Life Lately

December 27, 2021

Obligatory Times Square photo The Whitney at sunset was 😍😍 A lovely day exploring Little Island, Chelsea Market, and the Highline. India’s travel outfit yesterday was fashion goals but also probably could have gotten her access to work with the flight maintenance crew. After a lot of pivoting, stressing, and hand-wringing, we arrived in New York just in time for a Christmas dinner of takeout pizza. This long-planned trip, along with a number of broadway play tickets, was . . .

So proud of this girl! Her first time back on the stage since the pandemic and she did such a great job of expressing herself, even in a mask. I’m loving seeing the kids get to do theater again. Gotta love a kid casually rolling up to school in a tux because he has a choir performance later in the day. He wasn’t thrilled with me playing paparazzi but I love it. All of it. Giddy he decided to be in choir this year. Packing up our holiday cards today. I went with the one you guys voted on . . .

A picturesque evening stroll and snowy morning in Zurich before heading home. Last sunset in Portugal. We had a lovely meal of tapas across from a monastery with the boys. Swipe to see where the basic bitches ate lunch across the street. 😬   Looking at potential real estate in Sintra. #futureexpats #needsabiggermoat Yesterday we split up girls vs. boys. The girls and I went shopping. The stores here feel like downtown Disneyland. Everything is gorgeous right down to the . . .

  An appreciation post of Claire’s faces. @cleezy A few months ago I had the honor of reading a chapter in my friend Rachel Held Evan's book of her last writing before her death. It was incredibly emotional to read her words, particularly the passages I was given, and I had to stop several times along the way to compose myself (if you listen to the audiobook, you will probably hear me fighting back tears.) What a devastating loss to the world. What a friend, who I miss dearly. And . . .

    Happy Halloween!   The dude abides.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) There are many things I love about these girls but our shared value of charcuterie and wine as acceptable meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner is definitely a bonus. . . .

  This crazy kid played a water polo game at 4 and then a football game at 7. Their team had another win, and if you know the history of this team, all these wins are a BIG deal. It’s been a few years since they had even one. (Jafta missed playing in tonight’s game because he had a midterm in his college class womp womp).

Homecoming cuties. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) A little birthday brag on this girl today. She's a freshman in high school this year and spent her summer taking her first college class (humanities) before even taking her first high school class. This summer she was also in Spring Awakening - the youngest in her cast and such an amazing production and . . .
