    But one of her coolest jobs? Being a mom!

    She rarely shares pics of her kids to protect their privacy, but she posted the sweetest video on Instagram to celebrate her son's birthday.

    "Happy 2nd birthday to my son Spencer, who is the human personification of a hug. I can’t describe the intense joy it is to be your mom," she wrote in the caption.

    "You remind this old cynical lady that the world is full of wonder, and fun can be found in the most mundane places."

    But my favorite comment came from artist Julia S. Powell, who compared Spencer to a golden retriever and said it's the "highest compliment" one can give. Agreed!
