This 12 months, like final 12 months, my aim is to take some snapshots of my feminine mates with their kids. I LOVE seeing mothers in images, and it’s enjoyable to attempt to seize candy, unposed moments. I’ve advised my good friend Claire that I’d prefer 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 occasions. “I’ve by no means been pursued this a lot in my life,” she mentioned. “Boys, they by no means appreciated 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 desire a man that’s been pre-yelled at.” So good.
My boys eat SO MUCH nowadays — 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. Positively one of the best boxed brownies in the marketplace. (Agree/disagree?)
With reference to readers’ winter outfits, London-based Sumaya despatched in a submission at this time: “I wait all 12 months to put on my conventional velvet Kashmiri pheran. They was once thought of fairly old school, however now they’re fashionable with Kashmiris residing out and in of Kashmir, and that makes me so blissful. 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 plenty of tender 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 model — and I discover myself pulling them on a number of occasions every week. (Right here’s the same pair with extra sizing.)
