Acting

, running a business and being a mom to three kids? Yep, Reese Witherspoon does it all.In fact, her ability to wear multiple hats is something the A-list star is keen to pass on to
her kids Tennessee, 4, Deacon, 13, and Ava, 17.

“My mom worked, and I think it’s good for kids to see women working and being successful,” Witherspoon, 40, tells InStyle for its December cover story.

She adds, “I think it’s going to make them hard workers because they see that I don’t get much sleep.”

The Oscar winner and Draper James founder admits that even though being a working mom is something important to her and her family, that doesn’t mean it’s easy.


“I’m just trying to hold on, trying to make it through,” she says. “My older kids help with the little one. It’s nice to have a big family.”

Witherspoon, who also has a helping hand in husband Jim Toth, knows the work is worth it for the zest for life she’s instilling in her children.
