Jane Seymour
Raising Healthy Kids from the Heart

It’s a sunny morning in Malibu, Calif., and legendary actress, author and artist Jane Seymour has just returned home from a parent-teacher conference at her sons’ school. Like many 9-year-old boys, one of her twins needs reminding that it’s important to “play nice” during recess, and Seymour and the teacher have worked out a plan to help him remember. And just yesterday the twins, John and Kristopher, had their first baseball game of the season. Seymour and her husband, director James Keach, cheered the boys on, elated that the less competitive of the two actually made an incredible hit and tagged four runners out.

“I was just so excited,” Seymour says. “He is tortoise and the hare, the little engine that could, and he just had a beaming smile on his face. Then his brother, who usually wins everything, came out of the pen and gave him a pat on the back and cheered him and said, ‘Way to go!’ That is the stuff that makes my day.”

While these vignettes from Seymour’s life sound familiar to many of us moms, what happens next during her day is a departure from what most of us can expect.

Seymour will meet with her secretary, who coordinates Seymour’s schedule and books her flights around the world. Once the to-do list is complete, Seymour is off to read a script for her upcoming appearance on the WB show Smallville, then to work on the funding and distribution of an upcoming film she’s producing, then to continue painting commissioned pieces for the Naples, Italy, Wine Festival. She also has events connected with her role in this summer’s comedy The Wedding Crashers, with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, and her documentary, Running Dry, about the world’s water crisis. And of course there’s often work to do with her branded line of home products and children's apparel, which are available in Saks department stores.

And this is all before the twins return home from school.
