"Nothing cuter than taking the girls to see @oliviarodrigo what a fun time ❤️," Ashlee captioned the carousel, which featured a photo of Jagger posing with her friends, a snapshot of the group posing with the "drivers license" singer and a video of the little girl and her friends singing along while watching Rodrigo, 21, perform onstage.

In June, Simpson Ross spoke with PEOPLE about how she juggles parenting three kids of different ages, noting that she's been able to rely on past experience to help her smaller kids.

"I have every different age. Every time I can be like, 'I've been there, we've been there. Now it's my 3-year-old,' " Simpson Ross shared. "But it's amazing. Everyone is their own individual self and has their own personality and it's really nice."

"Everyone's going through something different. My oldest son's going to be 16, my daughter is 8. She's all into the music and my old music, Olivia Rodrigo, all the things. And then my 3-year-old's in there dancing and being hilarious and entertaining himself. It really actually works out. It's a nice balance."
