Ariel Childs, mother of Daphne, 5.
What she does: Development Director for Wink Media
Which means: She comes up with creative advertising ideas for global companies and her travels bring her to Asia.
Where she lives: In the up-and-coming London neighborhood, Kensal Rise
What she makes for breakfast: [PHOTO] Soft-boiled eggs and soldiers and a smear of ketchup.
The bag she can’t with without: [PHOTO] A Porter corduroy bag that fits over the shoulder and is just the right size: Big enough to fit mom and kid essentials but not too big that she overstuffs.
Her uniform: [PHOTO] A form-fitting blazer and a high-waisted wide-legged jean that she pairs with clogs or a heel depending on the occasion.
Relationship Ritual: Ariel and her husband Paul don’t go out for date night. Instead, they eat dinner together every night after putting their daughter to bed–after having sat with her while she eats her meal. While we are huge proponents of the family dinner, we love the way that they prioritize their relationship. They both have demanding jobs that require travel and this is how they stay connected. This nightly ritual means that they really know the details of eachother’s days.
