We were babies and we survived our 20s together — I don’t know how that’s possible, but we did. It’s crazy.” The How I Met Your Mother star went on to explain the two met at a friend’s birthday party.

Here are seven copper pennies. Please use them towards the milk.'”
“We have family that helps us out when we need it and just supports our girls emotionally as well,” she said.“Always, in every decision I make, my daughters come first, whether that’s a work decision or a life decision, and that’s the same with my husband, too,” she added. “They’re our top priority.”
