Our very first family photo. 👨👩👧👦
It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada, and as I think about the many things I'm thankful for, there is only one true standout -- my plate of food in slide 3 😅. ➡️
It was frighin delicious. Thank you . 🙏🏼
But after that! ☝🏼-- my amazing, loving and caring family was right there..to hand me some pie. And I love pie. And I love them for that pie. So thank you. 😘
I'll be serious at some point.
The truth is I don't know how I got so lucky in this life. My sister and I didn't have the most normal childhood growing up, and things could have been very very different. But we made sure not to repeat the mistakes of the past, but instead learn from them. So that years later we could live the lives we've always wanted.
With 2 kids, my own one-man business and broader family responsibilities, I'm as exhausted as I ever have been. At the same time, though, I'm the most GRATEFUL I ever have been for these same reponsibilities.
The truth is one day we won't be busy, and when that day comes we will miss the chaos that life gifted us when we had it. So I'm thankful for the busyness. I'm thankful for the chaos. And yes, I'm thankful for my family over last night's dinner. 🙏🏼
That dinner was a close second though.. 💛
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
