So my dog is too good to play ‘fetch’ but apparently she’s not too good to play ‘pop every one of the kids’ toy balls’ 😑😂🐶 Big-dog owners, what’s the most expensive (or hilarious) thing your fluffball has destroyed lately? #DogMom #FluffballLife #MomLife

Had to get the car maintained, so my husband rented a big pickup truck “for the boys” (and him) to play with. Now he just has to come up with a reason to buy all the wood from Lowe’s 😂🛻🔨 #MomLife #MarriageHumor #FamilyFirst

My husband and 2-year-old were playing a very spirited game of catch. The ball bounced over to our 1-year-old… who proceeded to pick it up and waddle off with it. I guess he thought they were too loud 😂👶 #MomLife #BabyMilestones #SiblingLove #FamilyFirst

Just watching my husband try to build a baby gate… with one baby trying to climb it, the other trying to climb him, and the dog licking his face. Of course I’ll help him… I just had to finish laughing at our life in a nutshell first 😂👶🐶 #MomLife #ParentingHumor

I can’t think of anything that cures laziness better than having kids. Even on half the sleep I’m twice as productive as I used to be… 😂👶 Did this happen to anyone else (whether you wanted it to or not)? #MomLife #ParentingHumor #FamilyFirst

One fun thing about living with in-laws: watching goofy things on their YouTube accounts and completely messing up their algorithm 😉😂 Multigenerational families, what’s the funniest (or most chaotic) perk of sharing a roof? #MomLife #MulticulturalFamily #FamilyFirst

Another funny thing about living with my in-laws and our teeny boys… No one can use the bathroom without a little guy banging on the door and/or loudly voicing their objections. No one 😂 #MomLife #MulticulturalFamily #FamilyFirst

Just a heads up to any parent thinking about taking their small kids to a Hibachi restaurant…
There’s a slight possibility that the wall of fire briefly erupting at the table will be the most terrifying thing they’ve ever seen… 🤦‍♀️😅

I was sitting next to my 1-year-old while he was napping. He suddenly sat up, looked at me, and I said “Well hello pudgy wudgy!” He just plopped right back down. So I guess I have to say that every time now 😉😂 #MomLife #BabyMilestones #ParentingHumor

My oldest was the first baby I ever held. I don’t ever remember being sure if I wanted kids. So to anyone out there who feels similarly: rest assured. It is absolutely worth doing, and they will absolutely love you. ❤️👶 #FamilyStories #Parenting #JoyOfMotherhood

Well if there’s a better cure for anxiety than sitting outside playing in the sandbox with my boys on a breezy day… then I sure haven’t found it 🥰 #MomLife #FamilyFirst #TimelessValues

Typical boy morning 😂 Grandpa finds a worm → gives it to 2-year-old. 1-year-old waddles over, grabs big brother’s shirt to steady himself… which somehow results in 2-year-old slapping me in the face with said worm 🪱🥴 #MomLife #ToddlerLife #ParentingHumor #FamilyFirst

Just wanted to announce that my 1-year-old has started sticking his little hand under the door whenever someone is using the bathroom… Like a cat 😂 (P.S. We don’t have a cat.) Anyone else’s toddler do this? #MomLife #ToddlerLife #ParentingHumor

A beautiful day in boy land today 😂 My 1-year-old played in his first muddy puddle… and my 2-year-old took “hose off” duty. Thank you, Texas heat 🥵 Any other boy parent stories? #MomLife #ToddlerLife #ParentingHumor #BoyMom
