17 of Kristen Bell's Most Relatable Mom Moments on Instagram, All While Protecting Her Kids' Privacy

Kristen Bell might be one of the most well-known actresses around, but since becoming a mom, she's made it clear that she doesn't believe kids of famous people should automatically have equally famous faces. After welcoming daughters Lincoln in March 2013 and Delta in December 2014, Kristen and her husband, Dax Shepard, started a "No Kids Policy" movement in an attempt to keep their and other celebrities' kids out of the media and away from paparazzi. "I'm telling you right now, we don't want our daughter's face anywhere ever until she decides because I have the utmost respect for her," Bell told Access Hollywood.

But just because she's adamant about maintaining her kids' privacy doesn't mean she doesn't pay tribute to them on social media, especially on Instagram, where she's documented their sweet relationships, the challenges of motherhood (no, her kids don't think she's super cool just because she's Princess Anna from Frozen), and some of their childhood milestones. Check out 17 of our favorite ways Kristen has shown her love for her daughters, all without showing their faces.

01

Lincoln's First Day of Kindergarten

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!!"

02

Delta's Rendition of "Let It Go"

Kristen's daughter Delta can be seen — but mostly heard — belting out a little "Let It Go" in nothing but her underwear. "No pants, no problem — the show must go on," Kristen captioned the funny video.

Lincoln's Preschool Graduation

During Lincoln's preschool graduation, Kristen posted to her Instagram Stories: first to say that though she was visibly losing it, she was having a "GREAT time," and second, to ask her followers to scratch that previous statement.

Lincoln's Preschool Graduation

"Don't worry guys, I'm having a GREAT time at preschool graduation. I'm not a mess or anything," she wrote on her first Story, adding on the second: "OK, I was lying before, please send help."

05

Breakfast in Bed

"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).

06

Family Dance Party

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.

07

Holding Hands

"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.

08

Women's March

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."

09

Delta's Birth Day

"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."

10

Staying Grounded

"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) was missing a pretty essential body part.

11

Kid Life

"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!

12

Playing Dress-Up

In October 2017, Kristen appeased her daughters by fulfilling 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.

13

Bath Time Hacks

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

14

Kid Car Safety

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."

15

Diaper Hack

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

16

Picking Flowers

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

Lake Swimming

"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.
