Lori Loughlin says dedication is key to being a modern mom
You won’t see Lori Loughlin taking her lifestyle as an actress — or her role as wife to Mossimo Gianulli, creator of the Mossimo clothing line — for granted. The 43-year-old mom to daughters Isabella Rose, 9, and Olivia Jade, 8, told ModernMom that she’s been fortunate in her ability to successfully balance work and career.
When making a choice about taking on or accepting a role, the first thing I think about is how it’s going to affect my kids. If it takes away from an important time when my kids need me, then I pass on the project and stay home with them. However, I realize not all moms are in a similar position where they can choose to stay home with their kids. I do realize that my husband has a good job and can support our family and that I am very lucky that I have the flexibility to make those choices.
Lori said that a modern mom can be a working parent, or one who has taken a break from work to focus solely on her children. Either way, she added, "a modern mom is … dedicated to her family and children first and foremost." The family unwinds in Aspen, Colorado, where they like to spend entire days skiing. Lori, who can next be seen in the new Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff being developed by the CW, said it’s a special time.
Starting from the minute we wake up, we’re together all day having meals as a family, exercising, watching movies and just spending good quality time.
