Kristen Bell received quite the unique card from her and husband Dax Shepard’s daughters in honor of Mother’s Day.
“Happy Father’s Day Mom!” the front of the paper read, written in bubble letters, which was shared via Bell’s Instagram on Sunday, May 11.
Inside the card was a message, complete with a drawing of two stick figure girls holding hands inside a heart.
“Mom, I love you so much! To the moon and back!” the note read. “Happy Mother’s Day you creative and consiterate [sic] bitch!”
“Best card anyone has ever given or gotten 💕,” Bell, 44, captioned the post.
Bell and Shepard, 50 — who tied the knot in 2013 — welcomed daughters Lincoln and Delta in March 2013 and December 2014, respectively. While the couple has made an effort to keep their girls out of the spotlight, Bell and Shepard have gotten candid about parenthood through the years.
“[Dax] said, ‘Kids can see adults fight, particularly their parents, but [do] you ever think about the follow through? When do they see them resolve it? When do they see them make up? And kids mimic us. That’s how they grow,’” Bell exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2017 of how the twosome handles arguments. “We always make an effort to make them see. So the next morning I’ll say, ‘Hey, you know what Dad, I’m really sorry I was so frustrated yesterday when you were bringing in the groceries. I could have had a nicer tone in my voice.’”
She continued, “And he would say, ‘Thanks for saying that, Mom, I know you were stressed.’ And we let our kids see how to solve conflict and that was his idea. And if we don’t genuinely wake up like that in front of each other, we will write the script to make them see.”
In September 2024, Bell opened up about how she and Shepard enjoyed a family trip to Denmark in a unique way.
“The hack is when we went to Copenhagen, we stayed at this hotel that was right at Tivoli Gardens, which is like a seven-acre theme park. It’s an old one,” Bell said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the time. “The hotel opens up into the theme park and so we just were kind of like, ‘Are we going to free-range parenting and roll the die here?’ They woke up at, like, 6 every morning. They scanned their bracelets to go outside. [We] didn’t see them for seven hours. Just running around Copenhagen.”
When Kimmel, 57, asked if “that was OK,” Bell laughed and noted that they returned safely.
“It was heaven,” she quipped. “[Dax and I] just had coffee. We played Spades, and then around 3, we’d be like, ‘Anybody see them?’ And then one of them would run up and need a Band-Aid or whatever.”
