Motherhood in Hollywood

As I sit here, days away from an epic milestone of being married for 20 years, I have to pinch myself. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Chris Brooker. After being married for 20 years, people ask me all the time how we “make it work” or “what’s your secret” and I usually just give the same response: respect, laughter and a lot prayer.

Want to know what to watch in 2021? We have some tips! Listen, 2020 was a doozy of a year to say the least.

I am embarrassed to admit that I am one of those weirdos that has never seen “High School Musical.” That is until I saw the most amazing woman on TikTok just slaaayyying her dance moves. I did the completely normal thing and Googled her and found out that KayCee Stroh played Martha Cox in all of the “High School Musical” movies.
