“I'm definitely not the person who's gonna sit anywhere and tell you that home birth is the only way to have a baby because I don't believe that. But I do think the only way to have a baby is where you feel great about your birth.”

“I grew up with three kids in the family, and it's definitely a little extra tricky having that third kid.”

“I think that as my kids grow up and hit milestones that spark emotion for myself in my own history, it will always trigger personal feelings from those times - whether good or bad - and I definitely want to develop the tools I need to keep the immediacy of those negative emotions in the past.”

“Kids get sick in preschool. A lot. Make sure that your kids are getting all the immune boosting they can to fight the germs!”

“My parents have always said, 'You'll be so unhappy if you're no more than your career, that it's important to get out there and do things other than just your career.'”

“New motherhood is such a vulnerable and powerful time, but it's also really hard.”

“If an actor is bored, then they are boring to an audience. I definitely don't want to ever be that.”

“My big thing is I think women should birth their babies, as long as they're healthy and their doctor says it's OK, however they want, whether that means in the hospital with no drugs, at home with an epidural, elective C-section, whatever.”

“One of my biggest goals as a mom is to be a pillar of strength for my children - to envelop them in love and address every emotion, but also to have them be absolutely sure that I can protect them in any situation.”

“Marriage is a journey. It's hills and valleys.”

“One thing I've learned is that preschool teachers really have seen it all - and they can be a wealth of information! If you have any questions about a certain behavioral hurdle with your child or if you have a question about a certain age or phase, ask them!”

“The great thing about acting is that you get to be a lot of different things in one lifetime. You get to explore different personalities and characters.”

“I'm realizing that my childhood is not my daughter's, that I can't heal myself by any actions I take with her - and that it's definitely time for me to go back to my own childhood... with my therapist.”

“I love Dermaquest tinted SPF.”

“Parenthood is so wild in its ability to put a mirror directly in your face and force you to look at yourself long and hard. What a challenge this is, but also what an exhilarating gift.”

“I actually wanted to be an astronaut, but I don't have a mathematical brain.”

“Mom-shaming drives me crazy.”

“A baby is such a huge change for everyone, so acknowledge that. It's hard, and you don't have to be great at everything right away.”

“Do not judge other moms on how they raise their children.”

“My priority is keeping my skin looking great - perfect skin is the best beauty weapon.”
