My husband asked my kids to say why I’m a good mom and my 2yo said “you go down the slide” and honestly that might be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me. I do go down the slide. 😭

I wrote a poem. www.the-pom.com/p/on-mothers...

I relate to Reba because in the show she’s like “I’m a single mom who works too hard” but then her actual job is a part time dental office receptionist and she isn’t even good at it.

Every Mother’s Day there are posts that are like “Remember: all people are moms. This days for everyone. It’s not just for moms of human children. Fathers are moms. Moms of plants count, too. Aunts of golden retrievers are also moms. If you’ve ever owned a Beanie Baby you are a mom. Moms are anyone”

Went to a historic town from the 1700s with my family, while we were walking around my husband pointed out a flower to my kids and my 2yo goes “yes and there’s a ghost!” And I was like “what? There’s a ghost?” thinking I’d misheard. And she goes “yes! A ghost! Right there!” And pointed at nothing??

(Me whispering to my husband, who made me watch The Last of Us): Do you think that’s Frasier’s radio station?

My 4yo used my husbands phone to take photos at the aquarium and am I crazy or are these like…super good?

My almost 5yo wants his birthday party’s theme to specifically be “animals that live in and around tide pools” and I don’t know how to explain to him they def do not make party plates of that

Decided to do a short Substack essay every Friday about something that happened in my week of parenting. Free for now, so like and subscribe, baby!! open.substack.com/pub/clhubes/...

Everyone loves to tell new parents "you'll miss these days." Today for @mcsweeneys.net I talk this over with Marty McFly's mom and decide if, given a DeLorean, I'd go back in time to relive my kids' baby years. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-l...

Don’t listen to a single person who says the twos are terrible!!! Two year olds are the most perfect people on earth. From my mom lol

Star Wars: A New Pope

Murder mystery where one cardinal in the conclave is murdered and all the other cardinals have to figure it out…and not accidentally elect the murderer Pope

As a white mom I truly never even know the stuff I don’t have to think about that other moms do and I’m so glad @shanders.bsky.social is able to explain it so beautifully

I don’t agree with EVERYTHING in this piece bc unfortunately I am sometimes the parent playing at the park with my kids (I’m sorry!!! I like swinging!!!! Sue me!!!) but @sarahradz.bsky.social makes such a good point about letting go and letting your kids play, they don’t always need you!

Every time I eat or drink something with any artificial sweetener it tastes like metal and my entire mouth goes numb, this can’t be the experience everyone else is having!???

My 2yo can’t remember the word for platypus but she has a platypus stuffie which she calls “Not octopus but…”

Bluesky is starting to hit like Old Twitter!!!!!!!! A certified banger.
