"SPARKLE is my favorite color!" she shouted indignantly from the back row of the minivan.

Is everyone's #Pesach prep playlist just Pressure from Encanto playing over and over or is that just me?

"She said DOODY!" 🤦‍♀️ Trying to watch Ketanji Brown Jackson's opening statement with a 3 year old.

"I don't want to do these things. They're wery hard," my 2 year old sighed when I asked her to make and brush her teeth. Have I got news for her.

My daughter with absolutely zero qualifications to be a veterinarian claims she is an animal doctor. What is my job, according to her? "Picking up toys." 😭

My mom was laughing at some of my stories and said there should be a #covidmommydiaries. Kudos to any quarantining parents with the wherewithall to write for others. This particular mama is too wiped at the end of the day for anything more than passing out.

Thanks to the generosity of family members, we've been receiving care packages all week and it's become clear that my 6 year old regrets not getting covid sooner.

"Too much music." My 2.5 year old's opinion halfway through Frozen. Oh boy...

Hey @NYTimes--I would love more articles about hidden gems of the internet like Wordle! Also, how frustrating is it when the word has a letter that appears more than once?

I love this feature on the library receipt! $6,795.38 in savings must be a new record for me. Thanks to my voracious readers at home and @TeaneckLibrary for having a great selection. Let's see if we can top it in 2022!

I mean, I guess this is how I feel about 2021? #Hanukkahfail #Hanukkah2021

We have a kids gifting night on #Chanukah. They learn the behind-the-scenes work that goes into gift giving and it mitigates some gimme-gimmes. The best part is how excited they get when I loudly wish for the thing they got me in the days leading up to Chanukah! @AllOfItWNYC

My daughter calls a crescent a "banana moon" and I don't see any reason to correct her. #toddlerlife

My husband said he can tell when the book I'm reading is a good one because I'm always annoyed when he interrupts my reading. So @richardosman my husband and kids would like to not thank you for your delightful series!

"At my birthday I want to turn 4," my 2.5 year old said while contorting herself to fit her entire body into her shirt. #toddlers

My daughter is angry-watching #DanielTiger because she didn't want the particular episode that's on this morning. She's honing her heckling craft on Daniel and his family. 🤦‍♀️

@BigBird @EricaRHill My kids and I hope you got a lollipop, that's the best part!

I'm so excited to have booked my boys vax appts! If you have any q's or concerns about #COVIDVaccine for kids, ask your pediatrician and not people on the internet/friends/family. Your doctor is the only one you should trust medical advice from for your children.

If you don't leave three mismatched socks and a sweater on your spouse's bed, how will they know to thank you for putting away the laundry?
