I am all for individuality when it comes to parenting and an attitude of “you do you.” Nevertheless, I am also an avid, lifelong celebrity follower. Even though we can’t always trust what’s put on social media as reality, these celebrity moms give me personal inspiration as a mom. Their honest posts show me that no matter what stage of life, career, or income, as mothers, we are all in the same boat. We’re just trying to be the best we can be for our kids.
So, if you’re curious, here are the celebrity moms I follow on Instagram:
#1 Jessie James Decker
She ROCKS the whole work/life balance thing.
#2 Kate Hudson
She is all about her family. From her kids to her parents to her siblings and extended family, Kate never misses an opportunity to cherish all of her family’s special moments. In a fast-paced world, it’s so necessary to stop and indulge in what’s really important.
#3 Jessica Alba
Let’s just face it, she is perfection personified: married to a hunk, actress, business owner, perfect body. I guess I just want to be her.
#4 Carrie Underwood
She always makes time for date night. This is something my husband and I struggle with. We go, go, go and give, give, give to the kids, and never seem to find the time or energy to put back into our relationship. Carrie seems to know how it’s done!
#5 Hoda Kotb
She LOVES life. No one has a bigger smile, heart, and lust for life than this woman. I’ll have what she’s having.
#6 Behati Prinsloo
Okay, I will preface this with the fact that I have been obsessed with Adam Levine since I was about 14 (yes, pre-“The Voice” and becoming a household name. That’s right, I saw him first, ladies). So, obviously, I follow his baby mama on Instagram.
She is a downright cool, calm, and collected mama. I aspire to be just that, but when my daughter takes every couch pillow off of the sectional, gets them full of dog hair, and buries the baby in her pyramid fort for the fifth time that day, I kind of lose it.
#7 Pink
She does it all. She cooks with kids hanging off of her, pumps day and night, and shows us that no matter who you are, there really isn’t a glamorous side to motherhood.
#8 Chrissy Teigen
She’s hysterical. Also, she isn’t afraid to admit how difficult motherhood is and will shoot down any Internet troll who doesn’t like what she has to say in an instant. Funny, bold, and beautiful. What’s not to like?
#9 Reese Witherspoon
She makes time for her mom squad. Family goes beyond DNA. Our girlfriends make us whole.
#10 Kelly Clarkson
She doesn’t care what anyone thinks. She’s even given an interview to Heat magazine stating: “Oh, and she’s tweeted something nasty about me? That’s because she doesn’t know me! I’m awesome! … I’ve just never cared what people think.”
Words. To. Live. By.
