In this last pic, Char Bar has collided with my lipstick for the third time, staining her clothes. And I'm handling it with my usual grace and equanimity. Granted, a makeup malfunction is a bogus thing to bemoan -- especially considering my sister missed Thanksgiving because her youngest was sick. But in that moment, my micro-misfortune was magnified, blocking out all thoughts except momlife is hard.
Three slices of pie later, I was feeling more zen. So much so that I remembered something. Five Thanksgivings ago, I was gearing up to start fertility testing, which I started but never finished. The whole thing made me panicky, and I decided it wasn't meant to be. And now here I was with this beautiful baby. Sure, she snatched my bookmarks and deprived me of sleep and flung her pears on the floor. But I loved her more than anything and couldn't imagine life without her.
So Charlotte, you're what I'm thankful for, this Thanksgiving and every Thanksgiving after.
Also that for Christmas you can wear red, camouflaging the lipstick.

Oh, one of the best Thanksgiving stories I've read! Here's to much happiness everyday! Adoring your Holiday fits and decor! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛I guess I am on my 3rd face claim for Matty..but I just can't help it. Milo Manheim! It is getting a bit harder with a real RP player wanting to play with my OCs..but I will keep going.
Your Thanksgiving looked like it was so vibrant and fun!! The décor and your amazing outfit is oh-so Thanksgiving and autumnal (the photo of you with the red coat hanging off your shoulder - wow!!) I adore the photo op next to the autumn tree painting, too. Your family photos are so cute, and the last one especially captures the "hey, stuff happens!" feel that can happen on holidays, and any day, really. I love how you wrapped up this post with a big serving of gratitude and reminding us all to remember the big picture, when we get caught up in our own micro-misfortunes. So thank you!! 🤎🧡❤️
