Drew Barrymore Baby Girl Frankie Introduced to the World - Mom Raising Her in Jewish Tradition
Drew Barrymore is a very proud mother of two daughters but admits that it has been life-changing learning how to take care of an infant and a toddler at the same time. She relies on husband Will Kopelman for help during those times, and the two hope to bring up happy, healthy daughters.
"They're awake and asleep at different times, or awake at the same time, and it's a juggling act a little bit," Barrymore told People magazine in the first interview post-baby. She gave birth to daughter Frankie on April 22 and daughter Olive is already 20 months old.
"I wanted Olive to have a sibling, because I really would have liked that in my life," she explained. "And always being there on time, being there when I say I'm going to be there … creating a real stable home," Barrymore said are the most important things when it comes to raising her girls. "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."

Barrymore married Kopelman in 2012 and both practice Judaism in their home. They want to raise their daughters in the same tradition and told the Times of Israel that daughter Olive, and now daughter Frankie, will be raised traditionally.
"It's a beautiful faith," she said on "The View" in 2013, "and I'm so honored to be around it. It's so family-oriented … the stories are so beautiful and it's incredibly enlightening. I'm really happy. I do the Seders and we do Passover. We had a very traditional wedding ceremony. I did the ketubah. We wore the yarmulkes and we did the chuppah."
