FROM PRESENT OVER PERFECT

“Let’s live lightly, freely, courageously, surrounded only by what brings joy, simplicity, and beauty..."
 
In-laws in town, so today we explored the UWS: @americanmuseumofnaturalhistory (my favorite!), @shakeshack, @levainbakery, the Dakota building, Strawberry Fields in @centralparknyc—the last two are required stops for all Beatles fans, & we have several among us. :) We just love this city. ❤️

Aaron’s advice to our boys: “Boys, find someone who loves you the way Pepper loves Mom’s slippers.” :) . . . . (slippers are @jcrew, rug is the Aina from @joybird.)
What we learned last night: New Yorkers really know how to ring in a new year! And you absolutely can have dinner— & a serious dance party—for 20 people in an 800 sq ft apartment. :) We invited some of our favorite NY friends over & invited them into two of our favorite traditions: the breakfast-for-dinner pajama party & the sharing of the last year’s greatest blessings on NYE. And because there would be a zillion kids & this is not my first rodeo, I proposed a totally fake countdown at TEN PM—smart mom move, right? @timschraeder brought my favorite champagne. @michaelrudzena brought killer doughnuts. @kategungor brought brownies & bacon. @kyndirudzena brought me a sheet mask for the morning—genius!—& invited us to consider our intentions for the year to come. We ate eggs & hash browns & biscuits, we drank champagne & sparkling cider. We shared blessings & intentions & raised our glasses to each other & to the future...and then my fake countdown plan went out the window & we all danced till 1am, thanks @davidgungor‘s superior dj skills & the disco ball night light that Santa put in Mac’s stocking. :) My intention for 2019: way, way more dancing. ❤️

So many things to smile about: family time, boat rides, the smell of rum & saltwater, the ongoing hunt for the very best conch fritters. :) 🇧🇸
