She continues, "Honestly, they're teaching me a lot of things that I didn't know about myself," including, "patience" and "how to balance."

"They boss me around and it's a really fun time," Mitchell adds with a laugh. "Every day I get to learn something new, but I also get to see things through their eyes."

In April, the proud mom shared a carousel of photos on Instagram from a vacation with her two daughters as she admitted in the caption, “Spring break looks a lot different from how it used to.”

Mitchell showed off quite a few photos of Rome, including an adorable shot of the toddler sitting in her lap all bundled up in a towel by the pool, and a sweet shot where she posed with her in a dress. She also shared a sweet photo of Rome and Atlas sitting inside a unicorn blow-up floatie by the pool.

In another post, Mitchell poked fun at how quickly her older daughter is picking things up as she shared a photo of herself looking chic in a blue one-piece swimsuit, sunglasses and a crochet sunhat. In the next few photos, she zoomed in to show the reflection of Atlas in the lenses of her glasses as the little girl served as a photographer for her mom.

“Some people have ig husbands/wives and I have my four year old,” she jokingly captioned the post.
