The timing never lined up for this woman's parents to meet her future husband's parents—so naturally, have them meet on Thanksgiving.

If there is one thing that I am excited about when I become a mom, is to dress my kids in cute and stylish outfits. I am in no way a fashionable person, but there is something that seems so fun in dressing your own tiny baby, and I just know I'll do a good job.

I fully support the idea that people should be 100% themselves when they are around their loved ones. There should be absolutely no reason for couples to feel uncomfortable around each other, or feel like they shouldn't show their true colors to their significant other.

If at that stage, something is still not right between the couple, there is…
