The mother you want to be: Blake Lively

BLAKE LIVELY has revealed that she plans to follow in the footsteps of her mother Elaine and sisters Robyn and Lori when she becomes a mother - adding that her new website has also taught her a thing or two about being a mother.

"I am fortunate enough to come across people like that and anything I learn from them - to be able to expose my children and instil any sort of values or motivation in them. That's exciting." "To each their own," she said of being a working mum.
