The 36-year-old author posted a carousel that opens with Ford facing a wall of balloons. Subsequent slides showcase his personalized blue Mustang ride-on toy and a two-tiered birthday cake, capturing the low-key celebration.

Schwarzenegger Pratt-daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Shriver-shares Ford, Eloise Christina, and Lyla Maria with husband Chris Pratt. She also helps parent Chris’s teenage son Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris.
In October she posted another batch of family photos, cradling Ford amid bubbles and sharing close-ups of her daughters’ painted fingernails. “Babies, books, and ponies 🐴,” she wrote then, underscoring the everyday joys she documents for followers.
During a recent appearance on the Cat and Nat Unfiltered podcast, Schwarzenegger Pratt discussed teaching chores to her older children, admitting she’s stricter than expected. She credits her approach to her father’s household rules growing up.
“I guess [we’re] more traditional with the chores and also the implementation of the chores and the strictness of the chores,” she said. “This is like, probably a little bit of my father coming out, but my dad had no patience or excuses for not doing your chores.”
She recalled being pulled from a high-school semi-formal dance because she failed to fold and put away laundry. “I came home from the semi-formal because of that,” she remembered. “My dad was very strict about it.”
Now she sees her own parenting style mirroring those expectations. “I was always like, ‘This is terrible. How could you do this to us? Nobody has chores like this.’ Now I’m like, we’re doing the same thing,” she laughed.
The birthday recap and podcast comments together paint a picture of a mother balancing celebration with structure, documenting milestones while maintaining the discipline she learned in her famous family.
According to News Of Los Angeles, the author often uses social media to share curated glimpses of family life, from holiday gatherings to everyday childhood moments, giving followers a window into her children’s personalities without oversharing.
