    Jessica Simpson loves the sound of her children “giggling”

    The ‘Open Book’ author has three children – Maxi, eight, Ace, seven, and Birdie, 22 months – with her husband Eric Johnson, and has said there’s nothing she loves more than hearing her brood “cackle”, as she described the sound as “happy laughing therapy”


    She said: "When I hear my kids cackle, it's the most healing sound. It's contagious - my whole family starts giggling together, and it's like some form of happy laughing therapy."

    Jessica, 40, also said "family is everything” to her, and admitted she hopes her own children will continue to have a strong family bond when they get older.

    She added: "More than anything, I want to teach them morals and values and to keep them safe but not afraid."

    The ‘Irresistible’ singer always makes time for herself once she’s finished “taking care of everyone” in her household, and has said she enjoys “journaling” as a form of self-care as it helps her “get her thoughts out”.

    She told Shape magazine: "I started journaling after I wrote my book. It gets my thoughts out and lets me face them on paper. I know I can't carry the weight of the world and all those thoughts all the time. After a busy day of taking care of everyone, this clears my mind so I can have a restful night of sleep."

    Meanwhile, Jessica previously said it’s “so cute” to watch her kids interact with each other.

    She said: "It's so cute to watch my older kids with her. My son and her are like BFFs! The cutest. When Birdie is laughing, like cackling, that is a contagious thing throughout the family. Her first word was 'Ace.' "
