The decor arriving the day after the party is the kind of thing that would make my head explode. Combine that with no fireworks from the neighbors, and I would spontaneously combust. My point? You are a far better woman than I. And those desserts are amazing! How does that cake look like a flag inside?!

This is so wonderful! Thank you for recognizing that the struggle with body image often doesn't have an end, and the beginning is sometimes uncertain. You are doing an important thing here. Sometimes we are just so hard on ourselves as women, mothers, wives, humans. It's vital to embrace the good. Thank you.
