There's a toddler in her bed, the familiar sensation of bobby pins in her head and, quite likely, glitter all over the room. But Katy Perry 's Friday nights don't hit quite the same as they used to. Before she wrapped her nearly two-year Las Vegas residency last November , the pop star grew quite used to some very long days.

"I'll come home tonight and I'll still have, like, hair and makeup done, and I'll probably be in some form of robe and lipstick everywhere.
I'll be just cutting some olives, cutting some grapes." Pink flamingos in the pool, this is not. And yet its these more mundane parts of motherhood that have Perry feeling as if she's livin' a 39-year-old's dream.
"I'm writing a lot and have written a lot from a place of love, because I'm feeling so much of it—so much unconditional love, that love you never knew existed," she told GMA, explaining why she hadn't put out new material since she dropped both her sixth studio album Smile and the news of Daisy's arrival in the same week. "What's really important to me is to be celebrating the world that I've got to build with all of these wonderful songs and to be responsible for a life for a 3-year-old." In other words, the American Idol alum—who's also juggling her Katy Perry Collections shoe line and De Soi, her brand of non-alcohol.
