The expression on your dad's face is amazing, with the slightest hint of amusement. Conveys: "I completely love β€” and genuinely like β€” this woman!"

I love this so much- I want to be looked at the way your dad is checking out your mom. πŸ₯Ή Also - I felt what you said about not sewing costumes..same! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ My kid had store-bought costumes and she often took store-bought baked goods to school for parties, and she turned out just fine. We all have our lanes, and mine was knowing when to tag the experts into the ring and let them handle shit for awhile!

I would so love it if everyone who read your amazingly sweet post would come to the comments and read this update. I always think that the stories really unfold in the comments, and you just prove me right about that. Beautiful!
