Siri Daly has fans cracking up at her latest jingle about the long school year
Siri Daly is so over it that she's over being over it.
The 44-year-old blogger, who shares four kids — son Jackson, 16, and daughters Etta, 12, London, 10, and Goldie, 5 — with husband Carson Daly, has just about had it with the 2024-25 school year.
And she wasn't afraid to sing about it on social media.
'My kids are still in school and it's July next week,' she sings in her June 24 post on Instagram. 'And it's 100 degrees, and you're probably at the beach. But my kids are still in school.'
Siri Daly then goes off about having to still make lunches for her kids.
'I wanna punch the lunchbox in the face, but it doesn't have a face … Cause my kids are still in school,' she sings.
'And I'm over it — and I'm over being over it,' she continues while waving her finger in the air.
She ends the song by saying she's 'going crazy' because her 'kids are still in school' before holding the last note for an impressive amount of time.
Fans, followers and fellow parents took to the comment section to share their sympathy — and confusion.
'My gosh when does your kids school end for the season?' one parent commented. 'I don't have kids in school any longer but I would feel your pain if I did.'
'Midwest kids were finished May 15! Crazy yours are still at school,' another parent added.
'I'm obsessed with you!' wrote 'Today' show host Jenna Bush Hager.
'I wanna get you a lunchbox with a face so you can punch it! You are not aloooooone!' a third follower joked.
Some commenters praised her for the way she held the last note, while others implied that she will be singing a different tune once her kids are finally set free for the summer.
Siri Daly's song about her kids being in school is the latest in the blogger's ongoing series of jingles.
On April 29, the 'Siriously Delicious' creator sang about not wanting to spend money on skin products when she gets a facial — just for her to go back on her advice.
'Do your facial and GET OUT,' she tells herself through song. 'Then I do my facial and she says, 'You know what would be good for your face?' and I say, 'I'll take three of them!''
'Here's my credit card. Just charge me for whatever you think my face needs,' she continues in the song.
On Dec. 17, Siri Daly had everyone cracking up with her relatable holiday jingle.
'There are eight more days 'til Christmas. And our tree already died,' she sang. 'And we dragged it outside in a fit of rageful fury. And there were pine needles — everywhere.'
She also sang about not being done with Christmas shopping — despite being a week away from the big day.
'Because in October when there are deals I think, 'Hey, Siri, buy that now,'' she sings. 'But something in my brain doesn't let me. Because I know that I'd rather wait and feel stressed out.'
Siri Daly met her future husband when she was working as a writer's assistant on 'Last Call with Carson Daly,' which was broadcast by NBC from 2002 to 2019.
The couple started dating in 2005, according to People, and welcomed their first child, Jackson, in 2009.
The next few years were busy for the pair. They welcomed their first daughter, Etta, in 2012, got engaged in 2013, welcomed their second daughter, London, in 2014, and tied the knot in 2015.
The couple's fourth child, daughter Goldie Patricia, was born five years later in 2020.

Why the Casa Amor Bombshells Could Change Everything on 'Love Island USA' Season 7
Love Island USA's seventh season needs a shake-up, and Casa Amor could be the spark that lights the fire. This week, the islanders were split into two villas and introduced to a fresh group of bombshells ready to mingle. While the women met six guys at Casa, the men at the main villa cozied up to five new love interests. The latest episode, which aired June 24, showed a dramatic recoupling at both villas, leaving Olandria Carthen and Nicolas Vansteenberghe single. Both were forced to say tearful goodbyes at their respective abodes, but a cliffhanger suggested they might not be gone for good. Casa Amor has always been a fan-favorite pressure cooker, but this time, it's more than that: It's a lifeline that could turn the season on its head. So far, viewers have watched some petty tiffs and full-blown crashouts unfold, most of which were centered on the former couple Jeremiah Brown, who was recently dumped, and Huda Mustafa. But holistically, the drama has been scant, and the romantic connections have been underwhelming. Love Island's allure stems from watching Instagram model archetypes vie for love and affection, even if it means being messy and treading moral ambiguity. But this season's islanders seem a little too strategic and cautious of how viewers might perceive them, especially considering the cast of the previous season was so widely beloved. In the early episodes, some shied away from getting to know potential matches to show a suspiciously strong sense of loyalty to their newly minted friendships. Others have point-blank accused their villa mates of 'scamming,' prioritizing gameplay over romance, and not exploring enough connections. This hyper-awareness serves neither the islanders nor the viewers who would rather be a fly on the wall than a bug in the ear. But the tides could turn. Love Island host Ariana Madix previously confirmed that everyone—the main contestants and the Casa additions—will return to the original villa. This could force the islanders to make decisions even the most calculated mind wouldn't anticipate. In turn, that could bring out the type of chaos and palpable chemistry that's been missing thus far. Read ahead to learn more about the Casa contestants who could charge up this season. Arenales (pictured right), 28, is a financial accountant, real estate agent, and bartender. The Boston native and marathon runner often shares training and workout videos on his Instagram. In his Love Island intro, he exuded confidence, saying, 'Just know if you're with me, you're taken care of. I'm always smiling. I'm the fucking vibe wherever the fuck I go. And if you hate me, that's a you problem.' Bibas (pictured right), originally from Toronto, lives in Miami and works as a tech consultant. The 24-year-old bombshell also appears to be a health and wellness enthusiast, frequently posting fitness and motivational videos. 'I am one of those people that has a lot of hobbies,' he said on the show. 'I love to travel, I run ultramarathons, I like to meditate, and I'm looking for a life partner.' Blackmore, 25, models for an energy drink company. The self-proclaimed 'Southern Belle' competed for Miss Virginia USA last year and made it to the top five. 'I got a little bit of attitude,' she said in her intro, adding, 'I love to play Blackjack. I'm a card shark, so I'm always beating them out.' Blackmore later shared that she recently moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. Carraway, 24, hails from Charlotte, North Carolina. She introduced herself as a 'peer mentor' and experienced cheerleader. 'I'd rate myself a 'broke my scale' out of 10 for obvious reasons,' she said. 'As far as kissing goes, I haven't gotten complaints in that department.' Carraway added that she's interested in getting to know 'a few of the guys' and plans on getting what she wants, 'like I always do.' Dodard (pictured right) is a 23-year-old athlete from Puerto Rico. 'I got a little island spice,' he said on the show. Heading into the villa, he wasn't shy about his expectations: 'Ladies love me,' he said. 'My coaches always told me, 'Let the game come to you.' When the girls see me, they're instantly going to go for me. I'm a magnet. My presence is a present.' Duggar, 25, is a Seattle-based corporate investigator and a Swiftie, per her Instagram. According to her intro, Duggar wasted no time doing her research on her fellow islanders. 'I do have the boys in the villa already background checked,' she said. 'I'm excited to go in there knowing too much already.' Einerson is a social media and brand ambassador from Salt Lake City, Utah. Based on her Instagram, the 21-year-old digital creator also appears to be an avid golfer. When describing her type on the show, Einerson listed one major qualification: 'I honestly just love a guy that's freaking obsessed with me.' Seeley (pictured right), 27, is a professional basketball player who joined the Rajawali Medan, a team in the Indonesian league, earlier this year. The 6'8' athlete is from Los Angeles and has seven sisters. Seeley said he's still single 'because I'm picky,' and he hasn't found 'the right woman' yet. But he's hopeful that Love Island will help him meet his match. Srakaew (pictured right), 29, is a full-time international model. The tatted contestant is originally from Thailand but grew up in Manchester, England. He entered the villa with clear intentions: 'I'm here to try and find my potential wife,' he said. He added that people often assume he's a bad boy, but deep down, 'I'm a bit of a softie.' Watson is a 24-year-old makeup artist, hairstylist, and model from Los Angeles. She made a sultry entrance on the show, saying, 'I'm serving looks, I'm serving personality' before declaring, 'the baddie is here.' Woodworth (pictured right), 26, lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. He didn't disclose his profession, but he has a strong presence on Instagram and TikTok where he shares snapshots of his life and travels. 'When I'm in a relationship, I'm locked in,' Woodworth said on Love Island, adding that he wants to find someone to 'take over the world with.'

Coca-Cola rival shares wild new Amazon partnership
I am not averse to paying a premium subscription price for a streaming service if it means I get to skip the 30-second commercials spliced into movies and TV shows. Yet I have happily watched some of the unboxing videos that fill my social media feed, even if the person is oohing and ahhing over something I have no intention of purchasing. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Perhaps it's because those unboxing videos evoke the excitement of opening presents on one's birthday or Christmas morning. Or maybe it's the soothing sound of rustling boxes or fingernails clicking on products (yes, I admit it's relaxing). Related: Coca-Cola makes biggest bet in 133 years Apparently, I'm not alone. YouTube alone has clocked around 4.8 billion views per year for unboxing videos, according to data from Zipdo. Where do all these unboxing videos come from? Celebrities and social media influencers with high follower counts are often sent free, aesthetically pleasing PR packages by brands that encourage them to hit record as they open them. The mission, of course, is to convert those followers to paying customers. Most content creators love getting free stuff, and they love posting about it even more. Brands dedicate staff and budgets to forging these influencer connections. Related: PepsiCo lawsuit alleges company deceived consumers It's not just a shot in the dark, because social media users are giving unboxing videos more than just a cursory glance. The average watch time for unboxing videos is a whopping eight minutes long, per Zipdo. Clearly unboxing videos work - to the tune of 84% of social media users stating that these videos influence their purchasing decisions. And 52% of consumers say they've gone ahead and bought a product after watching a video. Capturing a sale from one out of every two social media users is a pretty big feat. And now one Coca-Cola rival is hoping to find that same success with unboxing videos this summer. Image source: Shutterstock Olipop better-for-you prebiotic sodas contain fiber and just 2-5 grams of sugar per can. Founded in 2018, the company has been valued at $1.85 billion and is the top non-alcoholic brand in the U.S. by dollar sales and unit growth, per Marketing Dive. The big brand has even bigger summer plans. For starters, it's running a "Time Travel Agency" sweepstakes, where entrants can win a stay in a flavor-themed retro motel suite in Austin this summer. It is also teaming up with Amazon Ads to offer 5,000 VIP boxes containing cans of Olipop's most popular flavors, along with a limited-edition cooler tote and a few other summer-related goodies. But there's something unique about the PR swag drop coming on June 30. The boxes cost just five cents (the original price of a soda can, the company says), and they'll be available to anyone who can grab one before supplies run out. More beverage news: Coca-Cola finally brings viral soda mash-upPizza Hut makes big menu change amid startling customer behaviorStruggling brewery, beer scene reaches a sad milestone Why is Olipop going for everyday consumers rather than established influencers? The FAQs on the PR box signup page read: "Because where would we be without our fans? (Answer: absolutely nowhere.) This one's for the people who made us - because you don't need millions of followers to get our attention. Just love for great soda." Olipop is wise to try to stand out from the pre-/probiotic beverage crowd. PepsiCo announced in March that it will proceed with the nearly $2 billion purchase of Poppi, while Coca-Cola went ahead with its own version, called Simply Pop. With that said, watching a video about soda is different than viewing one to see how a lipstick color looks, the way a shirt fits, or even how easy it is to use a gadget. For beverages, you have to rely on the person's reaction to the taste, along with their description of flavors. Related: Upstart nutrition brand rivals Red Bull with unusual energy drink That's why the know-like-trust factor is so important with influencer marketing. But how much of that factor exists with everyday social media users who don't have much of a platform? Considering anyone with a nickel and good timing can get in on Olipop's PR drop, the company's strategy might be expecting too much from unboxing videos this summer. Only time will tell whether this campaign will pop - or if it will be a bust. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.

I'm a Mom of 4 & Here's Why I Think a Meta Quest Is a Summer Parenting Must-Have
If you asked me the best part of my day, you might think my answer is a little ridiculous — but I'm not trying to gatekeep, so here is my confession: I'm an almost-45-year-old mother of four, and I am obsessed with my Meta Quest VR headset. (And yes, it's my Meta Quest headset. I actually bought it for my kids, but commandeered it for myself once I figured out how freaking amazing it is.) Before the pandemic, I taught Zumba for 10 years. When the world shut down, so did the dance studio where I taught … and at first, I floundered. I needed some sort of physical activity in my life, but I'm admittedly not a gym person; if I'm gonna stick to something, I need something that feels fun and empowering — not like a workout, but like I'm building some sort of skill and getting a workout in the process. So I started playing Just Dance on my kids' Nintendo Switch, which I still love. I played it religiously for years, buying each new iteration of the game. But by December of last year, I was ready to incorporate something new. And there was a Meta Quest 3 underneath our Christmas tree — our big 'group gift' for the kids. Little did I know that it would become just as much of a gift to me! More from SheKnows This Teen Organized a Roblox Protest Against ICE For Other Kids Who Were Too Young Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you'll love as much as we do. Meta is a SheKnows sponsor, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale. I discovered the Meta Quest VR game Supernatural: Unreal Fitness during Christmas break, and OMG. I am dead serious when I tell you that six months in, I try not to miss a single day of Supernatural, with the exception of a few days here and there when I'm sick or busy (or, let's be real, just feeling lazy). It has two types of workouts: boxing, and flow, which is a lower-intensity session where you hit targets with sabers (if you've ever played Beat Saber, it's kinda like that). Both boxing and flow are set to music, and you can find a playlist for every type of taste: country, rap, EDM, rock, whatever moves you. You can also choose your intensity, so you can challenge yourself without feeling overwhelmed. It's also an amazing workout — I consider myself physically fit, having worked out almost-daily for the better part of two decades, but it still leaves me standing in a puddle of sweat that I have to mop up with my T-shirt between rounds (hey, I didn't say I look glamorous doing it). Best of all, it's leveled up the muscle definition in my arms to a degree that nothing else ever has — which I didn't expect, but is obviously a huge bonus. $499 Buy Now I also love that there's a community attached to Supernatural. In the game and the app, you can track your progress and cheer on others' progress, which helps keep me motivated and accountable. You can do a group workout if you want to switch things up (I do at least one of those every day). And I love every single one of the coaches — Coach Doc, Coach Leanne, Coach Raneir, Coach Mindy, Coach Mark, and Coach Dwana. They each bring their own style and brand of encouragement to their workouts. I totally fangirled the other day when I messaged Coach Leanne on Instagram and she actually answered! Squeeee! Of course, as much as I adore Supernatural (you know, in case you couldn't tell) it's not the only thing I love about the Meta Quest. No matter what you're playing, it's a completely immersive environment, like you're standing in the middle of some cool, exotic locale, and it's absolutely breathtaking. I've 'been to' the Erta Ale volcano in Ethiopia, Chile's Atacama Desert, Iceland's Blue Lagoon, the Great Wall of China, and more — and that's just in Supernatural. But I've also sat in a secluded cartoon cave, where lush foliage sparkling with water droplets adorns the walls, and the only sound is the tranquil pond around me — and on a sunny beach surrounded by softly rustling palm trees. Those locales are in my other favorite VR game, Bait!, which is an animated game where your mission is to catch certain types of fish — it's oddly relaxing, but when I want to liven things up a little, I can compete with my kids in multiplayer mode (on the other Meta Quest headset I bought them when I stole theirs). And when I want to take my relaxation seriously, there's Tripp: a super-immersive meditation app that has the coolest guided meditations, breathing and focus exercises, and just really amazing virtual spaces that take 'zoning out' to the next level. But, I'm also a mom whose kids are home for the summer, and as much as I love using the Meta Quest to completely check out, there are also times when I need to answer important questions like 'Who's at the door this time?!' and 'What was that bang?' and 'Why do I smell burning?!' Which is why the Meta Quest's 'passthrough mode' is a busy mom's bestie — you can literally just tap on the side of the headset when you need to see what's going on in the real world, and get a real-time view of what's happening in your surroundings without even taking off the headset. Of course, I do have to share 'my' Meta Quest — because my kids love playing as much as I do, and yes, even my teenagers still enjoy it. That's another reason I'm such a fan: It may technically be a screen, but it gets them up, moving, and connecting — with each other, and even with their long-distance friends back in Iowa, where we used to live. I say 'no' to a lot of things, but when my kids ask for a new Meta Quest game, they know their odds are pretty good. Is that because I'll probably end up playing it more than they do? … Well, the odds of that are pretty good too.
