Last day in the city. Brunch and an off-broadway show with some of my favorite people before I head to the airport. Hell yes. ? ? @hadestown Work all day. Show each night. My favorite kind of business trip. ? Dreaming and scheming with two of my favorite bad-asses. @lauramayes@alphamom . . .

Had a blast playing with these guys last night. My feet still hurt. #thecreakyfloors The boys in the neighborhood went for an early morning run. Love this crew. Ready for the sock hop! ?? Color nerds .. . . I'm deciding on a color palette for my blog redesign. Which of these do you like best? Baby sunglasses are lit, bruh. The boys really love being dragged to the theater performances of their sisters and greatly appreciate the rich cultural value of these events, as . . .

Pirate girls change the world. Was talking with a friend yesterday about how you shouldn’t type your kids but I’m super sure Kembe is a 7 and she said “oh, you mean the way he walks through the school and every single kid knows him?” Yep. It’s true. He has the brightest and kindest spirit, has never met a stranger, and walks through the school high-fiving the younger kids. “He’s always so happy” is the most common comment I get about him. (Okay, maybe about his height, too.) He’s the kid . . .

Today, and my first Mother’s Day (with Jafta and pregnant with India). The barrels have changed a bit ... Almost two decades of spending Mother’s Day at @restauranthabana. Cuban food is my happy place. ?? Happy Mother’s Day to those of you navigating relationships with toxic mothers. To those who have had to erect boundaries that leave you ambivalent or alone today. To those who walk down the card aisle for this day and look for something humorous because the . . .

Karis came to me with an idea for her birthday cake. “Do you have a photo of what you want to do?” I asked. “No. It’s all in my head,” she said. Love her creativity! She totally pulled it off. And yes, matching her dress to the cake was ? intentional. I am gutted by the loss of my friend Rachel today. Rachel Held Evans is the smartest person I've ever met. I don't say that with an ounce of hyperbole or exaggeration. She was absolutely the most brilliant thinker I had the pleasure . . .

When you fly home and have to go straight to your school’s “rock star” costume gala and your friends figure out the most low-key, easy group costume ever. #roadies #backstagecrew #imsotired#butwearingcomfortableclothes Me and people whose names start with a J, all cleaned up for the #irisawards. #mom2summit Shop talk and heart talk and maybe a little shit-talk with some of my favorite people in the world. ❤️❤️ #mom2summit Ready to chat podcasting with these lovelies at mom2summit. Yes . . .

Gratuitous cute cousin photos We found the cutest little skate spot/coffee shop last night and had to go back again today. Three of the four insisted they bring their boards on this trip which was interesting (annoying and inconvenient) to navigate on the plane and in our tiny rental car. Feels good to find places to use them. @ridenature Waffle House, then a stroll through a nature preserve, then sorting great-grandma’s buttons and doing a puzzle with grandpa. A simple . . .

Did a little tween room refresh with India today. Swipe left for the “before.” Gallery walls are my love language. Kindness week at school. ❤️❤️ Just feeling really good tonight about the example of active living I’m setting for my kids. ?

India had her last talent show at her elementary school last night and they killed it doing a Spice Girls routine. She’s done solo musical theater numbers for the past few years but really wanted to do something with friends for the last show, and they had so much fun with it. A huge shout-out to her teacher for being such a great sport and popping out as Posh Spice at the end! Here's an announcement that is long overdue . . . I'm writing a book! It will be coming out in the spring of . . .

View this post on Instagram Did anyone else play this in PE growing up? We somehow acquired a parachute and they are having so much fun with it. They made their own “best friends” matching tees. ❤️❤️ @shesgonnalive She’s the one who picked the meatball recipe but I guess she failed to read the part about having to form them with her hands! ?? Over the past few days I’ve been in peak stage-mom mode, . . .
