Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. For so many years we have traveled to be with family or we’ve hosted friendsgivings and family and this year, due to Covid-19... we stayed home. We isolated. And we laughed until we cried, we lounged in pajamas, and we made less food than ever... and it was delicious and wonderful and fun and we made memories ❤️ sending love to each of y’all and to your families far and wide.

My life changed completely on 11/18/03. That was the day I became a mom, and it’s been the most amazing adventure since then. @liv.matthews_ , you’re more than I ever dreamed of or could have hoped for. You are unique, talented, kind, strong, compassionate, loving, fierce, independent, and awe inspiring. I love you beyond all things.... 11/18/2020 Happy 17th birthday my darling girl.
