The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.

I always loved watching and reading family-friendly mysteries growing up, like the shows Murder, She Wrote and Nancy Drew, and am thrilled to be bringing these New York Times best-selling books right into your living room on the small screen.

I eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I eliminated most white sugar and dairy from my diet. It's done wonders for me not only in maintaining a healthy weight, but it's increased my energy levels and immunity.

I don't think balance is ever achieved in the full sense of the word.

Am I good enough to go to Heaven?

Because my faith is important to me and then they wrote it in that my character I would be playing would also be a Christian, many people would often assume now that I'm playing myself on television. And I'm not.

Raising children has given me a compassionate and gracious heart for all children and people, realizing we don't always know the circumstances behind closed doors.
