Today, Daycare, a short film I wrote, produced, co-directed and, of course, acted in, premiered at the NYLA International Film Festival at The Complex Theater in Santa Monica!! (check it out on my IGTV channel!) I am so humbled and so proud of all of the work that went into creating this, and so honored that someone else saw it and decided it was worthy to be part of this film festival! I couldn't make it to the screening, though, because I'm on set for another film this we

I was raised in a conservative, New England family with a lot of structure and rules about right and wrong. Seriously, I was homeschooled so I wouldn't be "tainted by the worldliness of non-believers". And you'd better believe there was a chain of command for everything from how the dishwasher got loaded to what kind of books I was allowed to read for fun after my schoolwork was done.

I spent TWENTY MINUTES and even enlisted the help of my roommate in finding them. I was late for a client and frantic and thought I had surely lost my mind this time. They eventually turned up in a tiny l

When I first became pregnant with Cali, I remember a lot of people told me what I would and wouldn't be able to do as a Mom. My acting teacher told me there was no way I could have a baby now, that I was only in the beginning of my career and this would ruin my chances of catching a break.

I'm back! Thanks for dropping by! It has been a long time since I felt I had the time or energy to write or even knew what I wanted to say. But let me tell you, I have been LIVING. And I've realized that no one really knows what they are saying (especially not the most powerful and influential of us *ahem* rhymes with crump *ahem*). But I do have my own unique perspective on this crazy world we live in and I want to share it with you! If you are into #momlife, especiall
