Kristen's tips are tried (oh yes, she's tried them all) and true (she even spills personal stories in her book) to help other mothers go from feeling like nursing machines, snack slingers and car-pool chaffeurs to feeling like a vixen in their own lives.

Here, Kristen shares how she reinvented her own sensual self and offers us tips on how to get back in our own groove.
