Ali Landry Striving For 'Balance' With Birthday Party

Most Wanted Pictures

Extravagant birthday parties are nothing new in Hollywood, but the current recession has even celebrities tightening their belts. Ali Landry is in the midst of planning her 22-month-old daughter Estela Ines‘ second birthday party and she admits in a new segment for Spotlight to Nightlight that she’s conflicted about how to proceed. “At first, I thought, let’s do something simple…a cake, a few friends, maybe a ride on a pony,” the 35-year-old model and actress explains. “After all, my second birthday party consisted of my aunts, uncles, and cousins sitting on the porch with a cake, a few presents, and Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” While Ali “doesn’t really remember it,” she notes that everyone appeared to have had a good time “without all the bells and whistles that are such a big part of today’s celebrations.”

On the other hand, as a celebrity, Ali notes that she has access to “resources and companies” that most non-celebrity moms don’t. “When you add that to the mix, it’s really hard to stick to my original idea of keeping it simple,” she admits. “I am now trying to find that happy balance.”

“Everyone is paring down their spending these days, but it’s hard to cut back when it’s for our kids. There are so many great ideas out there and if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can still pull off an amazing shindig without breaking the bank. You just need time, creativity, and resources.”

Eric Mabius Dreads Missing a Moment

The big announcement that Ugly Betty would be packing up and heading cross country to New York City couldn’t have come at a better time for Eric Mabius and his wife Ivy Sherman. Despite the continued grueling schedule of 70-hour work weeks, it was the fear of the unknown that had the couple thankful to be heading closer to their Massachusetts roots: they were expecting their second child! “We didn’t know when the baby was going to come,” the actor reveals in the June issue of Boston Common magazine.

“It’s not like I get maternity leave — we can’t stop shooting the show.”

Once baby boy Rylan Jaxson finally made his arrival on December 7th, the doting dad had nothing but utmost respect for his “amazing” wife. “[Maxfield Elliot, 3,] was just under 8 lbs., and this boy was 10 lbs., 3 oz.,” he notes. “Yeah, my wife’s a champ.” Fortunately, after a bit of a frazzled start, Eric reports that they are all settling in as a family of four. “[Rylan's] a big, fat baby and he sleeps really well,” he explains.

That said, keeping up with the workload of having two kids and carrying a “much greater” responsibility has the father-of-two worn out! “Sometimes, as every parent will tell you, you’re just trying to put one foot in front of the other,” he says.

“Don’t let anyone fool you: Having two is more than twice as many as having one.”

Quick to praise the show’s producers, the actor is grateful for the opportunities to spend as much time with his family as possible. However, as many proud papas would say, any time away from the new baby is rough! “My producers were very forgiving and gave me as much private time as I could get, but having six days off is not enough when you have a new life to be responsible for and you want to see every little thing that’s going on,” he notes.

Clearly elated with calling the East Coast home once again, Eric admits that he and Ivy often contemplate a more permanent move back to Amherst, Mass., where the two first met in high school. As the 38-year-old is left to “take a train up [from the city] because the car isn’t big enough to hold all of us,” he shares that the family is keeping their options open. “We just saw a house on the lake where we used to swim in high school,” he says. “It was really cool.”
