PK ON INSTAGRAM

I don't know if you've been paying much attention to @barbie lately, but with a 6-year-old daughter, I kinda have to. Full of positive messages about career aspirations, social media behavior, and general kindness, I'm actually pretty happy that Sommer likes playing with Barbie. And when my friends at @mattel asked me to make costumes based on their popular career dolls, there was no hesitation. . Here is the first of the series, featuring my daughter Sommer as a scientist. Sommer was so excited to be #twinsies with this doll, and she was very deliberate in helping mix the blue "potion" in the plastic lab flask to match Barbie's. .

There really aren’t many craft supplies i love more than pom-poms! And so there’s nothing better in #october than #pompoms + #pumpkins 🎃 (photo by @danetashima for @parents)
I have finally learned the secret of making the perfect #cakepop (well, there are a few)! Click the link in my profile to learn how to make these sweet little #pumpkins on @therealbluprint. #jackolantern #cakepops 🎃
One of my biggest goals in life is to raise this child with a sense of who she is, what she craves, and how to get it. Teaching her that she deserves it all is step numero uno. #internationaldayofthegirl #imthegirlyoudontwanttomesswith 🙌🏻🌈👊🏼 Painting by @katja.tukiainen

This little 🦔 #diycostume stole my heart last year! We made it from pasta. Yeah—that’s it! Pasta hot-glued to a hoodie. When me moved around, he sounded like a cool musical instrument! Click the link for the how-to!
If you want, you can hollow out a pumpkins, cut some triangle eyes and stick a candle inside. Or you can treat your pumpkin like a blank canvas and give it a #litebright makeover. . 🎃 by moi, 📷 by @danetashima, styling by @pammorris, from @parents magazine.
One of my favorite parts of the event that I did with @jcrew #crewcuts and @heymamaco was the custom vinyl shapes we designed for the floor. We thought about leading the kids down a color path, but then I preferred the idea that they chart their own way around the store, hopping from action prompt to action prompt on shapes that look like oversized confetti. I’d say the most popular circle was “ #floss like you mean it” but my personal fave was “eat an invisible ice cream cone” or “tell a knock-knock joke,” positioned at the register to hopefully keep the #crewcuts crew entertained. I feel like this was the 2018 #ProjectKid version of #simonsays. 🌈
Our #glamping weekend with dear friends could not have come at a better time! @camprockaway was a total escape from our routine, and was just 30 minutes away from our home in Brooklyn. Makes me feel like I basically live in a beach town! #camprockaway #farrockaway #jacobriisbeach #jacobriis #fallbeachday #childhoodunplugged
