If you are a parent who is stuck at home with their children all day long, we’ve compiled a list of social media accounts we think you should follow to motivate and inspire you during this time of social distancing.

1. @Parents

Parents magazine has been around for years, so it is no wonder why they’re number one on our list of social media accounts to follow. Earlier this month, the brand began providing its followers with Parents Quarantine Tip of the Day where they share anything from tips on who’s reading children’s books on a live stream, to songs for kids to enjoy washing their hands to! Plus, they’re sharing super relatable content for all parents to enjoy, so you don’t have to feel like a superhero every second of this quarantine. You can follow them here: instagram.com/parents

If you’re a fan of quotes, pie charts, and words of affirmation, you will love The Mom Project’s Instagram. Not only do they feature quotes from some empowering women on the regular, but they also engage in conversation with their followers. Earlier this week they had moms come together and share their experience searching for work and resulted in the community coming together and lifting each other up.
