Sarah has often shared personal insights about her experiences as a mother. In a 2018 interview, the doting mom shared, “Sometimes I just sit on the stairs because they’re all in the kitchen, eating all the food, and I listen. And I’m so charmed by their conversation.”
The “Hocus Pocus” actress also expressed happiness about James growing into “the young man he’s becoming.” Likewise, Sarah remarked on the distinct personalities of Tabitha and Loretta. She admitted that she often forgets they’re twins.

“They’re really devoted to each other, but they’ll also say, ‘I need time away from her.’ Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in. They go to different schools. That’s Tabitha’s idea,” explained Sarah.
