What are you gals up to?
We’re running errands, having a girls’ day. I’m going for a lip wax.

Glad we caught you beforehand. That pretzel looks delicious.
Yeah, well, we eat all organic at home, so if we’re running around and the kids want a hot dog or pretzel, I’ll get it for them.

How old is Helena?
She’ll be 3 in June. Her brother, Hermès, is 5.

Do you think you look alike?
She has her dad’s blue eyes, but yeah, we look alike, which is fun. But I do see her as her own individual.

Is she girlie?
Totally. She’s into shopping and pink. And every day she says, “I want to go to a party!” Every day. So we buy party hats and put them on at home.

Are you planning her 3rd birthday?
Oh, yeah. We’re conceptualizing the princess birthday party.
