Of course, while she described hernew role as "fun," she did admit, "when you have twins,you get overwhelmed quite easily and really quickly.” She continued to say, “Iguess I was surrounded by way too many moms who are always like, 'Oh, I got itso hard.' And my sister was always like, 'It's a piece of cake. It's superawesome,'" the actress said. "So I stuck with her, and it'sfun."
