17 Times Kristen Bell Paid Tribute to Her Kids on Instagram While Keeping Their Privacy

The actress shared a photo of her and Dax walking their daughter to school in August 2018, followed by an adorable picture of her husband hugging Lincoln — and we cannot get enough. She captioned the photo, "Nerd alert!!! The team Shepard loves school!!"

"Today I woke up to breakfast in bed, immediately was given a side pony, and handed this beautiful birthday note. THIS is the good place!!!" Kristen captioned a photo in July 2018. While we're betting a grown up made that yummy breakfast sandwich, the side pony and note have kids written all over them (literally).

Kristen paid tribute to husband Dax on Father's Day with a cute picture of her family rocking out. "Happy Father's Day to the foundation of our family band. The one who always keeps us in time, on time, and dancing to a sick beat," she wrote.

"When she watches TV and mindlessly plays with my hand it's the best feeling on planet earth," Kristen captioned this picture of a hand-holding session in June 2018.

Kristen took her kids to the Women's March in 2017 and put up a photo from it in January 2018: "Me last year at the #womensmarch. Holding up my fellow women and reminding them they have rights and agency over their bodies, they deserve equal pay, and do not have to be afraid to use their voices loud and proud. Would do it again today, and any day in the future."

"Three years ago today," Kristen captioned this photo in December 2017. "47 lbs heavier. Getting through painful contractions with back rubs and breathing. Occasionally swinging from the IV pole to try and feel sexy and open up my hips. After 36 hours of labor, I met a girl I love more than all the molecules in all the world. Happy birthday, Delta. Love, mom."

"This will be the cover of my autobiography and it will be titled 'My children keep me grounded,'" Kristen captioned this photo in December 2017. Notice Princess Anna (Kristen provided the character's voice) is missing a pretty essential body part.

"This is a picture of both the floor of my house and the interior of my brain. #momlife," Kristen captioned this photo in November 2017. We've all been there, mama!

In October 2017, Kristen appeased her daughters by fulfiling their request to dress up as Elsa from Frozen, obviously not the part she plays in the film. "When your daughter demands you BOTH be ELSA for Halloween...you GRIN AND FORKING BEAR IT," she wrote.

Kristen reused yoghurt packageing in a move that totally proves why she's a down-to-Earth mom. "Paw Patrol bath time in recycled Chobani yoghurt cups. #reducereuserecycle #dontloseitreuseit," she captioned the August 2017 photo.

Kristen shared a mom tip when she posted this photo in June 2017. "'Hands on the circle!' The phrase we say as we jump out of the car," she wrote. "'Hands on the circle' (the circle is the gas cap) was invented by my brilliant sister in law, and has thus far kept all kiddos safe from any oncoming traffic while I unload the trunk."

"Quick fix for a broken pull up when you're on an aeroplane? Hair tie. BOOM. Next question," Kristen captioned this photo from May 2017. Nice hack!

"A tiny hand just came up and handed me this. What a perfect Saturday," she captioned this photo in April 2017. So sweet!

"First daddy daughter swim in Lake Michigan — a right of passage for any Mitten baby," Kristen captioned this photo in September 2016 of a very small Dax and their daughters. Both Kristen and Dax are originally from Michigan.
