My son is dipping his strawberries into ketchup tonight. I cannot reiterate enough how gross children are.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

We had a discussion at dinner about what your favorite number is. Do you have one?

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

No one told me if we put our child into gymnastics, she would just turn into a permanent cartwheel.

My kiddos (5 and 7) and my husband are currently playing hide and seek. With the 3 month old puppy. 😂

These announcers just said Tom Cruise “knows how to compete under pressure” in comparison to SIMONE BILES. And I’m going to respectfully disagree…

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

We already chose bears. Obviously we will also choose cats, as well.

People who think calling someone a #catlady is a solid insult have not come to terms that a cat offers better company than they do.

My husband yawned IN HIS SLEEP. Meanwhile, I’ve been awake since 2 am.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

Just casually discussing our favorite planets with the kids at 7 am on a Tuesday.

I LOVED the Olympics Team Trials parent videos. But the greatest was @hezrivera dad when he found out she made the team. 😍

In the last week, I’ve encouraged a friend of mine to revisit her #anxiety medicine and a friend of mine has encouraged me to get back into therapy. Can we please normalize talking about #mentalhealth and supporting each other on this journey called life?

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

Having a picnic lunch with the kids, sitting around and discussing our favorite bugs. The best Mother’s Day. 😍

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

My 4yo just announced that hockey players don’t have any teeth. He is now very confused as to why his dad still has teeth…

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

You may have peaked as an adult if you have a favorite grocery-delivery shopper.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

At lunch, and my MIL has mushrooms on her pizza. My 4yo just announced that he likes mushrooms.

Marshmallows. He means marshmallows 😂

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

4 yo just walked out into the living room. “Mom…”

“Can I pretty. Pretty. PRETTY PLEASE have some ice cream?”

It’s 7:34 am.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

My 4 year old just turned on the ceiling fan to make his finger cut feel better.

I believe I missed something in this logic.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

My 7 yo just asked us to build her a she-shed in the backyard…for her Barbie’s.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

Want excitement as a parent? Have your 4yo drink paint on a Saturday and you can call poison control and/or the pediatrician and/or the ER.

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

4yo yawns (at 8 in the morning) so we ask if he is tired.

“No, it’s just a wake up yawn. They always get in my mouth in the mornings when I wake up.”

[Alex Andrea Carlson @AlexAGCarlson]

30 seconds later, 7yo then asked us if she wears contacts….apparently contacts make sure vampires cannot hypnotize you.
