Marcia Cross Can Thank Her Twins for Her Latest Role
Actress Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives fame can now add another role to her resume. Depending on how you look at it, I guess you could say this one carries more panache. At the very least it’s probably closest to her heart.
According to online stories Cross recently signed a deal with apple sauce company Motts. She is going to be a spokesperson for the company, which is a shrewd move on the company’s part, given the popularity of her show.
Apparently the heads of the company were impressed by the fact that Cross has refused to hire a nanny. This in itself will probably appeal to many working moms who have to juggle many balls at once, while taking care of their children and working.
Cross and her husband, Tom Mahoney resorted to In Vitro Fertilization which led to her double blessings Savannah and Eden who were born in February 2007. The couple got married a year earlier in 2006 in San Gabriel, California.
A Motts spokesperson was quoted online discussing the deal with Cross: “…is balancing her work and her life without surrounding herself with five nannies. We wanted to say something different and new about an old brand that has been around since 1842.” I couldn’t have put it better myself. I applaud Marcia Cross, and I can’t help but wonder if this may start a new trend among celebrities. Still, moms who use nannies certainly can’t be faulted for doing so. Everybody’s situation is different.
Fans of Cross and Motts products can look for the campaign to begin in March of 2009. Her fans can also look out for her next movie Just Peck, which is currently in post production and is expected to hit screens in 2009.

Kellie - Mother Of Twins says...
Good for Marcia! Although, a nanny can be very helpful when you have your hands full with twins, it’s still extremely rewarding to provide the care yourself!

I often wonder what I would do if I had twins. My one was really tiring.
Science-mom says...
I’m sure that though Marcia might not have a full-time nanny, she gets lots of help be it from family or parttime babysitters as well as cleaning ladies. I had my twin 5-and-a-half years ago and I couldn’t have coped without parttime help. And I wasn’t even working the first year. As for the second year, well – I placed my twin boys in a daycare center 2 days a week. Yes, Kellie it’s very rewarding and yes, Jess, it was very exhausting. But once you’re in such a position, your mother instincts and coping skills just kick in.
