So yeah, that’s my story. I’m glad to finally have told it in text form. Feels kinda nice.
TL;DR- don’t let your kids bring home an electronic infant, because it may make sure you NEVER get grandkids.

You may have an Elf on a Shelf, that don’t move when kids touch them. But we have “Gnomes that Roam,” that move after kids touch them. A new Halloween tradition is born. #halloween #gnomes #familytraditions #kids #parentsofbluesky

On vacation w 12 year old son who’s newly in a phase where we can’t say A SINGLE GODDAMN THING, like basic boring “put your bag in the trunk” stuff, without a smart ass response which attempts to be funny and fails. #parentsofbluesky please tell me this ends. We are all losing our minds.

We parent differently when we ...

Practice Self-care
Seek support
Focus on connection
Celebrate small wins
Adjust our expectations
Practice patience and empathy

Which one can you add to your parenting practice today?

This morning my 3 year old was talking about how people have different colored hair and eyes. I asked him what color my eyes are and he emphatically said “RED!”

There is no emotion more genuine and pure than a baby with a frowny face.

An unspoken moment of parenthood:

Middle of the night diaper change. You lean forward, squinting to see in the darkness. You lift their legs, they release a fart, it goes right into your mouth and into your soul.

I took a screenshot so I could share my post in two places. My heart is sad. #kids #parentsofbluesky #ivotedblue

Tuesday morning mood. The littlest spawn is not feeling school today. Can’t say that I blame them. #parentsofbluesky #neurodivergent

Did you know that I don’t just bake dog treats? I write children’s books too! I had a great time last weekend at Bucks County Bookfest in Doylestown PA! Check out my children’s books at https://www.courtney-goodman-author.com #author #childrensbooks #parentsofbluesky #indieauthor

A friend to my 4 year old*

“When is your birthday?”

“March 5”

“Great, it is coming up… Do you know what year?”

“Every year…”

Gen Z colleague: “Do you have a cat ,what is that sound in the background?”

“Oh you sweet innocent summer child who is currently living their best life, that is the sound of a little child throwing the mother of all tantrums”

*My Pre-schooler playing with her stuffed toys in the family room*

"I love you so much mommy"

Me: I love you too, sweetheart

4 year old: That was not for you. That was my baby talking to me because I am the mommy.

Me: 😒😭😳

“As a parent, please don’t be your child’s first bully”

I recently heard this and cannot stop thinking about it.

Always a good reminder to remember that as a parent we can say things and behave in ways that can totally destroy our kid!

Had a peak GenAlpha conversation with my 4 year old...

"Mom, is God real?"

"Umm that is a very complex question.."

*4yr old interrupts*

"...then just ask Siri. I have seen Daddy ask Siri very difficult questions too...Siri is not a person but Siri knows all these things..."

Reminder: If your teen calls you over to show you something he’s excited about- do it. Even if you are busy (in my case, in the middle of making dinner). Doors don’t open on our schedule- they open on their’s. #parentingteens #parentsofbluesky
