It was just the best because when I’m with them, I just go click right into mom mode.““I mean, I’m guilty every day. Ariana Huffington actually told me, she was like, ‘You just have to get over it.’ If you live in the guilt, then it’s just going to keep hindering you.“Adds Graham, “And I’m only three and a half years into motherhood, so I’m just doing my best every day.”
