Instagram rarely depicts real life. We spend a long time carefully curating our feed, making sure we've added the right filter, or photoshopped out a skin imperfection, or piece of trash on the floor.
This is probably doubly true for parenting bloggers, who have to deal with not just their own mess, but that of their children too.
Wren Kitchens teamed up with five of the UK's top parenting bloggers to see behind the photos they upload. Often, there's quite a lot of chaos going on in the background.
Here are five Instagram shots, with everything that goes on behind the scenes too.

"Every meal is completely unpredictable — some can go amazingly well, while others… not so much. It took two of us to distract Emma and coax her out of having a complete meltdown," said mum and lifestyle blogger, Bridie By The Sea.
"Despite the absolute chaos we had caused in the kitchen, it was a success. It's all about balance — enjoying the moment together regardless of mess and chaos."
A Californian Mum in London, Elfa, said she feels the pressure to make life look perfect and glossy on Instagram.

"I mainly try to ignore those pressures, it's tough enough being a mother these days," she said. "While I will sometimes share the better photos and not share the utter mess of my life, I like my blog and social media to be a fairly accurate portrayal of my family life."
The end result may look amazing, but there's always going to be mess to clean up afterwards.
