What a little cutie! Melissa Joan Hart and her 3-year-old son Mason, with a bruised eye and his little doll, were seen grocery shopping at the Whole Foods grocery store in Sherman Oaks, California on Monday (June 8).

The day before, Melissa was photographed at the 20th annual A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival sponsored by Disney with her youngest son, 14-month-old Braydon.

As the oldest of eight kids, actress Melissa Joan Hart has always wanted a big, boisterous family of her own. But she’s the first to admit that being a mom isn’t always easy! Melissa, 32, who has kids Mason, 3, and Brady, almost 1, with husband Mark Wilkerson, recently chatted to Parents about some of the challenges of motherhood – like potty training, losing the baby weight and learning to listen to her Mommy instincts. On wanting more kids: “Since I was little, I knew that I wanted to have children. I'm the oldest of eight kids, and I have always liked the idea of a big family. I love my siblings, and I loved growing up with all of them. Having a big family has always been very important to me, and I would hate for my kids to not be able to experience that. Mark and I would like to have more eventually.” On losing the baby weight: “I wasn't in any hurry to lose the pregnancy weight. I did lose it, but only once I put my mind to it. I am lucky to have really good genes; my mom is super-skinny after having all of us. I found that after having Mason, as soon as I stopped breastfeeding it was easier to drop the extra pounds.

I was also chasing around a very active 2-year-old, which meant constant calorie burning.”
