Today's momming / #carryshitolympics: returning the bass drum to the middle school

Northern lights (and city lights) from NCAR. And my kiddo taking pics with dad's camera #Boulder #NorthernLights

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

My 7th grader is dressed as a pile of laundry for Halloween 😆😜

Got an air purifier so naturally my kids are trying to fart on it. 🙃

Her church must have a different Bible than mine...

The employee who was dealing elephant tranquilizers has been fired. If you booked a party at the zoo, make sure to bring your own drugs from home.

Got the wordle in 2 and there were 2 yolks in my egg this morning. It's either going to be an amazing day or something terrible is about to happen...

Psst: a pint of ice cream fits inside a quart-sized yogurt container. Put a piece of masking tape on the lid and label it "chicken broth" - your family will never find it 🩵

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Announcement: dinner tonight will be cheese and carrots. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Announcement: I am also retiring due to an indifference to running

@libbyshannon.bsky.social - was this you or your husband 😜

I love how most of my phone conversations with my sisters end with, "shit - I gotta go" (click) ❤️

Today in A+ parenting: I let my 12 yo ride in an airplane with a stranger. And my 4 yo rode her bike around the neighborhood by herself looking for me while I was walking the dog (the 12 yo was supposed to be watching her)

@libbyshannon.bsky.social - does your resident map girl have an opinion on this Q? 😉

My husband has a sticker on his bike that says, "one less car." I want one for the cargo bike that says, "one less minivan"

"Mom - pretend you're not my grown-up and I'm allowed to go to grandpa's house by myself." Soon enough, babygirl. Also, everyone should have access to safe biking and pedestrian infrastructure

Traffic calming

Treasurer at the Goodwill! 12 yo was very confused about this 🙃

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

This morning's monthly flood warning siren test is hitting hard.

A bold claim from someone carrying an LL Bean Boat Tote

Good morning, @libbyshannon.bsky.social! Not sure if you can contribute to this, but I feel like you'd certainly appreciate it

I'm thinking about getting an arcade claw machine. Everything that gets left laying around the house would go in it. My kids (and sometimes the neighborhood kids) would then need to earn mom-bucks or use their own money to win back their belongings

The almost 12 year old just told me Ring Around the Rosey is about the plague? He is generally smarter than me but?

on this date eight years ago, Tom Holland wowed Zendaya on Lip Sync Battle with his cultural critique of impervious surface stormwater runoff.

My almost 12 year old thinks today is Mother's Day. And I'm going to ride this wave as long as possible.

@libbyshannon.bsky.social This looks fun!

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Today's #carryshitolymics was a team effort: two extra preschoolers and their bikes!

It's Window Safety Week

Last year when we visited my parents we paddle boarded with manatees. This year... we probably won't do any more paddle boarding or swimming in the river

In 2025, we’ve already hosted 4 Town Halls — in Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Nederland. And we’re just getting started! Next up 👉🏾 Western Slope and Boulder County Town Halls on March 22nd. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

“And we now go live to the White House where President Trump is looking over his newly-purchased Tesla Cybertruck.”

11 yo, 20 min before bedtime: "Do we have any monocles?" Never a dull moment around here...

Are you a federal worker in Metro Denver who just lost or left your job? A photographer friend is offering a free, short studio session and headshot.

Brushing my 4 year old child's hair: "BuT dAdDy SaYs I'm BeAuTiFuL tHe WaY tHaT i WaS!!"

I am mumbling-is-this-a-dress?-to-myself years old.

4 yo walks down the stairs without pants on. Me: Hi. Where are your pants? 4 yo: Upstairs. Can I have the scissors? Me: Definitely not.

4 yo: Hi mom. Me: Hi babe. 4 yo: please don't call me babe. Call me hot dog. Me: ....

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Today in why-is-my-4-yo-crying: I'm insisting she wear clean and warm clothes to school.

I'm going to be laughing about "cartographic buffoonery" for days. 😂🤪

Thought that since some people like to talk endlessly about saving women's sports that I'd make a list of the most pressing issues that need addressing to improve the lives of female athletes. Would be awesome if these folks took a break from the one-note culture war to help address these.
