Congratulations on so much, the successful Lifetime series Army Wives and your expanded family! It’s hard to believe Ronan is going to be 1 this summer already (I’m sure you can’t either).
Its crazy! I was JUST pregnant. Now he's crawling.. walking soon I'm sure!
As most of us M.O.M’s struggle with being a working parent, was it harder for you to go back to work after you had Gemma or the second time around with Ronan? Any insight in how you prepare for the first day back at work with a baby?
I think it's always a hard thing to try and strike a balance between work & family. One hand, we want a break from the kids so we can come back with a fresh perspective but then the second we part with them, we miss them! I think just reminding myself that it's good for him AND for me to have a little break, to have someone else watch him... that helps!
What’s a typical day like for you and the family these days with two kids and filming? Are you a planner or just ‘wing it’ with schedules?
On the weekends we usually just wing it. We usually have a general idea like bike ride in the neighborhood & then it either happens in the morning or afternoon or Saturday or Sunday... nothing too definite! I try to leave time for the kids to just do what they want - art projects or swimming or whatever they want! We love going to my mom & step-dads house on the weekends too. They moved to Charleston to be closer to us, so we love spending time there.
So, what do you love about playing Denise Sherwood on Lifetimes’ Army Wives? Does this season have any surprises for you or the other Army Wives?
I love so much about Denise Sherwood! I especially love how much she's grown! She's been through so much and changed (for the better as a person, as wife, even as a mother despite her loss). She's certainly had enough surprises to last a lifetime! But there is never a shortage of exciting realistic drama on our show!
With actress, mother, philanthropist and producer on your M.O.M resume, what is your secret to managing it all? Is there anything else you might be interesting in throwing into the mix or have you accomplished what you’ve dreamed?
I've never "accomplished everything." I have goals & reach those & make new ones! That's what life is all about! I'm so proud to add producer to my resume. Actress, mom, philanthropist have always been on it & I continue adding to that. I'd like to continue finding great stories to tell & making those movies.
Do you have a favorite quote or ‘go to’ guide/site for being a M.O.M
My friends! I have some of the BEST multitasking hard working moms ever!! If ever in doubt, I call them!! For advice, for recipes...for inspiration!
Please share with us 3 of your favorite M.O.Ments (mastering multitasking
with kids)
I will say it was pretty hilarious one morning after working all night on Last Man Standing (Ronan was about 10 weeks old) I'd spent the whole night doing a huge fight scene/stunt work and at 6am on the drive back to the hotel, I was pumping milk (I was still nursing!), while I was learning my lines for the next day. That was exciting
Another fun one: feeding the baby while I cooked dinner for my daughter Gemma while my husband Adam was out of town & did a conference call on a project!
When I was getting ready to film "Last Man Standing," I had Ronan in a sling, was on the treadmill and was working on my script for that days work.never a dull moment! :)
