Josie Bissett quotes:

My first children's book, 'Tickle Monster,' was inspired by tickling my son one evening.

I'd have to say, for me, as a child, my favorite memories were always centered around Christmas time. It always seemed like no matter how much money my parents had or didn't have, we got completely spoiled rotten. There were always presents under the tree, and we always did special things, like hide elves around the house.

When I was pregnant, I wanted to take some time off from acting, but I still needed a creative outlet for myself. My first two books were created during my pregnancies and after giving birth to my first child.

I think that every decision I made came from what's best for the kids. If both parents have the children's best interests in mind, it's going to go OK. The second that the parents don't do that, it gets ugly.

I have to say, creating memories is so important to me that I did a book about creating memories for your family.

When I had Mason, I was really ready to leave the business of acting, but still wanted to do work that I could control.

Tickle Monster' is an interactive book and, by the nature of the story, bonds the parent and child through tickling and laughter.

I want my kids to live their life with great family memories that they can pass on to their children.

I'm doing a lot of parenting work and acting as a spokesperson. I have a clothing line and a line of toys.

I don't really think of myself or picture myself as a Hollywood person.

The 'Tickle Monster' story literally flew out of my mouth.

Any job I choose has to work with my schedule with my kids. I don't want to miss any of my time with them.

We all wake up at our leisure; the kids know not to wake me up. Then we make breakfast or go out to eat with family. There is usually a sporting event or two to watch!

I think with age you get wiser and understand the importance of taking care of your skin. I think you're also more aware of your mortality.

Id have to say, for me, as a child, my favorite memories were always centered around Christmas time. It always seemed like no matter how much money my parents had or didnt have, we got completely spoiled rotten. There were always presents under the tree, and we always did special things, like hide elves around the house.

It's so important to engage your kids to create rituals and moments that they will always remember.

I can't imagine my life without my kids. Raising them has been the greatest joy in my life.

Don't let your fear grow bigger than your faith.

If my kids decide to be actors and really, truly love it and are passionate about it, then I would definitely want to help them along their way, but it's a tough business.

Dreams come a size too big so we can grow into them.

To be quite frank and honest with you, it drives me absolutely crazy when my kids fight, the sound of them fighting and not getting along.
