Caption : Every year since my mother passed, my TV mom has baked me cookies on my birthday. It doesn’t matter that I’m now older than she was when we first worked together, or that I’ve moved to Texas. She bakes them, and finds me, and does it from the bottom of her heart – and it always warms mine. Here’s to all the kind, wonderful, loving women on #internationalwomensday who – mothers or not – show the kind of love that lights up the lives of those around them. @thereal_marymargarethumes #dawsonscreek #cookies #moms #kindnessLikes : 299860

Caption : 13 years ago today we were told that the guy who had come to you in a dream and had given you a wedding date could marry us – that night – in the basement of the Kabbalah Centre in Tel Aviv… on what happened to be the exact date he’d given you in the dream. We rushed to get ready, had a bunch of people we didn’t know (and a few we did) dance around us, got ambushed by Israeli paparazzi afterwards, then ate at an outdoor Lebanese dive with plastic tablecloths and chairs and amazing food… and we were off. We’ve gone through success, tragedy, joy, stress, triumph, uncertainty, and through it all… these have been the best years of my life. Every moment. Because I have the BEST adventure partner. Our life is CRAZY right now. We might be crazier. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you. I celebrate you. I honor you. Thank you for everything you are, and everything you bring out in the people lucky enough to be loved by you. Much, much more to come ❤️Likes : 173383

Caption : 25 years ago today… my life changed. Not gradually, not day-by-day… instantly. It was the culmination of 5 years of auditioning, hundreds of hours on stage, thousands of hours traveling, preparing, dreaming, hoping, hearing “no”, and making up reasons to keep going. But the shift was overnight. There was life before becoming famous… and life after. Both have their benefits, both have their obstacles. I recall the biggest surprise being how little it thrilled me to be able to brag. For years, when extended family would ask, “You get anything, yet?” I LONGED to be able to say, “Yes!” and follow it up with something impressive. Then… when I’d finally gotten the thing that was plastered on so many billboards and bus stops that no one even HAD to ask… I recall wondering what hell I’d been pining for. It didn’t feel like a finish line. It wasn’t a salve for insecurities – it was a pressure cooker. Long-buried traumas didn’t disappear – they now lived closer to the surface. There were also some cool “pinch myself” moments along the way… but the truth is I didn’t know what to do with fame for the longest… because it took me a while to realize it wasn’t actually about me. It’s not a collection of energy… it’s a connection – one that requires circuitry to maintain. Its not an end game, it’s a tool – one that becomes burdensome if you can’t figure out its utility. And while I used to feel like it created a weird separation from people… now I feel like it connects me in a way I really appreciate. Which is all, really… a long-ass way of saying thank you. Thank you to everyone I’ve encountered as a result of this strange, wild, rocket ship ride, and to my fellow passengers who were strapped in alongside me… it’s good to know you. Makes me happy to see you all doing so well. Happy anniversary, guys. #dawsonscreekLikes : 129548

Caption : Thank you @arashjacob1 for this beautiful advice on integrating a new baby into the family. It’s such a subtle shift in approach, from: “stop – I need distance” to: “come here, let me bring you in on this.” But it’s a game-changer. ❤️ #parentingadvice #multiplekids #newbabyadvice #fatherhood #newbaby #parenting #inclusionLikes : 124461

Caption : Cannot BELIEVE it’s been 13 years… It feels like yesterday I was staring into your little bassinet in the hospital, beyond exhausted, but unable to close my eyes and stop looking at you – and realizing I’d never be able to communicate just how cool it was to have a little you… You expanded my heart and my soul’s capacity the second you came out in ways I could’ve never imagined. You taught me what love was in an instant. And you’ve led the way ever since. Thank you for being you. For your kindness that somehow surpasses even your coolness, for your drive, your creativity, your A stink-eye and your smart-ass sense of humor. And for still thinking I’m funny. I love you for everything you are, and everything I see you becoming. Humbled and honored to be your dad. And I’ll always be your #1 fan. Happy birthday, my TEENAGER 😳❤️Likes : 121566

Caption : My kids were very impressed with @jennaortega on @nbcsnl… so I decided to REALLY impress them by showing off what I did when I was only one year older than Jenna. Apparently… having done something cool does not make you cool. #lessonlearned It’s too bad they can’t stream the @catsthemusical skit we did (because of a music copyright issue). Then they would’ve REALLY been embarrassed to know me. 😎 #parenting #cooldad #saturdaynightlive #kids #wednesdayaddamsLikes : 119428

Caption : Two years ago today. We were done having kids. We’d “closed the birth portal”. And then you came kicking down the door, in your signature style. Because we needed you. And you knew it. Grateful every day for you, bubs. You’re a toy-throwing, football-loving little Texas dude, a class A snuggler, and getting to experience life from your point of view has made me fall in love with the world in a whole new way. I love reading to you. I love watching all your decisions and agendas. And your belly laughs might just be the best thing in the universe. Thank you for teaching me what it is to live life with unapologetic joy, and hopeful abandon. Can we maybe try sleeping through the night night, now? The whole night? Like, ALL the way through? 🙏 Love you forever, Bubba ❤️Likes : 102464

It costs focus, sleep, time and money… You give up long brunches, watching the game live, crashing early, sleeping in, a clean house, clean yard, a clutter-free garage… You surrender projects, jobs, vacations, hobbies, free time, food off your plate, and the expectation that anything will ever remain exactly where you put it. And you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Go figure that.. (Hint: You can’t. This is heart math ❤️And the better you get at it, the better you get at life.)

Only took me two years of school and 27 years of working in my industry… but @drewuniversity gave me an honorary Bachelor of Arts degree AND the honor of being the commencement speaker. SO great to see my old friends, professors, and roommate, and take my kids around such a special, beautiful campus that holds so many formative memories from another lifetime ago. Deeply humbled and grateful to have closed a loop I hadn’t even realized needed closer. Life is crazy… and beautiful. #graduate #graduated #drewuniversityLikes : 84942

Caption : Disabling comments on this one because the people debating should be the CANDIDATES ❤️ #NoDebateNoDemocracy #DNC #democraticprimary This post seems to have resonated in ways I hadn’t quite anticipated, so a few thoughts: I’ve overseen comment sections on this page that have made me proud to know y’all. But when it comes to politics… I’ve also seen it get emotional. In a toxic way. Which I get. But I didn’t want to suck anyone (least of all myself) into checking a comment section all day that wasn’t ultimately going to be healthy or useful. And like I said, WE shouldn’t be debating (at least on here) the candidates should be. Second: We’re all in this together. I’m simply pro-democratic process. I hope the RNC has a debate as well. Debates take decisions and discussions out of the back rooms and into our living rooms, and it’s important to allow new ideas to come to the forefront. Third: I’ve been accused of being very hard on ‘ol Joe. I’m just looking at a guy who has aged a lot since that fantastic Colbert appearance he made the year he decided NOT to run. The change is undeniable. Question is: Is the man up to the task? To be one of two choices for possibly the most demanding, most important job in the world? It is OUR job to determine this. And to do that, we need more than just a press conference where he gets the questions in advance. I’ll cop to letting some of my anger come through upon finding out just how incapacitated Sen Diane Feinstein is, for how long it’s been going on, and how many steps were taken to hide it from voters. But mental acuity is a valid concern – one that, btw, could be erased by a strong debate performance. And… if standing up for your record, addressing ideas from within your own party, and sharing your vision for the future is going to HURT you? It begs the question: Are you REALLY the strongest candidate? But it any case… this is a decision to be made by US. Thank you to everyone who reached out in support ❤️Likes : 79331

Caption : Make no mistake: This strike SUCKS for us. On the heels of a shut-down, with both SAG/AFTRA and the WGA striking at once?? The last time this happened, the SAG president was an actor named Ronald Reagan. But do you know how many of us voted to authorize it? 98% Because we know the stakes. @deadline quoted an anonymous source saying the studios’ goal was to starve us out. To wait until writers start losing their “homes and apartments.” Now, there are always at least two sides to every negotiation… and some of these issues don’t have obvious, simple solves… but for the sake of every actor, writer, crew member, caterer, designer, hair, makeup, wardrobe, builder, entertainment publication, photographer, publicist, agent, manager, lawyer, teamster, editor, stunt team, intern, soundstage janitor and their families… Please have some compassion for just how many lives you effect “below the line.” These two unions have always existed to protect the artists you HAVEN’T heard of – yet. But this time around, the future of these very professions is at stake. This effects all of us. Thank you for listening ❤️ #sag #sagaftra #wga #wgastrike #sagstrike #strike #aiLikes : 78892

Caption : I used to say that vacations with kids are vacations FOR kids – not for you. Because they require a certain surrender of your own agenda, your own comforts, even your own desires. But it struck me today, as @vanderkimberly and I were managing more tiny humans than I’d previously thought possible… that any excuse for single-minded focus on those you love most really IS a vacation: From all the stresses and “priorities”constantly nipping at the back of my consciousness, vying for my attention. It make sense if you don’t think about it too much. But it did make me happy today. #parenting #parenthood #optimism #vacationLikes : 75991

Caption : 14 years… I always say it doesn’t feel like that long. You always say it does 😂 Nothing could have prepared us for this past year – except perhaps the previous 12. Thank you for being the most incredible partner. You’ve broken me open in spots I didn’t even know were locked, and taught me how to receive more love than I thought possible. In the past, I feel like you’ve always set the pace for our co-evolution, but this year, as I’ve gone through my own radical transformation, you’ve tirelessly put in the work and somehow managed to match it. Thank you for your courage, your strength, your vulnerability and your tenderness. I’m thrilled and grateful to get to do this life with you. And now… let’s have a laugh. I love you beyond. Happy anniversary. Thank you for being in the world. ❤️Likes : 72564

Caption : Woke up at 4:30 am with anxiety. Well, actually – a tiny human woke me up, and after helping her to the bathroom, that’s when the anxiety kicked in. In the middle of our vacation. I see the divide. I feel the fear. And I know an Instagram post isn’t going to solve it for anybody. But this story keeps popping into my head, so I’ll share it: In my early twenties, right after getting famous, someone contacted me through my reps and said a high school teacher of mine had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and wanted to speak with me. Which was odd, because I’d had that teacher for literally one class – not a semester – just a single class for a subject I ended up not taking. I got on the phone with her, and after a few awkward pleasantries, she asked why I’d requested the call. Confused, I said I’d been told she’d asked for it. Turns out, no. So then we took it upon ourselves to figure out a deeper reason why this had happened. And as I listened to her pause for a moment to speak with a young daughter she knew she’d never see grow up, I naively asked if her ordeal had revealed any truth she wanted to share. After a fairly dubious pause, she said this (and I’m paraphrasing): If you think of life as a circle, and you’re in the middle of it, you get to choose what part of the circle you move towards. What energies you want to move into. All of it still exists, of course, and there’s no use denying that it does… but the question of where you want to spend your energy – and which reality you wish to experience more of – is up to you. Much more than we realize. Those words have always stuck with me. Sharing them in honor of her, in the hope they find whoever else might need them today. And, also… because I couldn’t do a flip off a log and NOT post it, amiright? 😇 Wishing you all health and joy today…Likes : 70450

Caption : 46 trips around the sun… I’ve been feeling into a new relationship with time, lately. I used to try to bend it to my will: Speed it up, squeeze more into it, short cut it. Or panic at its passing. Or just ignore it altogether. But recently, I’ve found myself happier the more I’m in touch with reverence, and deference to time. Yes, it CAN be stretched. It can fly… But this planet, this dimension, is governed by time: Trees grow at their pace. The earth spins at a near constant. And the more reverence I can find for all of it, the more life becomes a living prayer of appreciation. For life. For nature. For the great cosmic mystery of which we can sometimes can catch the edges. And the more I deference I can summon to the lessons earned only in time… the healthier relationship I have with miracles. And the easier it becomes to root in the present, open to the perfection of a process I was never meant to control.

Caption : I believe it’s healthy to dress up and play make-believe every once in a while. To step into someone else’s shoes and dance within new energetics. Even if you’re not insane enough to try to make a career out of acting, I personally believe everyone can benefit from trying on a different personality for a night. As for the candy? As parents, we’re trying to upgrade. I’ve had some success offering my kids cash for their stash (an offer, for the record, I would NOT have taken as a kid 😂) But with everything going on right now… a night of fantasy was just what we needed. #happyhalloween everyone!

Caption : I’m convinced our children pick us. They come on their own timetable, with their own unique personalities, strengths, and passions… And we can’t “mold” them. Definitely can’t control them. And while we can try to set an example, at the end of the day… All we can really do is steward them. And their gifts. Protect them, nurture them, love them, teach them what we think we know… and let them curate what becomes theirs. Because, for reasons I can’t prove and will never fully understand… they chose us. With all our faults and shortcomings and unanswered questions, they decided WE would be the perfect obstacle course and guardian of their soul’s evolution. And all we can do… is the best we can do. Sending love to all the parents out there who are really, really trying ❤️Likes : 62625

And I salute you. May we all find the energy to appreciate the victories and the capacity to forgive ourselves along the way. #happyfathersdayLikes : 62566

Caption : #Egypt… With all my vocabulary, “Wow,” is what fell out of my mouth most of the time. We were gifted a magical experience, one I’m still processing – and might be for the rest of my life. The kids were rock stars, my friends became brothers, and despite all the travel and time zone crossing and early-morning alarms, I feel re-charged. I’d anticipated a metaphysical element to the trip, but I was caught off-gaurd at just how deeply I felt the spiritual resonance of all these temples. I mean, they are “temples”, after all (duh), but whatever assumptions I had about these otherworldly structures being “antiquities” faded as soon as I stepped into them. These were holy places, built to connect to the divine as best they understood it at the time. I left with reverence and awe – my eyes, heart, and soul expanded. Deepest thanks to everyone who made it possible. @matiasgustavodestefano #travel #travelwithkids #spirituality #spiritualawakeningsLikes : 58823
