What Moms Are Really Thinking On Instagram

So I love Instagram (shameless plug: Follow me.). But we all know how some of us (ahem) tend to put our best foot forward on social media. Not that I would ever do this. But this girl I know helped me write this post. Here are *honest* instagram posts, with the captions we’re really thinking. Come on, you know it’s true.

The “Book On My Nightstand” post

Yeah, I read books. Impressed? You should be.

The “Picture of My Dinner Cooking” Post

Just whipped up homemade chicken noodle soup in between homeschooling my adorable children. Did you see the kale? And guys, make sure you keep in mind, it’s organic chicken.

The “Super-Healthy-Product” post

Guys, my family is so healthy, we just got this water filter/air purifier/kombucha maker/grain grinder/Vitamix. That totally makes up for the Chick-fil-a we ate yesterday. Totally.

The “Cute Baby” Post

Let’s all just stop what we’re doing for a minute and consider the beautiful child I have made, in the picture that only took 4,987 tries. Okay. Proceed.

The “Family Night” Post

Fun night with the fam! But more importantly, my right arm looks suuuper skinny in this pic. I am definitely sharing this one.

The “Date Night” Post

I hope everyone sees this one. i look so good when I take a shower.

The “My Kids Are Doing A Project” Post

I wish #2 didn’t look so bored. But seriously, WHAT did moms ever do back on the prairie before Instagram, with no one “heart-ing” their pictures?? That must have been rough. Seriously.

The “Kid With a Book” Post

Guys, my kid is reading. R.E.A.D.I.N.G. Hello, #smartestkideva

The “I’m Playing Games With My Kid” Post

I’m having so much fun, I had to stop to take a picture. Did you catch what’s happening here? I’m playing games with my kids. #mompoints

The “Real-Life” Post

I sort of feel bad about the last couple of Super Mom posts, so this is my attempt to #keepitreal. But don’t worry, I definitely picked the least messy room of my super-messy house. And, obviously, I cleaned up this counter a little before the picture. For crying out loud, you don’t expect me to keep it that real.

The “Solitary Morning In A Coffee Shop” Post

Good thing I ate that cheesy bacon bagel before I took this picture. Hopefully everyone thinks it was an egg-white omelet. Shoot, I forgot to crop my Bible in the pic. And I wish I had a mac. Then I’d really look cool. *Sigh.*

The “Super Husband” Post

wearing baby + washing dishes = he’s pretty much so amazing we never fight. More or less.

The Baby Selfie

So-so pic of the babe. I really wanted you all to see my messy bun. I feel like I perfected it today, no?

Any of these ring true to you? This girl I know, she wanted to know if she was alone. *cough.* 🙂
