We barely have photos of us together anymore, but here’s photo proof that your heart can expand and explode more than you ever thought possible. Thanks for toting our piccolina around town, loving her with stars in your eyes, and being a true partner so I can chase after what I want, too. And for letting me sleep as much as possible. On another note, my grandparents used to send us Valentine’s cards with $5 in them, and a little note signed, “Love, Pop-Pop and Dub-Dub” - I love this holiday celebrating all the LOVE!
Thanks for being the best sister (and aunt!) ever my smooth little hurricane Bit @maggie.fitzsimmons - Love visiting you in your London home. #diaperbag #drugdealhappening
One of the most stunning hotel suites I have seen: the Hermès suite at @milestone_hotel - decorated with vintage Hermès scarves, lacquered Art Deco-style cabinets, and a private balcony looking over to Kensington Palace. This one is for you @amherrera #milestonehotel
Came to London, lost Sophie. (In the fierce Meghan Markle suite! Normally kids aren’t allowed, but we snuck her in quickly.) @milestone_hotel
This woman is a breath of fresh air and full of great ideas! We❤️ Lauren! @aspiringkennedy not pictured: @tylerdknight
Tiny neighborhood French restaurant of my dreams. #hampstead #london
Thinking pink in London. She loves that Maya & Ella wore this before her! @kirstenmagen
We document Sophie’s first visit to a London pub. Not above singing “Snuggle Puppy” in public places to stop a mini meltdown. Walked from Hampstead down to Primrose Hill and through Regent’s Park - beautiful day!
Kicking off a few days in London with a proper Sunday roast. @maggie.fitzsimmons @cjack212
This is beyond. My friend & colleague @kokobo CREATED A CREST (!!) for us - with vintage monogrammed A’s, a cactus for my home state of Arizona, edelweiss for Alex’s home country of Switzerland, the Brooklyn Bridge for our current home (and where we had one of our very first dates), a suitcase for our shared lifelong love of travel, A CUSTOM PORTRAIT of Rocco, and our Sophie Lyons completing it! Thank you so much, Korena - you are so talented!
My favorite street in Brooklyn Heights feels like 1850, because most of the houses are circa then. Feels like you’ll see Walt Whitman strolling around, or someone stumbling drunk out of a tavern. I’ve walked Rocco here for years, and now Sophie. Neither of them care. But it’s so lovely. —  Middagh Street
This much-Instagrammed shot should have Smell-o-Vision: fresh pencils!! NYC still has a lot of unique shops (alongside the Duane Reades & banks) and I always mention three: Tender Buttons (full of...buttons!), Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks, and this place: CW Pencil Enterprise. A store stocked with pencils. Don’t ask if they have pens. 
Artists love it, of course. (Like my talented friend @kokobo) But apparently they have a huge fan base from lawyers and musicians AND a “surprising following in dentistry” (one of the pencils can be used to make marks on teeth during dental work 🙄) Definitely worth a stop on the Lower East Side.
