A Day on the Set

The day we visited the set, we watched a scene being shot by Brigid (Pamela) in which she’s having a rough day and unloading groceries, muttering under her breath while her kids are playing at the kitchen table. It's amazing seeing what goes on behind creating the perfect mood and shot. We watched them run through the scenes dozens of times utilizing different camera angles each time. It was phenomenal. The two kids at the table never wavered. What tremendous little professionals they are. I can't imagine our kids doing anything over that many times without getting bored.

Here are some pictures from our day on set...wish you'd been there. It was a blast!



We had a great time visiting the costume trailers. Because they have to shoot the scenes over so many times, they have multiples of every costume in case someone spills or snags. They shop for the clothes in many of the same places we all do. There were labels there from TJ Maxx, Target, JC Penney and others. The costume designers did tell us that some of the actor's personality will shine through in little details.



Our spouses were absolutely enamored with the Craft Table. Non-stop food all day long! We were on set rather early, so I think everyone's favorite was the homemade granola and cold Starbuckcs Frappuccinos.




Without giving too much away, I will tell you that they even built a set to look like Iraq.

I have to run to get ready for tonight's viewing party. Don't forget the second season premieres tonight at 10PM EST on Lifetime. Can't wait to see who survived the blast!

Check back in a few days for more pictures.
