Coming home from my parent’s house and I told the girls there was no more food at our house. My 3 year old speaks up, “Because the Grinch stole it?” She was so concerned 😅


#classroomconvos Student: Solving this is too complicated. Me: There’s 3 steps to it - multiply, subtract, then divide. S: See, that’s too many for me. Me: *exhausted by excuses* How many steps do you want? S: 1. Me: That’s not gonna happen. #iteachmiddleschool

When my 4 yo gets up past her bedtime bc she wants to know what 5+6 is, I can’t be angry #thatsmygirl #mathteachersdaughter #itsmathoclock


First child tax credit received ✅ Reassurance that govt cares about its future ✅


My daughter gets her first mani-pedi. Someone asks her, “do boys or girls wear nail polish?” Without hesitating she says, “they both do.” 💪🏼💅🏼 #proudmama #fuckgenderroles #manipedisforall
