This is past on-set selfie me hoping that future you’s will tune into #CrashingThroughTheSnow premiering this Sat, July 10th @ 9pm/8c on @hallmarkchannel! It’s got winter activities galore! Some impressive pratfall stylings by the amazing @theamyacker, helicopter piloting by the oh-so charming @thewarrenchristie, spit-take-through-your-nose-worthy wisecracking by the adorkable @mrkristianbruun and many befuddled attempts to perfect Christmas by yours truly. Not to mention the two gals I had the most fun on set with eating too much prop candy @mylavolk and @summerhhowell #ChristmasInJuly #winningchristmas #butitsnotacompetition #blendedfamily #aspen #matchingpjs #hallmarkchristmasmovies

It’s premiere day for “It Takes A Christmas Village” in select Landmark theatres across Canada! I’m having so much fun today talking about making this movie with my co-star and director Corey Sevier. I hope you have a chance to see it either today at the cinema or from the comfort of home once it lands on the Superchannel Heart & Home. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…! 🎄✨
We can make the holidays brighter and better together for foster youth! In the 12 days leading up to my birthday 🥳 , I’m raising funds for @togetherwerise a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is committed to improving the lives of children in foster care. Please consider donating to my campaign (link in bio) and check out all of the amazing initiatives that help more than 200k kids annually including the largest scholarship fund for foster youth. https://fundraise.togetherwerise.org/campaign/my-make-the-holidays-bright-campaign/ #fosterlove #happyholidays #happybirthday #fosteryouth #tistheseason #giving
Talk about a wild ride! Here are some BTS shots (📸 @davinophotostudio ) from last night’s episode of @swatcbs. This cast and crew works hard to bring weekly doses of high octane entertainment to your screens at home…and also know how to have fun while doing it! A huge thank you to @swatwriters and @michaelgemballa for creating this kick-ass return arc for “Ally”. When you make being bad this fun, who wants to be good?! Shout-out to the leader of said kick-assery, director #johnterlesky! And feeling pretty lucky I got to share the screen again with scene partner and partner-in-crime, well fighting crime — @davidbradleylim along with @shemarfmoore and the amazing cast of S.W.A.T. 🔥🙌🏼🔥
Put on some mascara for my cute post shot gram and then cried it ALL off on the drive to my appt out of anticipation and gratitude listening to a staticky radio play of Uptown Funk. Marveling at modern medical science and the courage and grit of healthcare workers around the world for the last year and a 1/2. Thank you everyone who’s working towards herd immunity. I am so darn excited for HUGS!! This girl is hitting’ her hallelujah (wooh!) #stylin #wildin #livinitupinthecity #butnotforanother2weeks #andmasksarestillcool #uptownfunk #pfizer #grateful

So often children in foster care are left feeling unseen, unheard and unimportant. The pandemic has taken a particular toll mentally and emotionally on vulnerable youth in the foster care system due to lengthy suspensions of crucial services like therapy or even the opportunity to visit siblings who may be placed in other homes. That’s why this holiday season I’m shining a light on ways to uplift, support and raise awareness for children here in L.A. County and across the country who are waiting to find an adoptive family. I recently had the chance to talk with @abc7veronica @abc7la news about my experience volunteering for The Heart Gallery LA. I’m one of many photographers like longtime volunteer @luwinphoto (thanks for the behind-the-scenes shots!) who endeavor to capture the individuality, spirit and dignity of foster youth – bright, curious and phenomenal climbers of trees like Jaxon – who are so deserving of loving, permanent homes. To find out more about the journey of these foster kids tune into the upcoming special Finding Family: A Long Road Home on Sat 12/11 @ 10:30pm PST on ABC7 or see the ♥️ Gallery segment on www.ABC7.com/watch Chances are there’s a Heart Gallery in your city or state. I invite you to check them out as well as @heartgalleryla And to learn more about Jaxon, you can also find his profile on @raiseachild #letlovedefinefamily® #RaiseAchild #fosteringsaveslives #adoptachild #heartgallery #adoptla #goodnews #motherhood #fatherhood #fostercare #adoption
