Kirschenheiter was screaming “Oh my god!” in celebration of the milestone. The short, electrifying clip stirred the exhausting yet joyous emotions mixed for every parent coming from summer break. In the caption, she wrote, “We did it moms!!! Way to hang there!! Another amazing summer under our belts Birdy!! It’s safe to say our kids have the life!!” Later, she added hashtags such as #coparenting and #momming to lovingly touch upon the joys and struggles of parenting in a blended family.
The people that identified with the post were quick to respond, one commenting, “Love this. Every momma that has had kids home all summer feels the same way.” Another one said, “This got me excited all over again!” Another chimed in, “We’re already back in and it’s glorious lol.” That comment section soon turned into a mini-support group of parents exchanging back-to-school timelines, some saying their kids already started, while others still have to wait weeks.
One comment left said: “Shopping at Tilly’s like the rest of us I see.” It’s a tiny detail of relatability; even starlets wander into Tilly’s aisles prepping for another school year.
The conversation drifted to teachers, with one saying, ‘Teachers aren’t ready for the summer to end lol! I’ll be ready day 1 with open arms! The adjustment is so hard though!’ A reminder that the back to school transition isn’t hard just for parents-the educators feel it too.
Kirschenheiter has increasingly grown to describe the highs and lows of parenting, mainly from the perspective of a mother in a blended family, keeping it real one time further with this recent post-celebrating the small wins while acknowledging that healing is universal in parenthood.

Posts like this one are more and more welcomed as the sun dips toward the end of summer for families across the United States, serving as buoyant reminders that all of parenthood is in the same boat and ready to embrace structure, albeit with a tinge of nostalgia for the free world of summer. An upcoming shopping session at Tilly’s will be in order for back-to-school treats! Also, as Kirschenheiter reminds us, taking a trip can be fun, such as her recent visit to Chili’s, which sparked laughter among her fans Chili’s!
