Here’s How Our Little Modern Family Is Celebrating Thanksgiving

I will always do my best to find positive in a negative situation. I try to always find the proverbial silver lining – and while not everyone is like me, I know that it personally helps me get through the harder days. And boy oh boy, there’s been a few of those in 2020.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I realized that this year has been pretty extraordinary – and so to celebrate and give thanks for what we have, Julio, Catherine, Canela & I are going to celebrate in an extraordinary way. Because we deserve it, and so do you.

I’ve done the big thanksgiving, cooking over a hot stove for dozens of family members. And don’t get me wrong, I love every minute of it. But this year I have come to accept that maybe it’s time to let someone else do it for me so that I can be present and enjoy every minute with the people I love most in my life.
