AKA: What adjustments have been made in your household aſter the birth of Hattie? Are their plans for any more children?
We haven’t really made any major adjustments with Hattie. She
fits in so well. Since we brought her home from the hospital we’ve all five been sleeping in same room. She’s in a cradle next to my bedside. Liam and Stella made a bed fort on the other side of the bed. Tese first few weeks they really wanted to be a part of her life and love helping out with middle of the night feedings. We make it a family feeding. It’s really sweet and so important to include them in everything right now. We would love a 4th child eventually, but right now it’s Hattie time.
AKA: Te Tori Spelling from the days of 90210 seems very different from the woman you are today. If you could go back and give yourself some advice then, what would you say?
If I could go back and tell the 90210 me something, it would be “Don’t worry and enjoy the ride! You’ll find your happy ending!!” Because I sure did! In my 20’s though I spent so much time worrying about never finding true love and dating the wrong guys.
AKA: Liam, Stella and Hattie are all so adorable! Obviously Hattie is too young to tell, but what characteristics does each of the other two have of yourself or Dean’s?
Well Liam looks exactly like me. Stella looks exactly like Dean. At first we thought Hattie looked just like Stella but now she’s looking like a perfect blend of Liam and Stella. Liam is a natural born

entertainer. He’s very funny and has Dean’s temper,haha! Stella is very sweet and sensitive and isn’t good at expressing her feelings just like me!
AKA: What’s your favorite place to take your kids? Why?
We love taking the kids to the beach. We can play together as a family and craſt and hang out. It’s great! We all want to learn to surf together when the kids get a little older. We also love being backyard farmers together. We tend to our animals (2 goats, 1 pig, 2 miniature horses, 5 rabbits, and 9 chickens), collect eggs, plant and garden, and do a lot of cooking together. Te kids love it! We also take the kids to our local farmers marketweekly!
AKA: On a night out with family what would you be wearing and doing?
On a night out with family we usually have an early family dinner and then go see a movie or go get frozen yogurt. As a family we love sushi night! Leggings are the new jean. Tey are chic and comfortable. I like to pair them with flats. Plus Stella and I love semi matching our outfits. And now we have Hattie to do that with too. Te three of us already have matching Jeggings!
AKA: While filming a reality TV show in your home, Paparazzi on the prowl and small children to keep up with, how do you and Dean find time for just the two of you? What are your favorite things to do as a couple?
Dean and I are total homebodies. We love to get cozy in bed, order in Chinese food, and watch a scary movie. Tat’s our ideal date night! We also love cooking together. We are both foodies and Dean is in culinary school so he is an amazing chef!
