The post was shared yesterday and gives Bullock's followers a taste of what she's been up to over the past weeks. Plenty of the photos show her in an area filled with greenery. She kicks off the post with a photo of herself, standing at the entrance of her home alongside her cute dog, Sweetie. 

More images show Bullock alongside her friend Jason Bateman, and she also shared a look at her computer setup for her appearance on Bateman's "Smartless" podcast, featuring a photo of her laptop stacked on top of large books, with a mic and headphones wired to it. She also included a photo of her parents' graves, tagging her sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado. 

Bullocks' kids are seen from behind, enjoying a walk amid nature. Louis is 16 while Laila is 12. She concludes the post with a photo of Sweetie sprawled on top of the couch, and a photo of a DQ dessert cup. "Friends, family, fun, fishies, furries, aaaand work," she captioned the post.

Bullock on how she prioritizes her kids

Sandra Bullock has opened up about her desire to prioritize her children at this point in her life. She revealed that her awaited movie "Practical Magic 2," coming out later this year, ultimately happened because she could fit it into her schedule as a mom. 

“I made this film at this time because I knew my kids were out of school. I’m not going to sacrifice my children’s — my time — with my kids,” she said in an interview with CNBC Changemakers Summit, as reported by PEOPLE

“They’d be happy if I was gone. I would not. It’s true. And I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something and I can’t facilitate it.”

“I’m raising my children, not anybody else. But I have the luxury of doing that in this business. So many people don’t,” Bullock said. “And I understand that grief and that angst when you are at work, going, ‘I’m not where I need to be right now. I’m here being performative and doing my job.’ But guess what? Women can do it. We can do 15 things at one time and get it done.”
