This yr, like final yr, my aim is to take some snapshots of my feminine buddies with their kids. I LOVE seeing mothers in images, and it’s enjoyable to attempt to seize candy, unposed moments. I’ve informed my buddy Claire that I’d wish to be her private Pete Souza.
I lastly watched Ali Wong’s new comedy particular, Single Woman, on courting after divorce, and omg I laughed 1000 instances. “I’ve by no means been pursued this a lot in my life,” she mentioned. “Boys, they by no means preferred me rising up. Within the ’90s, in highschool, guys, they weren’t into charismatic A cups.” These days she solely dates divorced dads as a result of “I need a man that’s been pre-yelled at.” So good.
My boys eat SO MUCH today — a gallon of milk lasts just a few days — so yesterday we made Ghirardelli boxed brownies as a snack. I’d forgotten how wealthy, chewy, and scrumptious they’re. Undoubtedly the perfect boxed brownies in the marketplace. (Agree/disagree?)
As regards to readers’ winter outfits, Boston-based Sumaya despatched in a submission as we speak: “I wait all yr to put on my conventional velvet Kashmiri pheran. They was thought of fairly old style, however now they’re well-liked with Kashmiris residing out and in of Kashmir, and that makes me so pleased. They’re meant to be layered, so I pair mine with attire, denims, coats, something. My son wears his with a hoodie and Uggs. And so they all have POCKETS!”
Personally, and far much less colorfully, I’ve been into sporting numerous gentle browns. These pants get at the least three compliments each time I put on them — the match is basically nice, with a slight barrel leg and utility fashion — and I discover myself pulling them on a number of instances every week. (Right here’s the same pair with extra sizing.)
What have you ever been into these days?
