"This.NEVER.happens," she admitted in the caption. "If I could stop the racing thoughts of the end of the world/dealing with the mess in my garage/and counting the fruits&veggies/glasses of water my kids drank today it would be a evvvvven chiller."

Another follower noted that alone time is a "rare occurrence for moms."
Duff has been spending plenty of time with her little ones lately, including soaking in some sun with Banks on the Fourth of July.
