Emma Heming Willis on Raising Kids with Bruce Willis: ‘We’re Having a Ball’
With two little ones — Mabel, 4, and Evelyn, 23 months — Emma Heming Willis and husband Bruce Willis have their hands full.
“We’re very busy around here,” Heming Willis tells PEOPLE.
And when it comes to raising their two girls and managing the couple’s work schedules, she says, it’s “definitely a balancing act.”
“I have a blog so I work from home. There’s other stuff that I’m doing, but I try and base everything from our house,” Heming Willis, 37, explains. “My husband’s the same. When he’s not working, we’re home.”

“We’re basically a stay-at-home family with the exception that we have to go into the city sometimes and do meetings and this, that and the other,” adds the Room to Grow ambassador, whose husband recently wrapped a run on Broadway in Misery. “So it’s a juggling act for the most part, but you just do it. You just make it work.”

And Heming Willis says their daughter Mabel’s most recent milestone has helped the Willis household out.
“She’s 4, so I just feel like we’ve come out of the twos and threes, which were lots of tantrums and what not,” explains Heming Willis. “She’s, I wouldn’t say starting to mellow out, but she definitely can express herself more so it definitely eases things up I think around here.”
Meanwhile, Evelyn is “starting to use the potty.”
“That’s a big thing for us at the moment,” the model-designer says. “I’m excited at the idea of moving away from diapers at some point.”
As for the best part about mommyhood for Heming Willis?
“There’s so many great things about motherhood,” she says. “It’s just taught me so much. It’s taught me so much about myself and just seeing that I have so much more patience than I actually ever could imagine.”
She continues: “You get to be a kid again, which is fun. We took the kids to Disney World just at the start of spring break — and my husband and I had just as much fun as the kids.”
Heming Willis admits her and her movie star husband are just “having a ball” with their baby girls.
“It’s a pleasure, but it’s hard as well,” she says. “But for the most part, more pleasure than pain definitely.”

Babes on Broadway! Bruce Willis Hangs with His Daughters at Misery Theatre
Playtime in the wings!
Actor Bruce Willis took some time between acts to hang out with his youngest daughters — Mabel Ray, 3, and Evelyn Penn, 20 months — at the New York City theatre where he’s starring in the Broadway adaptation Misery.
In a photo shared by Willis’ wife, Emma Heming-Willis, the actor sits with his girls as they enjoy a snack.
“#TheaterLife,” the 37-year-old mom of two captioned the cute candid.
The actor is starring alongside Roseanne alum Laurie Metcalf in the show, which plays eight times a week until Feb. 14.
The new stage version of Stephen King‘s novel was famously first made into the 1990 movie with James Caan and Kathy Bates — the role that earned her an Oscar.
Willis previously told PEOPLE he’s taking stage advice from his oldest child, daughter Rumer (who has also appeared in the Great White Way), for his turn on Broadway.
“She said to ‘go home and go to bed.’ You have to look after your voice,” said Willis.

Demi Moore Talks About Divorce From Bruce Willis!
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis‘ marriage seemed like years ago, but the effects are still felt.
They’ve divorced back in ’98, but any separation was bound to have its long-term impact on the kids, especially Rumer Willis.
“”When their father and I decided to divorce, it probably had the biggest impact on her,” Demi shares.
She continues, “There really wasn’t anything I could do to stop it. Her self-esteem was nothing. I could only just keep loving her and loving her until she could love herself,” referring to Rumer’s breakdown during her teens, which everyone scrutinized.
Fast forward to the present: the kids are now fine, and the parents are still friends, so we can say this is one amicable separation.
