Hey @Citi! My dream vacay is to travel around the Mediterranean via kayak and eat all the local goodies! Let’s make it happen! #ShareYourDream #Sweepstakes
5yo reminiscing like “remember when...” yeah kid, that was 2 hours ago
I’m glad I set boundaries w/ 5yo early on about how he should only interrupt mommy’s WFH video calls for an emergency. To date, emergencies have been: “I need help wiping,” “I can’t find the remote,” and “my tummy feels hungry”
The people who drink sparkling water straight out of a can are the same people who enjoyed putting a 9v battery on their tongues
Thanks, every company I have ever given my email to... now I have an easy way to unsubscribe to everything in one location. #coronapocalypse #COVID
Why would they make the titular heroes of a kids show so hard to say for a preschooler? If I have to correct PJ Match one more time... @disneyplus @PJMasks #watchhowisayit
When I was learning to cook for myself, @altonbrown was the most trusted cook and food professional in my life. Now to see all of the Good Eats episodes remastered and now-Alton contradicting his 1999 self is absolutely blowing my mind and making me doubt all my technique
Me to 4yo: Don’t play with guns! Also me: here’s a Star Wars fighter jet with laser cannons!! Parenting is just full of opportunities to be a hypocrite.
Me: stop that! #Santa is watching and he’s not going to bring you a present if you aren’t being nice. 4yo: I don’t need Santa presents. I have birthday presents. #smartass
The kid is asleep. Hubs and I are on different devices, sitting next to each other, streaming Disney+ content. So this is love. #DisneyPlus #Mandalorian #Cinderella #marriage
4yo asked me to read his book. Told him to try telling the story from the pictures. He opens the book and says “Chase is on the case!” I looked at him so proudly then he turns the page and says “bird.” And turns the page again. So much for that...
Put on a winter coat, stuck my hand in the pocket and found a cheese stick wrapper. Ugh, how long has that been there?!? #momlife #needtodryclean #boymom #mightalsobelongtohubby

Me: 1 more min 3yo: 3 more! Me: 2 3yo: we’re fighting mommy! Me: No, we’re negotiating. 3yo: Yeah! We’re ne-go-ti-um... no, we’re flighting...
Just rediscovered @plainwhitets Stop album and high school me is having a moment #perfectforyou #teenangst #sodramatic

You know what’s terrible? Jokes told by a 3yo. 3: peanut butter crackers, peanut butter crackers! (Uncontrollable laughter) Me: so, peanut butter is the punchline? 3: AND JELLY! (More uncontrollable laughter and some spit)
Driving on local roads. 3yo: Whoooa! Me: (panicking) what?!? 3yo: Don’t drive so fast, we’re gonna crash! Me: I’m going 20, that’s pretty slow. 3yo: Then you aren’t gonna win. Speed up mommy! #parenting #momlife
You bought a lottery ticket huh? Rushed out there and grabbed one in hopes it could make your life better? Even though your one ticket might not win, you did it anyway cause it’s worth a shot, right? So did you vote?
Me: ok, we’re going home in 5 mins. 2yo: no, 2 mins. Me: um, sure. 2 mins. Let’s hope his counting and negotiating skills stay this way for a while
2yo requested tacos for dinner, for the 3x this week. <sheds tear> I raised him right #tacolife

Ultimate #momstatus : holding a half eaten taco in your purse because the 2yo didn’t want to finish it, but also didn’t want to toss it. Happy Mother’s Day, all!
