By toddlers' standards, Ms. Rachel is among the most famous people in the world. The YouTube educator and one of Glamour’s Women of the Year has become many kids' favorite celebrity, gracing their screens with colorful videos and catchy songs.
But at the end of the day, she’s just a tired mom too.
On Instagram, Rachel Accurso is more unfiltered than she is on her children's YouTube account. She posts everything from solemn messages about advocacy for children to funny parenting selfies with unwashed hair and too little sleep. “I have strep throat and need a shower. Everything is everywhere. l love being a mom more than anything. I miss sleep,” she captions one post.
In an interview with USA TODAY, she recalls an instance three years ago when her son Thomas, now 7, told her “I’m proud of you, you took a shower!”
“I was like, I need this praise right now,” Accurso says, laughing.
