Mom Knows Best! (Yes, even in Hollywood)
Womens World November 17, 1992

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen- The adorable Olsen twins of Full House may be tiny superstars, but their mother Jarnette says they're just ordinary six-year-olds at home.
"There's some sibling rivalry, as with all brothers and sisters." says Jarnette, referring to the twins, their seven-year-old brother Trent and three-year-old sister Elizabeth.
"For instance," she says, "Trent doesn't like it when the other kids play with his Nintendo-- that's when some little fights come about."
What happens then?
"They're disciplined," says their mom. "There are time-outs, and sometimes they're grounded. But we follow the same procedure for all our children The Twins are not given any special treatment."
Mary-Kate and Ashley do have extremelly full schedules. In between all their acting chores, they still have to learn their three Rs with on-the-set tutors.
But this busy pace doesn't exempt the girls from their household tasks, which include making their beds everyday before going to the studio. They're also learning how to bake cookies--which they love almost as much as being on TV.

TWICE AS NICE
Ladies Home Journal December 1993

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have played Michelle on Full House for most of their seven years. And now, in a typical Hollywood career move, they're getting involved in other projects as well: They recently starred in their first video (aptly named Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen: Our First Video) and released their second album, I am the Cute One. But at Christmas, they're happy just being kids waiting for Santa. (Can't you tell them apart? Ashley is on the right [Corresponds with pictures])
