Mindy Kaling excels at every role she takes on — whether that's acting, producing, screenwriting, penning a book or being a mother of three kids.
The Mindy Project star is the mom to Katherine "Kit" Swati, 6, Spencer Avu, 3, and newborn Anne, whom she welcomed in February. Although Kaling remains adamant about not sharing her children's faces on social media until they are old enough to consent, it hasn't stopped the mom of three from posting adorable snaps of her kids in their everyday lives.
"I'm like any parent where I'm proud of the things they do," the actress explained to PEOPLE in a 2021 interview. "I think they're so cute, and of course, I want other people to see it."
From stargazing to trick-or-treating on Halloween, see all the glimpses Kaling has given into her life at home.
Announcing Anne
On June 24, the actress revealed that she quietly welcomed her second daughter, Anne, in late February. She announced the news alongside a sweet picture of her new baby with older siblings Katherine and Spencer laying beside her in the grass.
"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline," wrote Kaling.
On International Women's Day
Kaling celebrated International Women's Day with an Instagram carousel of the women who "inspire" her, including her daughter Katherine.
In the Big Apple
A montage of the Kaling family's outing in New York City for Thanksgiving in 2023 saw Katherine and a spectacled Spencer stare at their reflections in the subway window.
"Seriously needed this trip to New York with the family. I feel like Michael Scott saying this but man this is the most special city,” Kaling wrote in the Instagram video's caption.
Egg Hunt
For Easter 2024, Kaling organized an "indoor egg hunt" for her daughter and son due to rainy weather.
Admiring Autumn
Katherine and Spencer had a perfect view of Central Park from their window at Manhattan's Pierre Hotel.
"Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So grateful for these turkeys! 🥰❤️🦃 Hope you’re having a wonderful day with your family!" Kaling captioned the carousel of pictures from the family's holiday celebration.
Little Red
Kaling posted a photo on Instagram Stories of three-year-old Spencer celebrating Halloween in 2023, dressed up as a firetruck.
Trick-or-Treat
Another picture from Halloween 2023 saw an eager Katherine and Spencer awaiting candy from a neighbor.
Princess Katherine
In another Halloween 2023 snap on Kaling's Instagram Stories, Katherine passed through a makeshift cemetery in her Princess Tiana garb.
Fourth of July
Kaling shared a video from the family's July 4 celebration where she lit a sparkler and jokingly chased Katherine and Spencer around. The latter, however, was too busy riding on his toy bike to notice.
A White House Field Trip
To accept the National Medal of Arts from President Joe Biden, Kaling took a trip to D.C. with her kids. In a snap from her Instagram carousel posted after the event, Katherine holds her mother's hand as the two walk up a flight of stairs.
Celebrating Spencer
The Never Have I Ever creator shared an endearing video on Instagram of Spencer in honor of his second birthday, where he wakes up in his crib and waves hello to his shadow.
"Happy 2nd birthday to my son Spencer, who is the human personification of a hug," Kaling captioned the tribute. "I can't describe the intense joy it is to be your mom. You remind this old cynical lady that the world is full of wonder, and fun can be found in the most mundane places."
Starry Night
Kaling, Katherine and B.J. Novak — who is also Katherine's godfather — enjoyed a night at the Griffith Observatory in August 2022. In 2019, the Tony Award winner told Good Housekeeping that Novak was "so much more like family now than a platonic friend."
"He comes over like once a week. Sometimes he'll come over just to hang out with her," Kaling added.
Hiding Out
The Office alum found her son on the kitchen floor playing with a toy car amid Thanksgiving festivities in 2022.
Turning 1
Kaling posted Spencer to her social media for the first time in celebration of his first birthday.
"Friday was my son Spencer's first birthday," Kaling wrote under the Instagram photo, where he sat on the floor poking at birthday balloons. "My daughter Kit is pretty cautious with new people. Not this guy. If you happen to make eye contact with Spencer, he lights up like you are old war buddies and he makes a beeline to you."
Kobe Kaling
On what would have been Kobe Bryant's 43rd birthday, Kaling shared a photo of Katherine wearing the late basketball great's jersey.
"Happy birthday Kobe. I'm reminded of your impact daily," the comedienne wrote alongside the shot. "For instance, here is a picture of my daughter at ballet when she refused to take off your jersey and put on her leotard and tutu."
