Drew Barrymore is a busy lady.

With a huge movie career, a production company and her Flower Beauty cosmetics line, her number one focus these days is her daughters, Olive, 2½, and Frankie, 1, with husband Will Kopelman, 38.

For Barrymore, 40, one of the most important and challenging things about being a mother is watching out for her daughters’ safety.

“I think as a parent sometimes I feel very overwhelmed with all that there is,” she told PEOPLE at Safe Kids Day in Los Angeles.

Even with all of the worries, Barrymore is loving being a mom to two adorable little girls. “Two is even better than one. I can’t believe it,” she shares.

When asked how Olive is handling her big sister duties, Barrymore says, “She’s great. She’s awesome.”

With two young children to take care of, one thing Barrymore isn’t worried about is getting back to her pre-baby weight. “I think it’s crazy to worry about that. It takes nine months to build, it takes nine months to unbuild, at best,” she explains.

Barrymore isn’t letting the media or anyone else’s opinion of her post-baby body get to her. “We just have to take pressures off,” she says. “They’re so silly and ridiculous. It took a year and I’m not even there, but it’s fine. I’m so okay with that.”

As for her daughters’s recent milestones, Frankie just had a big one — her first birthday was Tuesday! — but Barrymore is hoping to add another one to the list soon. “I’ve been up all night doing sleep training,” she says.

I thought this was so cute! Will & Drew are having Olive learn Hebrew and Drew shares about her girls with People.com.

Drew Barrymore‘s daughters are meeting milestones every single day, but 2-year-old Olive‘s most recent memorable moment might be one of her cutest yet.

“[She said] her first, ‘Oy vey.’ That made me happy, ” the actress told PEOPLE at The Daily Front Row’s inaugural Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Thursday.

According to the founder of Flower cosmetics, her toddler’s language skills are equally impressive. “My daughter counted to three in Hebrew today,” Barrymore, 39, shares. “She was learning [Hebrew] this morning so I was proud of her.”

As for her strong bond with 9-month-old Frankie? Well, Olive excels at being a big sister, too.

“She’s really sweet,” says Barrymore. “Whenever Frankie cries, she always goes, ‘Don’t worry, Frankie. It’s okay.’ That’s very sweet.”

But like any siblings, the mom of two admits sometimes Olive can love Frankie a little too much. “She’s a sister so she also tumbles her around way too hard,” she jokes. “I think every mom has the same experience with their kids.”

USA Today shared this article about how Drew and her family celebrate Christmas & Hanukkah.

Sounds like a December-long party at Drew Barrymore’s house!

The actress says her family celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah. “This year, we’ll celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah, because Will’s Jewish so our daughters are half-Jewish,” Drew tells Closer. “We’re doing Elf on the Shelf and Mensch on a Bench!”

The Will she’s talking about is, of course, her husband, Will Kopelman. They have two daughters together

— Olive, 2, and Frankie, 7 months — and their holiday plans are underway.

“I got Olive a really cool wooden dollhouse from London,” says Drew. “It was damaged, but I thought it was cool.”

As for Frankie, “she’s a hand-me-down baby, so I have all these great toys from Olive, like flash cards and a piggy bank,” Drew tells Closer.

Drew talked with E!Online on why Will is making it hard for her to loose her baby weight!

Drew Barrymore is one busy lady.

The 39-year-old actress is simultaneously raising two little girls (Frankie is 6-and-a-half months old and big sis Olive is 2) as she’s running Flower Beauty, her makeup and cosmetics company, and branching out into signature fragrances. Still, Drew always does her best to make time for Will Kopelman, even though, as she joked to E! News exclusively Tuesday at the launch of her three new fragrances, her handsome hubby makes it “impossible to lose my baby weight”!

The reason? “Because he’s such an eater,” she said. “And I love food, too, so this baby weight is going to stay on for a while. It’s just not easy with him because he is such a foodie.”

“Date night,” she went on, “is always about trying a new restaurant or eating food on the couch [and] watching Top Chef—which we did last night.”

Sounds perfect! And, if you can believe it, one of Drew’s new fragrances—Sultry—”was actually meant for romance and date night.”

“We loved the idea for edibles for a man, so it has patchouly and sweet plum,” she said of this particular scent (the others are Cherished and Radiant).

“The way to a man’s heart is his stomach” she went on, “so it’s a little aphrodisiac.”

So clearly the hubby is reaping the benefits of living with the Flower Beauty guru, but what about daughters Frankie and Olive? They’re not there quite yet. “They’re still like kids, you know,” said Drew.

Her older daughter does enjoy being part of mom’s getting ready process at home, though, which is part of why Drew tries to do all her primping at casa de Kopelman.

When she does that, Olive “sits on my lap,” Drew explained, so “at least I feel like I’m getting time with her.”

When that’s not an option, though, Drew’s all about beauty on-the-go—literally! On Tuesday, she Instagrammed a picture of herself painting her nails on the subway—no shame! “I love commuter beauty,” she told E! News. “I am always on the elevator, in my rearview mirror, on the subway doing my nails and my make up—you name it…There’s just something about beauty on the move. Commuter beauty is a movement!”

Drew’s half sister, Jessica Barrymore, through her father was found dead yesterday. Drew has issued a statement in regards to the death.

Although I only met her briefly, I wish her and her loved ones as much peace as possible and I’m so incredibly sorry for their loss.
