Having a child makes a parent focus more on the future and the world. Since you've become a mother, have you made more ecological choices? Many tots inspire their parents to eat organic, recycle, compost, wear more natural fibers or celebrate ECOWEEN. Have your kids inspired you to go green?
In case you missed it, Halle Berry was named the Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine. She was always foxy in my girl crush world, but she's definitely made her way into hot mama territory as she has entered the world of motherhood this past year giving birth to her gorgeous baby Nahla.
Though I don't think she's the only celebmama deserving of the title. Check out the slideshow to see which women I think are the top 10 sexiest mothers!

When my daughter develops a high fever at 2 a.m., I call my mom. If I need a good laugh about postpartum appearances, I consult my former college roommates turned mothers. When I am curious as to whether my son is reaching all his developmental milestones, I ask his doctor. The list goes on and on, but like many other mamas, I have amazing resources — people, books, and the Internet — to help me figure out the best way to raise my children. And, of course there's always my husband, my motherly instincts, and common sense. Who is the first person you turn to for parenting advice? Source
It is natural for a parent to want the best for their child. For Nepali father Pratap Man Shakya, that means sending his 3-year-old daughter away to the country's capital of Katmandu to be worshiped as the Hindu goddess Taleju. There she will be worshiped until she reaches puberty, at which point she will return to her normal life back home.
After performing various ancient ceremonies and testing the physical traits of numerous girls, a panel of judges chose Matani Shakya to be the next kumari, or living goddess. Picked for her perfect teeth, eyes, hair, and flawless skin, the youngster must also not be afraid of the dark. Once she met that criteria, she had to fearlessly spend one solo ritualistic night in a room full of slaughtered goats and buffalo heads. A pretty astonishing feat for such a tiny tot.
Would you be willing to give your child up for such a cause if it required her spending the remainder of her childhood away from you?
