Claire on Home and Family

Didn’t I say to look out for more updates? Last May, I got to do an amazing show on the Hallmark Channel called “Home & Family.” It was so much fun! I felt so special. It was hilarious. I got a trailer and a makeup artist! AND it was in the middle of Universal Studios, so we got to take a little golf cart ride and go to all of the studios. I couldn’t help but think how spectacular my life was. I got to do these amazing things while my friend was doing her finals. Read More
