Take a peek at the Instagram account @littlekidnyc and you’ll find a collection of images of a boy on a journey through the Big Apple. Don’t panic though. He’s not alone. His mother, Beth Beckman, is behind the camera. Beckman uses the account to call attention to local attractions and events that parents and children can enjoy together. The account has more than 23K followers.

Simon Hooper is the British father behind the Instagram account @father_of_daughters. Hooper shares the more comedic moments of his family life, which involves sharing a house with four daughters and a wife. The account has more than 994K followers.

Cooper is also the author of the book “Forever Outnumbered: Tales of Our Family Life from Instagram’s Father of Daughters.” Similar to the popular Instagram account, the book comically describes the chaos of Hooper’s family life.

Beau Coffron

Many parents are familiar with the ritual of packing a lunchbox for their children. But some adults have more fun with it than others. For example, Beau Coffron, who goes by @lunchboxdad on Instagram, has turned the chore of packing lunch into an art form.

Coffron uses the image-sharing platform to show off recipes and arrangements that kids love. As you browse through his photo collection, you’ll spy everything from video game and comic book themes to dinosaurs and Muppets. More than 36K followers enjoy this artistic dad’s handiwork.

Tiffany Jenkins

Tiffany Jenkins is a speaker, author and a mother. And she does it all with a sense of humor. Jenkins uses her Instagram account, @jugglingthejenkins, to share stories about her family life and her journey away from addiction.

Although she has more than 816K followers on Instagram, the account doesn’t match her massive audience on Facebook, which exceeds four million followers. Jenkins also hosts a podcast called Take it or Leave it, which she uses to offer “advice-ish” to listeners.

Amy Tangerine

Amy Tangerine is a crafting wiz with a love for scrapbooking. Although her Instagram account, @amytangerine, offers inspiring posts for people who love creative projects, Tangerine never hesitates to bring her family members into the picture. She cites her son as a daily inspiration, and he shows up frequently in her colorful collection of images. Tangerine has more than 185K followers on Instagram.

For a more in-depth look into Tangerine’s creative mindset, you can check out her 2018 book “Craft a Life You Love.” She also has a podcast of the same name.

Latham Thomas refers to herself as a “self-care sorceress.” She’s a mother and the founder of Mama Glow, a maternity lifestyle brand that supports other moms and soon-to-be moms.
