Yesterday, Tony wrapped season one of 'School of Rock.' I can’t believe it. The past few months flew by, it feels like they just started a few weeks ago. We went out for an impromptu date last night to celebrate with sushi and movie ('San Andreas,' funniest movie of the year, we loved every minute) - and in the car ride, we were both saying that it still doesn’t feel real. I remember so vividly Tony going for a run at Runyon Canyon, and his team calling and telling me to go find him it was so important they speak to him immediately, and him running home just as I was about to drive out in the middle of rush hour to search for him dodging cars on Laurel Canyon Boulevard and tell him to get in. He called them back, and put it on speaker phone so I could be a part of the moment, too. They told him he booked the role, and I started sobbing...View Article

I just got home from Lake Tahoe, and am already ready to go back. Tony had to work, so I reverted back to childhood and flew solo with my parents and canine siblings, Rigel and Rosie, for a long weekend in the mountains. I packed my white pants, ready to kick off summer and spend the weekend reading wedding magazines with a bottle of champagne by the lake, but Mother Nature had other plans. It hailed and poured rain for the majority of the trip, so instead I sat inside the house in sweatpants and passed the time snacking (another one of my favorite activities). We're desperately in need of some rain in California (and, perhaps, a rain plan for our wedding), and it was still a beautiful, relaxing weekend. (Although I'm not sure my parents would categorize our 3-hour marathon planning sesh with the florist and wedding planner "relaxing." I, however, loved every minute.) Tony and I have been engaged for so long, it's hard to believe the wedding is actually almost here (a little over two months away, to be exact). We have most of the big decisions out of the way, so now it's just the fun details to figure out, like whether or not to put cherries on the mini milkshakes, or how long to run on the treadmill in order to fit into my dress. It made me overwhelmingly happy, walking around the house I love so much, deciding where to say our vows, where to put the cake, where to put the Porta Potties. I'm feeling rejuvenated and so very lucky that we'll be getting married there. Here are 25 examples of why this place is my favorite in the world...View Article
This Easter was the first year I spent the holiday without my parents. (We're a pretty tight-knit family. They visit at least once a month with their two giant beast-dogs, and usually stay for a week. The fact that Tony is not only cool with this, but says he likes it, is reason #13,305 I can't wait to marry him.) So, this year we decided to worship at the church of Hollywood douchebags, Soho House, with my brother Billy and godbrother Tommy. We ogled famous people, stuffed our faces with chocolate croissants, various meats, pasta, cake and ice cream (because it's not like I have to fit in a wedding dress in less than four months), and pulled over for this photo shoot on the way home (that's why the dress is wrinkled, and has a few butter stains. Sorry.) This is our favorite spot in our neighborhood in the hills, where we try to walk our dogs every day. I love it because of the view, and also because I have to walk past JC Chasez's house to get there and sometimes he says hi to me. Tony bought me this beautiful dress at the Topshop Coachella event we went to last week, and I can't wait to wear it to death this spring...View Article
For Tony's Valentine's Day gift this year, I decorated his "School of Rock" trailer and stocked it with his favorite things. I had so much fun putting it all together. Stepford Wife adrenaline was coursing through my veins. I was channeling Martha Stewart as my spirit animal. I even thought about cleaning the house when I got home (thank god that madness passed!) Here is the little home away from home I put together for Tony on the Paramount lot...View Article
This past Saturday, I got to be Tony’s date to Nickelodeon’s 2015 Kids' Choice Awards. The inner 12-year-old in me was freaking out. If you’d told that chubby girl with a bad perm and a love for denim skorts, feverishly dialing to vote for "Kenan & Kel," that she would one day be the arm candy of a Nickelodeon star on the orange carpet, she would have lost her mind.View Article
It's been a while since I've posted in the j'adorable things series, so here is a month's worth of happiness! Tony and I are looking forward to a weekend packed with exciting work events (he'll be live Tweeting the Hart of Dixie finale tonight, and keep an eye on Instagram tomorrow!) And, I will be going on my first camping trip as an adult. Stay tuned to hear how that pans out... Have the happiest weekend!View Article
Nickelodeon and Paramount announced the full cast of "School of Rock" today! Breanna Yde is set as Tomika, Jade Pettyjohn as Summer, Ricardo Hurtado as Freddy, Lance Lim as Zack, and Aidan Miner as Lawrence. And they are AWESOME. I actually met Jade a few years ago, when she starred in "Prodigal," a short film my roommate and friend Ben Grayson co-wrote and directed and I executive produced. (She was as talented, sweet and professional then as she is now.) All of the kids are talented, sweet and professional; Tony lucked out big time, landing this group for his co-stars. Every day he comes home from work, he’s bubbling about how great they are and how fun his job is. He loves working with them.View Article
