear jeans. In her charity work, she broke taboos by openly hugging and shaking hands with AIDS patients. “People were able to connect with Diana in a way they hadn’t with any other royal before,” her brother, Earl Charles Spencer, tells Us. “She was a new generation of the British royal family. She inspired people — and still continues to inspire.”
