I think it's important to weed, or at least distance yourself, from people that aren't going to support and love you. The tribe you have, family or friends, is the one that right for you. It's taken me many years, and still working, to be okay that one side of the family just gives a lot more than the other. Lucca is lucky to have the people he has and as he grows he will pull people into that tribe too, thus changing, strengthening and making it bigger.

Don't get me wrong I love Christmas but it the importance of it can sometimes get away on me.

I am fortunate that we had that upbringing for myself and my hubby because it is what I wanted for my son. Unfortunately, as my family is spread across different cities, when my son was born, it was hard to develop the relationships further because of distance. My parents are the only one that showed up and it truly broke my heart for my little guy. And that's why there was a lot of weeding out that happened before I started this blog to ensure that the people in our lives are the ones that will care for Lucca as if he was their own. So as small as my tribe is I am grateful because I know it's not the quantity but the quality that counts. I love this post and you have a beautiful family. <br /><br />Maureen | www.littlemisscasual.comMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760995134206921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181574655999077204.post-16996262365927775612018-10-10T11:58:25.389-07:002018-10-10T11:58:25.389-07:00I wish my family, especially my extended family wa...I wish my family, especially my extended family was bigger!
