Meester said she's had such a great time filming on set that she doesn't consider it work.

\"It's really nice to hang out with kids and then everybody is on set having so much fun,\" she explained. \"[It] also has a lot of heart so really wonderful relationships and exploring the more heartfelt, serious side of single parenting, which I think we kind of pepper in there, hopefully, nicely and with a lot of laughs.\"
