In reality, Gellar and her family are a tight-knit unit, even posing together for her new book, which she admits was a bit of a challenge.

"You know, I don't think anybody in my family, including myself, loves getting their picture taken," she admitted. "My kids don't even like the phone [camera]. They're like, 'Ugh! No more pictures. God, mom!'"

One thing the kids do like to do with their mom, however, is cook.
