New York City gal Julianne Moore and her family, husband Bart Freundlich, son Cal, 9 1/2, and daughter Liv, 5, are currently stationed in Guelph, Ontario, Canada while she shoots the thriller Blindness, and the family is loving the new locale. Julianne and her kids, who are taking tennis and swimming lessons there, have tackled all the hot spots and Liv wants to live in Guelph forever. 

It’s paradise because of all the amusement parks. Wonderland, Centre Island, African Lion Safari, Bingemins Water Park – have you been there? We’ve been there. We’ve hit them all!

We went to the Mennonite Museum, and I forced the kids to go to the broom store. My son said, ‘I feel like we’re doing a lot of things that you want to do.’ I said, ‘You’re right, and if I were really mean, I’d make you go to the quilt store, too.’ They were like, ‘Noooo, Mommm!’ But it was okay, because they both got horseshoes.

I can’t even take it to lunch, as you saw. And honestly, it’s great. Having kids forces you to compartmentalize. And I couldn’t be away this long without them. We’re all too miserable. I’m so fortunate, because every working parent is looking for some kind of flexibility. I also think it’s good to show them that work isn’t something you have to disappear into; it’s part of your life.

Actress Julianne Moore, 46, just finished a Broadway run and now has a number of films in the works. How does she balance her work with her family – daughter Liv, 5, son Cal, 9, and husband Bart Freundlich, 37?

The same way everybody else does who has children and a job. You do the best you can! A lot of other things – like your social life – fall by the wayside. We take walks, and the kids ride their bikes and scooters.

It was a tough gig because you do all the stuff with thekids during the day and then go to work at night. And [then] it startsall over again. You really rarely get a chance to stop and rest.

Now that it’s over though, she’s "got [her] life back a little bit."
