My husband is very funny and his humor has gotten us through a lot. He's good at defusing me.

Kids don't seem to recognize when they're hungry until they're starving and in the emergency zone, so I'm like, "Who wants some apple slices and cheese?"

I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!

I use an app called ChoreMonster. The kids earn points for brushing teeth or picking up the dog poop. It's genius.

I read some article where Reese Witherspoon said, "If you're not yelling at your kids, you're not spending enough time with them." It made me feel so much better.

We can't have iPads until after 7 p.m. Otherwise the entire day is, "iPad time? What about now?" It makes me crazy. And no TV on weekend mornings.

I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
