Sharing her approach to parenting in 2021, Tori told People : "It's really hard for me because I definitely grew up in a family where we had a lot of support around."

Parenting style

She explained: "I grew up with a nanny full-time, so I was always that girl that was like, 'When I have kids, I'm going to do it all myself.' So I still do it all, but I'm still working on that. It's okay to ask for help."

Speaking about her five kids, Tori added: "As long as they're happy, they're healthy, they're loved, at the end of the day, I'm like, 'Okay. Some things fell through the cracks. We didn't get everything done. Tomorrow's a new day.'"

Work/Life balance

As for how she balances her busy work schedule with life as a mom, Tori revealed all on the PEOPLE Every Day podcast . "I don't like leaving my kids, always try to bring my kids if I can," she said in 2022.

DIY

Tori's daughter Stella is particularly crafty, with the Beverly Hills 90210 star calling her teen a "Jill-of-all-trades." And judging by Stella's Instagram account this couldn't ring more true.
