children kids love
I love dancing; my kids love to dance. I think it's just another way for children to learn they can be themselves.
eat event family kids sports wake
We all wake up at our leisure; the kids know not to wake me up. Then we make breakfast or go out to eat with family. There is usually a sporting event or two to watch!
goes tan waste work
I don't get all that tan outdoors because I am so fair, and my color goes away so fast. It really is a waste for me to try and get suntan because it's more work than it's worth.
definitely kids
My kids definitely give me all of my ideas. I'm always listening to what they talk about, how they play, what they play. Their imaginations are so incredible.
inspired
My first children's book, 'Tickle Monster,' was inspired by tickling my son one evening.
I grew up in Seattle, where there isn't a lot of sun.
business leave ready work
When I had Mason, I was really ready to leave the business of acting, but still wanted to do work that I could control.
absolutely drives kids sound
It drives me absolutely crazy when my kids fight - the sound of them fighting and not getting along.
best both came gets interests second
I think that every decision I made came from what's best for the kids. If both parents have the children's best interests in mind, it's going to go OK. The second that the parents don't do that, it gets ugly.
age aware importance taking understand wiser
I think with age you get wiser and understand the importance of taking care of your skin. I think you're also more aware of your mortality.
greatest imagine joy life raising
I can't imagine my life without my kids. Raising them has been the greatest joy in my life.
acting business kids priorities
Kids really take you out of yourself, and your priorities become really clear. With acting and the business, you don't really have priorities. You have no idea what each day or week's going to be like.
birth books created creative needed outlet time
When I was pregnant, I wanted to take some time off from acting, but I still needed a creative outlet for myself. My first two books were created during my pregnancies and after giving birth to my first child.
bonds child nature parent
'Tickle Monster' is an interactive book and, by the nature of the story, bonds the parent and child through tickling and laughter.
