What are you reading to your kids now?

Good Night, Maisy. First Book of Sushi ($7), which they love and we read almost every night.

Did being a mom have anything to do with you signing on for Charlotte’s Web?

At the time they were just teeny-tiny new babies…so at the time I just remembered loving it as a child.

Have the twins seen you on the screen at all?

I think my son saw me on TV once for a split second and said "Mommy!" But when Hazel sees any mom figure in a bok she says "Mommy!"

She really adores her kids:
I just love them. They’re fun and happy and honest and just fill me with so much joy.  I guess I didn’t realize that you could really just like your children as much as your friends, you know? I just enjoy interacting with them.  I’m interested in their point of view.

On how motherhood has changed her:
I definitely feel that I’ve expanded as a human being.  I have more empathy and more compassion, I think, because I feel so blessed on a level that I can’t even wrap my mind around really."

Motherhood has made her appreciated her own mother, Betty:
I try to call her with more regularity because I think, ‘God, what if Hazel didn’t call me for two weeks?’ I’m able to see her mothering now from a different vantage point.

Motherhood has turned her into an environmentalist:
She drives a hybrid car and recycles plastic bags from the grocery store: Reduce, reuse, recycle.  Just like Jack Johnson sings in Curious George.  It’s motherhood really urging my consciousness along into different places.  What is the world going to be like for all of our children?

She also appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair along with George Clooney, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Al Gore, to promote environmental awareness.

She’s become involved with School Bus America, an organization trying to get school buses to use a more earth friendly fuel:
Our kids are inside those buses where it’s so much more toxic and deadly.  And it’s so easy. All these buses can be changed over to biodiesel and vegetable oil.

Danny is a great husband and wonderful father:
I just love him to bits.  He’s just a great human being. And to see him now as a father—that is the greatest thrill of my life, is watching him be a father to my children. He is our rock, our heart center of our family.

Son Phinnaeus is a huge fan of Danny’s as well:
He is as in love with Danny as I am. So Danny walks in the house and we’re pushing each other out of the way to get to him first.  I love to have someone on the planet who understands how I feel when Danny walks in the door.
