Before you have a baby, friends tell you 'sleep now,' and you laugh because you don't think that all those stories could be true. But they are.
Both my husband and I wanted a boy. I wasn't sure what I'd do with a daughter. What if she asked for a Barbie? I would have been like, 'Honey, we don't support Barbie because she isn't an accurate depiction of a woman's body.'
You need to be emotionally ready for a baby, and the best way to do that is to clean skeletons from your own closest. Deal with the baggage of your childhood, or you'll just pass it on to your kid.
I think letting babies cry it out is barbaric. Why would parenting stop when it's dark outside? You can't expect a baby to know that he's supposed to sleep just because we want to go to bed.
I have no interest in a guy who doesn't know the right end of a screwdriver.
When Finley gets his vaccinations, it kills me, and you can't protect yourself from that. My heart is being ripped out with every shot. It's a deeper level of emotion that I wasn't prepared to feel, but it's completely amazing. It has opened me up both as a person and as an actress. Everything has a deeper meaning now.
At this point, I can almost never see myself saying no to a con or a 'Charmed' reunion, because it's so important to so many people I've already met personally.
In between my first and second child, Pilates helped my body a lot.
I was a vegetarian through many of my teen years and easily revert back to that occasionally, but my immune system is usually happier with a bit of real meat.
Beets just aren't my thing. I can't get into them.
A lot of my snacks are healthy. I love things like hummus, carrots, and celery, but I will never give up potato chips.
In this industry there's this ridiculous connotation with women shows that's it's got to be difficult, and it's not true.
My husband is very supportive - he wants me to work but understands I also want to be with the kids.
Life as an only child can be a bit lonely, and when I had Finley, I decided that if I could give him a big family, I wanted to as much as possible.
