Fans adored seeing her with her lookalike mom and commented: "So cool your Mom is with you," and, "Such a fun experience for both of you! Hats off to you…Or should that be, Hats on?"

Dylan left her husband and her three children in New York for the brief visit, but is no doubt missing them already.

She recently revealed that while it's often chaos at home, she doesn't like being away from them.

In a candid social media post which sparked a huge reaction from her fans, Dylan shared an image of her husband, Brian, and their offspring and wrote: "This was the scene when I left home this morning. All smiles…everyone is happy to be awake."

However, Dylan then went on to reveal that all was not what it seemed. "Ollie acting like he wasn't awake from midnight to 3am. Rusty acting like he hasn't been awake since 3am. Calvin acting like he didn't come in at 5:45am. Bosco acting like she didn’t wake up just to step on me throughout the night. @fishlense's face says it all."

Dylan admitted she had never felt so exhausted and wrapped up her brutally honest social media message with another confession. 

"We're in it right now. If it's not one, it's the other one. Sleep is on short supply," she said. "I'm so tired I'm dizzy. 

"But no matter how tired and irritable I am, I couldn’t help but feel a little heartbreak leaving this morning. I miss them all the second I leave the house. That being said, I really do need a nap."
