I'm pretty sure that summers before kids usually meant road trips, campfires, and beach days. Don't get me wrong, we still do all of that, but things have changed just a little.

For all the parents out there spending this summer worried about pee in the pool, road trip snacks, and how much sunscreen a kid really needs, these pictures are for you!

Having kids hasn't taken ALL of her time - she still has plenty to set up all these photos!

Don't be a cynic :) We know what her point is, and truth be told, the set up does not look like a very demanding one :)

Love the hair dryer and flat iron. Now she's settling for the simple braid.

I’m sure kids are time consuming but there are millions of parents who still make time for friends and hobbies. Every moment isn’t meant just for your children. Mothers are still people.

Speaking from second hand experience. Most of these mothers' friends are mothers too and they hang out in the park or at each other's home with both of their kids by their side. When the kids get old enough for kindergarten, then they can think about other kinds of friendship, hobbies, even employment. Her toddler doesn't look like kindergarten age yet. So for now she doesn't have that time yet. Although, as we see, maybe for hee hobbies a little bit, since she's taking these photos and posting them online. I believe she will become one of the milions of parents you're talking about when the kid gets old enough, but for now it must be feeling like an eternity for her.

I always say it's because humans will let you know when they're hungry & thirsty. If my plants would remind me, I would be a better plant mother.

Being a kiddy pool, you never know what might be in there.
