The actress now starring in a spin-off of the show with the infamous zip code, 90210, shares with Working Mother how she balances a show biz life with baking with her girls, Isabella, 11, and Olivia, 10.

How was your whole experience with Full House and what did you do after the show ended?
It was wonderful being on a hit show and having a job for so many years. But the greatest thing about Full House was that it was a really fun job. I worked with great people. The cast was very funny and fun to be around. We formed our own bond and became a family—on camera and off. I was out of the spotlight for a while after Full House. I had my girls.

You’re now on 90210. What made you take this role? And what kind of factors were important in your decision to go back to work full-time?
I thought it was a good opportunity—90210 the first time around was really successful, and I thought, between the younger audience and the original, older 90210 audience, it was a recipe for success.

The other thing is that it shoots in California, and for me, it was the most important thing, because I really won’t work outside of the state of California. I certainly wouldn’t do it for a TV series, because I would not be away from my children. I couldn’t do that.

Tell me about your work schedule. Is it consistent? How does your schedule for filming 90210 impact your time with your children?
My schedule changes with episode-to-episode. It takes seven days to shoot one episode, so some days I’ll work one day an episode, some days I‘ll work two or three days an episode, but usually there’s enough down time for me to be with my girls.
