What a little peanut!

Drew Barrymore introduces newborn daughter Frankie on this week's cover of People, and the actress talks all about parenting two young kids and her wishes for them as they grow older.

The A-lister explains how her recovery after giving birth was quicker this time around.

    "I knew that I have two kids to take care of now and just kicked my own butt to get back into the swing of things immediately," she tells the mag.


So what's the most difficult part of having a toddler and a baby to look after?

    "Just being split. They're awake and asleep at different times, or awake at the same time, and it's a juggling act a little bit," she confesses.


The Blended star also explains how her own turbulent childhood inspired her to be the best mom she can be, and how she wanted a sibling for daughter Olive, 3, because she never had that growing up.

    "Always being on time, being there when I say I'm going to be there. Creating a real stable home. I know when my daughter wants to swing higher and jump into the pool and all of these things, she feels safe. To make your kids feel safe is everything," she reveals.


So how is little Olive adjusting to another child in the house?

    "Olive loves Frankie and just wants to hang out with her all the time. She wants to feed her. She's super into it. That's now. I'm sure things will ebb and flow," she adds.


Everything is coming up roses for this famous flower child!
