Jillian rocked a messy bun, dark circles under her eyes and a Starbucks coffee. She also held a baby doll and had a toddler hanging off her leg.

\"I told her to smile in one [picture] and she said 'I'm happy, but I'm a tired mom, so I have to keep this look so I don't break character,\" Hartsock said. \"I think that's what it comes down to, being a mom is so much work but it has these little rewarding moments during the day that make it all worth it.\"
