I spend my days running after three kids under 5 years old.

My toddler started cheering because I peed in the potty. It's always nice to feel appreciated for the little things, I guess. #momlife

Who’s going to break it to @thejubalshow that the Kraken did not actually win their home opener?! 😬

An epidemiologist, an ICU doctor and a scientist all walk into a bar.

I’m just kidding, they know better.

This is so frustrating. Living in a state (WA) in which EVERYONE mails in their ballots has made me a more consistent and informed voter. It was such a hassle to vote in IL! No one should be against mail-in voting. https://t.co/nAxPrmQ0lj

In case there was any question about how hippy dippy we are, Tim just made me a latte with homemade hemp milk. 😂

Dirty Dancing is a really upsetting if you imagine it from the POV of Baby’s dad, a cardiologist who just desperately wanted a few weeks of peaceful vacation.

I may have just Googled this last night. Wish us luck. 🤞🙏

@taylorsschumann I wanted to dislike my minivan so much but now I’m 100% team minivan (at least while I have three kids in carseats... TBD after that)!

Why not now?

After 400 years of unabashed racism and pervasive white supremacy so deeply seeped in the American way of life that most carriers cannot even see it, why not now for this demonic stronghold to be broken? Why not now in a time and generation among the least likely?

[JenHatmaker @JenHatmaker]

"I felt threatened" and "he resisted" and "she did not comply" and "he matched the description" and "I was afraid for my life" are modern-day code words that give white supremacy a secure, reliable foothold in this generation, free of all accountability and justice.

When I'm leaving the house for a long weekend I run around like a maniac trying to do all of the things... I can't imagine what it would be like to leave the entire PLANET!

[Naptime Chai @lisabenroeck]

I'm at the point in quarantine where I'm actually googling 'gardening for dummies'. It's clearly desperate times over here!

@TreasureTromp Phoebe woke up. 🙄 I hope this doesn’t mean all the leaves are going to fall off the trees all at once! 😱

[Naptime Chai @lisabenroeck]

Another Midwest-style thunderstorm in Seattle! ⛈ I liked it a lot more before it woke up my sleeping baby. 😒

Wife: *picks up a bowl*

Me: We don't need that.

Wife: I don't need you.

Me: *buys the bowl*

I am trapped under a sleeping baby and am wondering if I attempt the next-to-impossible “transfer” to the crib, or whether I accept my fate and stay like this all night. And then every night until she goes to college. 🤔

[Naptime Chai @lisabenroeck]

@henning_love That’s been my feeling too, but my ped said she’s recently changed her stance because the newest research says 4 months is an optimal time to introduce high-allergen foods, so I guess that’s what we’ll go with. 🤷‍♀️

[Naptime Chai @lisabenroeck]

The ped just told us that the new recommendation is for babies to start solid food at 4 months (instead of 6). I’m amazed at how quickly advice like this changes! 🤯
