We’ve decided to do more exploring of LA as we wait this pandemic out. (We have nothing else to do!) Last night we explored Echo Park ... we did a food crawl (empanadas and taco trucks and farmers market snacks and açaí bowls and cinnamon buns) and we wandered into book stores and sneaker shops and cursed our luck at the thrift store closing just as we arrived. Then we hit up this little spot across town for the ‘gram. What neighborhood should we explore next? View . . .

Hone and happy with the smell of beach bonfire in our hair. Making the most of warm winter days View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton (@kristenhowerton) Almost a year into learning to do everyone’s hair in this house, including my own very white roots, and my bathroom looks like I am ready to open a salon.

Happy 16th to my tall, talented, kind, hilarious, loyal, empathetic, athletic, sarcastic, and adventurous son. @jaftahowerton you have weathered the storms of a hard year with humor and hard work (and a killer GPA !) You are an amazing big brother and friend and you are so loved. I am so proud of the young man you are becoming and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

  Crowding the #millionmagamarch feed with pancakes is petty goals. Hit like to push this to the top.       This was fun on twitter. Let's try it here. I'll go first: one-piece swimsuits, guys in skinny jeans and deep v-necks, Dollywood, spanking your kids in 2020, smoking hot wives, marriage conferences, boho fedoras . . . Trying to catch a ride on the wind with a skateboard and an umbrella. 😍😍   So the $500 used Subzero I found on Craigslist just . . .

Getting our early holiday vibes on! We got to be part of a listening party for Straight No Chaser’s new Christmas album. I think this will be on heavy rotation in our house. Thank you @alphamom! (And @tiffstreats for the cookies!) @sncmusic #SocialChristmasing 👹 Everyone calm down. Jason is a white woman. Draco + Jojo Why does Karis look like a pumpkin murderer? Monday!! Have you joined our parenting in a pandemic support group? Come join us! It's a safe spot to talk, vent, and . . .

  I'm ordering our holiday cards this week. Which ones should we choose? @Minted has some funny options and also some that are more artsy. We went with funny last year (because Jafta had a broken arm) but Lord knows this year needs some humor too. (And yes. I do this really early every year. Because I generally find the holiday season and stressful and this is one thing I can get out of the way in advance.) Shout-out to @stevecowell_photo who took this photos that I adore! . . .
