Teaming up for a schoolhouse pick-up, Jennifer Garner toted baby Seraphina Rose in her arms while scooping up Violet in Santa Monica on Thursday (November 12).
Ever the multi-tasking mommy, Jen carefully juggled her adorable daughter and a lunchbox while chatting on her cell phone as a helping hand carried Violet out of her class and towards the family’s nearby car.
The sighting comes after a recent fun-filled dinner outing for Miss Garner, as she stepped out earlier this week to Madeo with her “Valentine’s Day” co-stars, Jessica Biel and Emma Roberts.
Talking about Jen, Miss Biel recently told the Daily Star, “My girl crush is Jen Garner at the moment (but) here’s the thing with girl crushes: it’s more of a respect thing. It’s like, you’re beautiful, you’re cool, you look and seem like somebody I would want to hang out with and your career is awesome.”

Enjoying a day out with her daughters, Jennifer Garner treated her little girls to a visit to a park in Brentwood, CA earlier today (November 7).
With some help from a nanny, the “13 Going on 30” actress escorted Violet and Seraphina to a swing set where they swung and seemed to be having a marvelous time.
The Affleck ladies recently returned home to the west coast after spending weeks in Boston, Massachusetts where Ben Affleck is filming his latest movie, “The Town.”
Currently, Ms Garner has two films in production- “Valentine’s Day” coming out in February 2010 and “Butter” which is expected to be out sometime in 2012.

Offering up a smile and a wave, the “Alias” actress picked up a few household needs after recently returning back to the west coast after spending the summer in Boston.
Having spent the past few months raising her lovely daughters, Violet and Seraphina, Jen recently talked about what she hopes to instill in her little ones.
She told press, “It’s so important to me that they grow up with a healthy self-esteem, confidence and knowing just where to kick if they need to! You want to set the best example you can for them in every way. You want them to grow up and be proud of you.”

Always the lovely pair, Jennifer Garner was spotted out with daughter Violet Affleck for a morning stroll in Boston, Massachusetts on Monday (October 12).
The pair are in town while husband and father, Ben Affleck, films and directs his latest movie titled “The Town”.
And while she’s certainly enjoying her time off, Jen recently told press that she’s pondering the idea of a return to TV.
“I never say never to TV because it has been really good for me,” she said. “I am not a snob about work. The great thing about TV is you can stay in one place.
“Eventually my kids aren’t going to want to be living all over the place. Television would allow us to settle down.”

Getting the day underway, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner toted their two little girls out to breakfast in Cambridge on Sunday morning (October 11).
The family of four got their grub on at a local cafe, with Jen also enjoying a stroll around Beantown with 8-month-old Seraphina.
On the east coast while Ben works on “The Town,” Jen recently confessed that her man is a bit too slow-paced as a director for her to want to work with him.
She tells: “He is not the world’s fastest director, and I like to get in and do my work and go home and put the kids to bed. I’m afraid there would be this moment where I would say, ‘OK. You’ve got it. I promise you it is in the can. I’ve got to go home.’ “

Jennifer Garner has an interview with Parade Magazine that was published earlier this week, but it’s new to me and there’s not a lot going on so we’ll cover it. We have this understanding between the writers that Thursdays generally suck for news, (with Wednesdays a close second, forgive us all the Gosselin and Kardashian coverage yesterday) but I try not to harp on it too much. Just keep it in mind and cut us some slack on those days.
Anyway Garner gave a cute interview in which she talked about what she enjoys in life and how she gets by as a busy mom. Kaiser tends to think that Garner is too goody-goody to be true, but I’m also a mom in my 30s and I can relate to her. I think she is an authentic person trying to do the best job she can and that she handles it all with grace. More celebrities should be like Garner, who never seems to get caught up in the glamor but still radiates it on the red carpet.
In this interview with Parade, Garner reveals how her upbringing influenced her and describes how she enjoys cooking and spending time with her family. She doesn’t make it seem easier than it is, though, and admits that things can get harried in her family and that sometimes she’s exhausted and needs help:
Tips for working moms.
“Good luck! Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You should try to get help wherever you can. Don’t guilt yourself, it doesn’t help. Do anything you can to try to save time with the dumb stuff around the house so you can be with your kids as much as you can. And put your BlackBerry down and just be with them.”
How physical stunts prepared her for motherhood.
“Alias set me up in a good way for motherhood because I did run on no sleep for so long and I did push myself so hard. Everybody talked about how hard the sleep thing was with babies and I thought ‘Oh, this isn’t that bad! You’re sleeping some!’ But it’s never-ending. There’s never a weekend or there’s never a night, that’s what’s harsh. On Alias at least I had to stay in shape for my job so it was just part of my day no matter what. Now finding that hour for myself is much harder to find. I have to do it before they’re awake.”
Taking advice from mom.
“My mom is full of good advice. She always says, ‘Happiness is your own responsibility.’ And she always says, ‘Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning.’ That’s what she would tell us after every breakup or anytime you did poorly on something. Most of our little bites of advice as kids came from either Little House on the Prairie or Anne of Green Gables.”
Finding inspiration at home.
“My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents. My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma — like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place — and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education. So it’s always been emphasized in my house. There’s so much missed opportunity with all of these kids all across the country who aren’t getting what they need to do well in school and once you don’t do well in school you don’t want to go to school. So it’s a cycle in our country that’s very sobering.”
Mom by day, red carpet stunner by night.
“If you look at the pictures taken every day of my life you’ll see that I do not make it work by far most of the time! I am in jeans that are on the floor from last night and one of the five t-shirts that I rotate. I do know moms who pull it together every day, I am not one of them. But when I do, I try to really pull it together so it makes some kind of impact. Sometimes for yourself you just need to take a shower, put on something clean, put on a little blush and go out the door.”
Whipping up some home cooking.
“I make really homey food. Just the other night I did a roast chicken with butternut squash and brown sugar. And I did brown rice and some roasted broccoli. I make a wheat pizza once a week. When my daughter is the hungriest, that’s when I try to have vegetables out for her to snack on while I’m finishing dinner. So I don’t start with putting her favorite thing in front of her, I start with putting some snap peas or broccoli with dip or carrots to get her going. I rarely do take-out. I like to be in charge of what we eat. I’m a control freak that way!”
Raising kids in the spotlight.
“I feel like they have a very normal upbringing. It’s too bad that there aren’t laws that protect their privacy, but that’s a whole other thing. They do have things that are really exciting for them and strange for them, I’m sure. Like living in a different place for a while then going back home. But kids have that with parents with all different jobs so I try not to look at it as something that is a problem. But kids are kids, they think whatever goes on in their lives is normal and I think that my kids’ lives are pretty normal.”
What she hopes to pass on to her daughters.
“It’s so important to me that they grow up with a healthy self-esteem, confidence and knowing just where to kick if they need to! You want to set the best example you can for them in every way. You want them to grow up and be proud of you.”
Her perfect day.
“A little hair and makeup! No, my perfect day is a day where I have a little bit of time with each kid and then we all play together. Where I make dinner where there’s enough left over for another day. And if the day ends with a glass of wine and a conversation with my husband, that’s a good day.”
[From Parade]
Garner only briefly mentioned that she hopes to protect her daughters’ privacy, and she’s spoken about this issue before. In May, she explained that the paparazzi regularly yell at her older daughter Violet, three, to try and get a reaction and explained “When we go to preschool, there are so many paparazzi there that they are knocking kids on the heads with cameras and knocking them down.” The fact that Garner has not once lashed out at the paparazzi and that she hardly mentions this very real threat to her family is a testament to what a patient person she is. From what I can tell Garner and Affleck don’t even have a bodyguard, even though she’s had to deal with a longterm stalker. Maybe they should get a burly guy or two to fend off the photographers, but they’re probably just striving to keep things as normal as possible for their daughters.
Like Garner, I also love to cook, and there is a real joy in finding a recipe and making nice something for your family. The more I hear from Garner, the more I like her. She’s a rarity in Hollywood and I wish both her and her husband Ben a lot of success in the future.
Jennifer Garner and Violet are shown out in Boston on 9/27/09. She’s also shown at the premiere of The Invention of Lying on 9/21/09. Credit: Fame Pictures
