Ashlee Simpson helped to introduce new additions to Pieces candies family the other day in Times Square in New York. That would be a great job. I love Reese’s Peanut Butter cups so much! Her run on Broadway is ending on February 7th and the whole family will be moving back to the west coast. Ashlee had time to talk to the Celebrity Baby Blog about moving back and how Bronx has enriched her life so much. Here are the highlights:
On her daily routine: We have Bronx on such a schedule, so it’s focused around him. I don’t leave for the show until 6 p.m., so I get ready and go there later, since it’s an 8 p.m. show. Bronx goes to bed an hour later, and I’m home all day, so that’s been really nice. Although we do eight shows a week! So Bronx comes to the theater on the weekends to visit.
On how she deals with the time apart from Bronx: He comes up and has lunch or dinner with me at the theater pretty often. He came to a rehearsal, and yelled out “Mama!” when I got onstage. It was really cute!
On how motherhood has changed her: Oh absolutely. It’s the best thing of my life, it’s helped me grow. Same for Pete. I think that being a parent in general just changes you so much.
On things she can’t survive without: It’s changing all the time. Bronx is really into all sorts of books, building forts — he’s such a boy! It’s a lot of fun. And he’s definitely on the go, we’re always running around playing games like hide-and-go-seek.
On if Bronx has listened to her music: He’s definitely heard Fall Out Boy and my music, too, but we play everything for him. He gets to choose his own kind of music, but he doesn’t have a favorite yet.
On what’s next for her, career-wise: I plan to take two weeks off for sure, just to be home and enjoy some down time. And then after that I’m going to start writing again. I’m also looking at some films.
