Picks and Pans Review: Mary-Louise Parker Mom's the Word

UPDATED 02/18/2008 at 01:00 AM EST Originally published 02/18/2008 at 01:00 AM EST

The Weeds star, 43, taps her maternal instincts in The Spiderwick Chronicles.

SPIDERWICK IS BASED ON A POPULAR KIDS' BOOK. WHAT DOES YOUR SON WILLIAM, 4, LIKE TO READ? All the Henry and Mudge books and Mr. Putter & Tabby. I feel like I spend half my money on children's books. We have hundreds!

YOU ADOPTED DAUGHTER ASH LAST YEAR. IS HAVING TWO KIDS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT? Oh yeah. It's just more of everything: more love, more work, more exhaustion, more excitement.

HOW DO YOU JUGGLE WORK AND MOTHERHOOD? I don't do a lot of stuff for myself so I can spend as much time with them as possible. Maybe when they're 15 I'll get to go out again!
