With things like actress, producer, entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two on her resume, there’s no reason to explain why we’re impressed with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
She’s most recognized for her role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, obviously, but we also loved her in Cruel Intentions and All My Children. And Gellar is anything but “just” a talented actress.
She just celebrated 13 years of marriage to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. (they met on the set of I know What You Did Last Summer), whom she has two adorable children with:Charlotte Grace, 5, and Rocky James, 2.
She also recently started a company, alongside friends Gia Russo and Galit Laibow, called Foodstirs, which encourages busy parents to order fun, easy-to-make baking kits so they can create everlasting memories with their children.
For this week’s Mom Crush Monday, we’re celebrating Sarah Michelle Gellar and getting her take on family, baking, and so much more.
