Jessica Alba a Regular Mom: SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.


SPY KIDS:  ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD IN 4D In theaters August 19th 




When we are in the kitchen we smell everything, I always ask the kids to tell me to describe the ingredients to me. We pick basil and rosemary and take big sniffs to get our creative juices flowing.  The new movie Spy Kids, All The Time In The World is in 4D has smell-a-vision or Aroma Scope, which means we get to smell what the actors are smelling! When you get to the theater you will get a scratch and sniff card, I know my generation will be excited. (I speak for all of us when I say we loved our scratch and sniff stickers)

Jessica Alba star of Spy Kids All The Time In The World was as sweet over the phone as she seems to be on the big screen. She is very down to earth and seems like a regular gal who has made quite a name for herself in Hollywood. She has a 3 year old girl and had her second daughter on August 13th and is absolutely thrilled. Although she says she can't imagine having them grow up or be teenagers, she says that gives her a panic attack!  I was invited in on a call where a number of Bloggers got to ask her a few questions about her new movie, SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD 
 

There were some great questions about how she balances her time between family and work, what her favorite scene was and my question about feeding her toddler of course!


Chef Jen's question: Your new movie is called Spy Kids All The Time In The World. I am pretty sure that you don't feel like you have all the time in the world! Being a mom I want to know what your best go to snack is for your daughter? 

Jessica:
Although her daughter is picky at times she is a good eater. Her go to snack is fruit (I loved hearing this) 
On the run she grabs grapes. She says her daughter is all about being a big girl so when she gets a whole apple she is thrilled. Her daughter knows not to eat the seeds in the middle too.  She loves to eat peaches, mom says even though they are messy it's a big girl fruit that keeps her occupied!

My friend Amy of the The Family Chef 
asked Jessica, "what is your family's favorite meal?" Jessica replied with some of our family favorites like rice, veggies and she says her husband makes great tacos. She also said her daughter changes her mind 40 times a night, sounds like a typical 3 year old to me! Her daughter is good eater even though she can be picky, again, a typical 3 year old. 


Although many would describe her as an exotic beauty, Alba was raised in a traditional hardworking American family in California. She said she and her brother were always made to feel like they were number one. Although her mom sometimes held 3 jobs she made time to make them feel important and took the time to check in and remind them they are a priority. Jessica talked about working less these days and prioritizing time to spend with her family, I like this idea, and I think I will try it.

So if you are looking for something to do on a hot summer day, cool off with this cool new movie.

Synopsis
On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all...married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids.  But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don’t want her around, is her toughest challenge yet.  Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn’t know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case - Marissa’s a retired secret agent...
