Just a typical Saturday morning making figures in my car while I wait for my daughter’s acrobatics class to be done 😄

Hi there #Newskies! I'm Abbie, a museum person and former astronomer. I skeet about #altAc, science literacy, #sciComm, astro/physics, #academicMom / #Momademia, #AcademicMentalHealth, Michigan #MIpol, science shitposting (shitskeeting?), gardening, knitting, and whatever the fuck else I want!

What kind of sorcery is happening when you shake out little kids' shoes and the sand just never seems to end? 😫 #AcademicMom

Science mom pro tip: you don't need to buy your kids any expensive toys, an empty falcon tube will entertain them for hours!

As an academic parent, carving out me-time is always a balancing act, even on holiday!

If you want your toddler to puke all over the kitchen floor, give them too much fruit smoothie and let them drink it as fast as they can.

Me to my students: find a dedicated space that allows you really focus on your work without distractions.

Also me: writing conferences papers on my phone while lying in the dark on the floor of my toddlers’ room.

Parent friends, please reply or DM with your advice on bedtime fears/anxiety in toddlers, especially as it relates to new room/new bed. We shifted bedtime back because he's partially dropping his nap and bedtime was taking 2 hours, but it's still taking 2 hours!! It just goes much later now!!

Also, just like how having a child is NOT intrinsically better than being childfree, having two children is NOT intrinsically better than having one child. #AcademicMom #Momademia #MomSky #ParentSky

Okay, I want to start a thread for the #AcademicMom out there. I am feeling a little disillusioned and discouraged this week, so how about we share proud moments from our work and mom life? 🥰 #PhDSky #AcademicSky

I've changed my email signature to a quote from Frozen II.

That's the #academicMom life I've always dreamed off.

As part of my commitment to post Just Some Stuff Amidst All This, here's yesterday's antics.

I'd never done a sensory bin at home for my toddler, so I thought doing one during this Midwest heatwave is the perfect time.

Current mood. This week I need to make significant progress into Ch 3 so I have space for the rest of the year for data analysis. This means that my brain has gone on strike and I know absolutely nothing. #phdlife #academicmom

My 4 year old: mom, can you give me a word that starts with E?

Me: elephant

Her: another!

Me:..... existentialism?

Kiddo 1 asked kiddo 2 to peer-review his new Minecraft layout.
What "secrets of the trade" are your kids catching from having an #academicmom or #academicparent?
