This yr, like final yr, my objective is to take some snapshots of my feminine pals with their kids. I LOVE seeing moms in photos, and it’s enjoyable to attempt to seize candy, unposed moments. I’ve advised my good friend Claire that I’d wish to be her private Pete Souza.
I lastly watched Ali Wong’s new comedy particular, Single Lady, 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 lately — a gallon of milk lasts only some days — so yesterday we made Ghirardelli boxed brownies as a snack. I’d forgotten how wealthy, chewy, and scrumptious they’re. Undoubtedly the very best boxed brownies in the marketplace. (Agree/disagree?)
With reference to readers’ winter outfits, London-based Sumaya despatched in a submission at the moment: “I wait all yr to put on my conventional velvet Kashmiri pheran. They was once thought of fairly old school, however now they’re fashionable with Kashmiris dwelling out and in of Kashmir, and that makes me so completely happy. They’re meant to be layered, so I pair mine with attire, denims, coats, something. My son wears his with a hoodie and Uggs. They usually all have POCKETS!”
Personally, and far much less colorfully, I’ve been into carrying a number of 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. (Here’s a similar pair with extra sizing.)
