Entertainment
Social media is a great way to capture life's most memorable moments, but it's notorious for perpetuating unrealistic expectations. Enter: celebrities. Thanks to social media we get a look into their daily lives and, if only for a second, feel like we know them. And when the rich and famous share their funny mom moments, we feel a real sense of solidarity. They are just like us, you guys! They just, you know, happen to have a million social media followers. Thankfully, there are more than a few hilarious celebrity mom moments on Instagram that will not only make you feel less alone, but will leave you wishing you were part of their exclusive mom groups.
Two famous moms you should definitely be following are Busy Philipps and Kristen Bell; arguably the funniest moms on the internet. Although Bell doesn't post actual photos of her kids, she slays the Instagram game with her funny captions on motherhood. Philipps is another celebrity with a significant social media presence, and tends to get real about the aspects of motherhood we'd all rather just gloss over. So if you're not following them both, I suggest you do it now. Yes, right now.
It is so refreshing to see that parenting isn't easy for anyone, including famous people. They might live glamorous lives, but even babies sleeping in expensive cribs spit up and wear poop-filled diapers. So thank you, Instagram, for reminding us that even if we don't have the same platforms as the uber famous, at the end of the day we all put on our mom jeans the same: one stained leg at a time. So with that in mind, here are some hilarious celeb mom moments that we can all relate to:
1
Kristen Bell Playing With Toys
Kristen Bell is not only charming as you-know-what, but she is one of the most hilarious moms in the business. Here is a photo she posted on her Instagram of her children's toys getting it on. Anna and Tyrion actually make a cute couple.
