My Life in Pictures
I have two cover stories on the newsstand this month. I interviewed the talented (and fellow dog lover) @lanacondor for @bust_magazine. And I wrote a big feature for @real_simple about great neighbors across America. The last few months have been consumed by work, so it’s especially sweet to see my stories in the wild.
We had a beautiful day at @farmsanctuary, celebrating Valentine’s Day with some wonderful rescued farm animals. The gentleness of the animals matched with my daughters’ gentle touches. The last time I was here, I was pregnant with them. It’s amazing to see their love of animals grow since that first pre-visit four years ago. 💗
I went to my first #womenssoulcircle led by @leadwithangelaaguirre. It was truly transformative, hearing and sharing stories from a place of vulnerability, no judgement, and compassion. Thanks to @creestalina for nudging me to go. The power of women coming together is amazing. 🙌🏼
Tomorrow, we’re going to Chloe & Claire’s preschool to make dumplings 🥟 for the Lunar New Year 🧧. We made mushroom, tofu, and cabbage dumplings for dinner tonight. It’s their first time making dumplings and they turned out great. Dumplings represent good fortune. My little chefs are full of plenty of 🥟!
I’m thrilled to share that in the January 2020 issue of @real_simple, I have a feature story about helping children get along. It’s an idea that tugged at me when #MeToo came out and I wanted to bridge the gap so my children had ways to develop healthy friendships. I also got a chance to look at children’s literature that I felt reflected great friendships too. I’m proud of this piece and I hope it inspires conversations in families.
