Kristen Cavallari recently spoke about being both a wife and mother and a working gal, and says she’s willing to put her personal projects on hold in order to spend time with her family.

“It’s easy to get wrapped up in your career and have that be your only focus, and I want my marriage to work and last – and family comes first,” she said.

Between design projects, a jewelry line, and a shoe line, Cavallari–who got her start on the MTV “reality” show “The Hills” as Lauren Conrad’s mortal enemy–is a busy lady. The 26-year old and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler became parents to baby Camden eight months ago, and are planning a wedding very soon. Cavallari says the two of them make a good team.

“Having Jay is really helpful,” she said. “It’s important to talk about parenting philosophies before having a child. You want to go in knowing how to raise them to avoid the arguments that can ensue. Being good parents is our top priority.”
