Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is helping conquer hunger this holiday season as the official spokesperson for Grateful Platefuls who will donate $100,000 to Feeding America, which will provide 700,000 meals to Americans in need.
Celebrity Baby Scoop participated in an exclusive webcast with Marcia to discuss the urgent need for hunger relief right here in our own communities. The busy mother of 2 ½-year old twin girls, Eden and Savannah, also opened up about her “little jokesters,” what she really thinks about celebrity baby websites and the paparazzi, and how she manages her “very full life.”
CBS: What are Eden and Savannah into these days?
MC: “They’ve just started preschool so new songs and new kids. Savannah’s still only wearing navy blue so that’s a challenge,” laughs Marcia. “Eden likes to be naked so that’s another challenge but they’re fabulous and they’re really funny and they seem to have really good hearts and a great sense of humor.”
CBS: What kinds of things do the girls do to make you laugh?
MC: “My girls are really funny! They’re actually little jokesters. They do twists on words already. I call them ‘my little minxies.’ They dance, they do imitations of other kids dancing, they make up songs, they make up lyrics. It’s all so silly but every mother just adores their own child and I’m the same way. They make me laugh all the time.”
CBS: Do you ever have any frazzled mom moments?
MC: “Omigosh do I ever have frazzled mom moments? What you really should ask me is how many frazzled mom moments do I have in a day, which is like every mom I’m sure. And I have a lot of those frazzled, what do I do now moments where you are being challenged by your 2 ½-year old and you’re thinking ‘I don’t know what to do now…..is this a discipline moment or do I talk to them moment?’ Sometimes I say, ‘let me get your father.’ That’s what I do when I’m really confused and frazzled, but it sounds like I’m really in control like ‘Oh, I’m going to speak to your father about this’ [said in deep, serious voice]. But yah, I’m frazzled a lot, and overwhelmed, and overjoyed and all those things that go together with being a mother. And I think that’s never going to end!”
