Katherine, her hubby & daughter Naleigh (pronounced Nay-Lee)

Last Wednesday, I was downright giddy about being on the phone with Katherine Heigl for a phone interview alongside some other lovely Mommy bloggers! You know the one right? From “27 Dresses,” & “Knocked Up”?!?!

(I’m from MI, y’all. Celebrity interaction = zero to none. Excitement over any brush with celebrity = hysteria).

Anyways! I’m excited to share with you about the call, which is part of a giveaway I’m hosting for TWO lucky readers! I’m giving away 2 Life As We Know It BlueRay DVD’s AND 2 Life As We Know It Soundtracks!

Katherine was very sweet, very likable, very down-to-earth. Actually, -and I know I seem sort of lame and stalkerish for saying this but- I think we could be friends.

She is so much like me in one way:

We both can talk too much!

(At all the wrong times).

She laughed as she told us how she can be “too much of me,” and that she “doesn’t always sensor well”. She said, “it’s hard not to tell everyone everything about her.”

Same here!

(See, SO MUCH in common)

(Only I don’t have everyone dissecting my comments under a microscope & splashed about all over every gossip tabloid)

(And my mistakes are seen in front of 100 -1,000-ish, as opposed to ALL of America).

That was the 1st question, so right off the bat I was diggin’ her vulnerability.

The majority of the Mommy-Bloggers questions about new-Mommyhood were in line with her upcoming DVD Life as We Know It, out Feb. 8.

It was flipping fantastic to hear Katherine articulate some of the exact same struggles I have…

~ Being at a place with your career where you want to keep momentum going. But then…

~ Knowing you need to compromise with your husband because you value his career his well. But then…

~ While your at work you long to be home with your family. But then…

~ While with your family you worry about what’s going on on set.

I’m not even kidding, she said these things. It’s normal everyday stuff all of us Mama’s go through.

(Except for that whole “on set” thing). =)

I agree with one of my friends, Lisa who says that the hardest job of all is not being a full-time stay at home, nor a full-time working Mom, but a part-time stay-at-home Mom & a part-time working Mom because it’s so hard to switch focus so abruptly. I agree, I agree, I agree.

I think Katherine would to!

Katherine said that earlier in life she had this “fantasy,” that she’d be able to “juggle it all,” but has realized that trying to do it “all,” has made her a “spinning top.” How DOES she do it then?

She leans on people. She’s learned to rely on her community and ask for help when she needs it. Here, here Katherine.

I soooooooooo appreciated a lot of her thoughts about various things:

~Best parenting advice you got? Aside from basic needs, sometimes you just gotta let ’em cry. (Totally agree)!

~ Best parenting advice you give? Keep humor in parenting.

~ Favorite moments with Naleigh? Puts on my glasses upside down and dances. She looks like a little indie emo rocker, singer/songwriter.

~Favorite way to decompress? Apple TV, a little wine & lose myself in stories.

~ Favorite TV Shows? Sons of Anarchy, Gossip Girls, Pretty Little Liars, Life Unexpected & Cougar Town.

~ Top life lesson? Have a sense of humor, don’t take yourself so seriously & LAUGH at yourself as much as you can.

Lastly, how could I NOT bring up fashion after having written a whole post about this lovely Mother who also happens to be a red carpet fave of mine!

She’s a…

complete…

and total…

GLAMAZON!

Best part of the interview for me? The part where she said she can’t wait to check out all of our blogs! =)

OKAY, ARE YOU READY FOR THE GIVEAWAY???

I’m giving away the Life as We Know It Blue-Ray DVD Combo pack & the Life as We Know It Soundtrack to TWO lucky readers!

Here’s how to win: 1. Leave me a comment about your favorite romantic comedy. 2. Tweet this giveaway & leave a second comment with the tweet URL. The giveaway closes on February 8th at midnight! The winners will be randomly selected by random.org

Finally, I’ll be hosting a Life as We Know It GIRLS NIGHT-IN at my house on February 25!

And guess who will be there?

Katherine Heigl!!!!

(just kidding, but I will be there and that should be good enough)! =) If your in my neck of the woods, come on over! I’ll bring all the sugary foods we all want, plenty’o’popcorn, and you bring whatever choice beverage you love. Thanks, Katherine for making this Mama’s day!
