I don't think I've ever written a holiday post with pictures on the actual holiday. Actually, lately, I'm lucky if I ever even write a holiday post at all. Recall seeing a Halloween post? Me either. Today that changes. I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving and I just really wanted to share. Honestly, there isn't anything I love more than getting to be with my family. I have a ton of Aunts, Uncles and cousins on my moms side and truly, we all love spending time together. There's nothing but love when we're all under the same roof. We gathered at my grandparents old house, just like old times. Even though both grandparents have passed, we are blessed to still have the house in the family.
It wouldn’t be a true Tuesday 10 if I didn’t whine about my first world issues. You guys. I’m about to simultaneously run out of my 3 most-used lip glosses/colors at THE SAME TIME and all of them have been DISCONTINUED. Whyyyy why do they do this? About 6 months ago, I already started looking around for a replacement for one of the stains and I still have yet to even come close. I may honestly never be the same when that last usage of my Estee Lauder Lip Stain happens. In other first world-ish news, let me just say that my trip to Jamaica was way awesome.

Something I can’t stand lately is all the pressure I’m getting about putting my son into sports. When did T-ball and soccer become a staple in the lives of our 3 year olds?

I personally don’t think it’s going to make or break a kid if he or she wasn’t into sports, along with 27 other extra activities when they were 3 years old; and I hate that just because I have a son, everyone is expecting him to play T-ball or something of that manner by the time he starts kindergarten. Here is my short and simple philosophy – they have the rest of their lives to be busy. Just look at how busy your life is as an ad
I’d rather poke out my own eye with a sharp object than take my kid/toddler into a store like Hallmark or Pier One. I don’t care how behaved you think your child is or how behaved you think mine seems to be, you couldn’t pay me enough to walk through or browse any one of those stores with my 4yr old. The potential mess and out of order-ness he would make of the greeting cards and then the hand prints on the glass shelving, omg I’m having anxiety just playing it out in my head. NOPE. Anything or any facility that doesn’t have a drive thru. When you have multiple children to get in and out of a car seat just to go into the post office for less than a minute, you look back at those 3 munchkins
