I was two years old when my mom put me in mommy and me classes. I always had a lot of energy so it was the perfect fit!

I've always been homeschooled so doing it on set is kind of the same thing. My mom makes it very interactive - we'll get a book on chocolate and learn how to make it or she will buy antique items. I love military history the mechanics and strategy of it.

As a mom I understand how important it is to ensure kids start their day right and always make sure my kids have a nutritious breakfast. One in five U.S. children live in homes where food is not always available which is why I partnered with Kellogg's on their 'Share Your Breakfast' campaign which provide breakfasts to kids in need.

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

My mom always made sure I lived my life as a regular kid.

I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.

I was home-schooled was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one and I never threw hissy fits.

I've always wanted to be an actress ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.

A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.

When I was a kid and got in trouble I'd always say Mom I'm in trouble. Well Mom I'm in trouble.
