I'm pretty wordy, but words fail me a lot when it comes to my admiration for you. You are the epitome of strength. There's literally no other way to describe it. I simply cannot imagine beating cancer, then working my ass off tirelessly to learn how to fight against it for others, while having a marriage, a family, and a job, in one of the toughest goddamn cities on the face of earth. It's like you're made out of steel, but with this indestructible center that's warm and enveloping. You would give anything for the people you care about, I've seen you do it. You are inspiration, for us, for your children, for fucking EVERYONE. I think someone needs to tell you this every day.
I couldn't have said it better myself. And yes, I could use a few kind words today!
Jen, you are so undeniably sweet. You pop into so many threads and posts with tons of love and support without fail. I absolutely adore you. You're another working mom that continues to amaze me all the time. You sometimes have to go to work and leave your DH and J behind, and I know that can be hard on you, but you just charge ahead with it, make the best of the time, and give the best you can to your family. I'm so glad you are here, and I know I will eventually get to meet you to make up for missing my chance!
You make me cry. Thank you. And my boss is going back to Nashville for a conference, and I'm not invited. It made me very sad!!!!
I'd take one, but I am pretty new. I will give you one though! I think you are such a sweet person. You are always so supportive to everyone and it's really admirable.
Okay, first off, it goes without saying, you slayed everyone here today with your brilliant comment in the Alicia Silverstone thread. Even if that was the only post you ever made, you deserve like ten compliments.
But it's not the only post you've ever made. You've come here, jumped in with both feet, and opened up about yourself and your family, and given us an opportunity to add another supportive and caring member to our little family here. You have beautiful babies, a fabulous sense of humor, and truly, you've been so kind to so many of us lately that I know I'm not the only one happy and grateful you joined us. You've got a shiny new star that proves you're stuck with us!
I don't want a compliment, but I just wanted to say how thoughtful and awesome you are. Love you, M!
Over 32,000 posts and think of how many of those have been you being so kind, loving, and wonderful to us all. No matter what, we can all count on Trudy to reply to our thread with something sweet, something stylish, something funny, something honest. You are the board sweetheart, with very good reason. But that's just the surface. You inspire us all with your dedication to Violet. Tirelessly, you and B searched every nook and crony for what was best for your daughters, both of them, no expense spared, no minute wasted. Your husband works hard, and you work hard at home juggling everything from therapies to the perfect outfit. It's not trivial, it's admirable. You love the perfect portrait, and your family is just that. Not just on film, but in reality. There's so much love there, so many details. It's a perfectly coordinated life, all thanks to you.

Oh my gosh, you know how hormonal I am! Legit tears are threatening the waterproof capabilities of my iPhone, lol. That was so beyond thoughtful and sweet, thank you. I had a shitty family growing up and it makes me feel wonderful to think that maybe with this new family I've created we're actually doing something right. Love you, you're amazing.
Like I often wonder if you are a real person and not some incredible ploy to make me want more children. No, but really. I cannot believe how seamless you make motherhood look. Four boys beautiful beyond measure, and you make it look like a walk in the park. Awesome isn't the right word, because its meaning is diluted by frequent use. But that's what you are. You leave so many of us in awe because you are confident, grounded, and unwavering. You're also honest and sarcastic, which equals hilarious. I know you don't love emotional diatribes, so I'll leave it at that. I can't wait to meet you.

I wonder this too!
I just want to add that I saw you in the OOTD thread and you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Cream, you are so eloquent and caring. I am always in awe of how much thought and sincerity you put in your posts. This board is so fortunate to have you.

Cream, you are a class act. I hope you truly understand how well respected and loved you are by all on this board. I may be fairly new, but you've had a profound impact on me and how I view and react to things.

Why so wet? Because I read this thread. I heart you missy and you are one that often sleighs me with your humor and sharp wit. I think anyone else would burn up several months worth of niceness with a thread like this but you seem to have found a never ending supply of sincerity, grace, and support.
You've had an incredibly rough few years, and many bouts of heartache that might have broken a lesser person. But you persevere, for your girls, to give them the very best you can. You're passionate and straightforward, and true to your convictions, even if it isn't the popular majority. I'm happy to see you settling into happiness and seemingly finding what it is you've been looking for after such a tumultuous year. I know you'll stay strong and weather whatever storms spring up in the future.
Just wanted to offer you big ((hugs)) cream. You have so many big changes currently going on and in the immediate future that anyone would feel overwhelmed by it. You must be doing so much right, though, because your kids are always smiling and seem so loved and well taken care of. I admire you!
if you have any more compliments to spare ill take one
Cream. you are seriously the sweetest person. You are superwoman, to not only have the energy to take such good care of your kids and husband but then to be so sweet to all of us as well. You make me want to be a better, person and to spread the love and compliments. You are an amazing friend and your kids are so damn lucky to learn how to care about people from the best role model around!
How are you such an awesome person so consistently? You make me want to work towards being a better person. <3
You are so goddamn talented. There is so much you are capable of, and I feel like you move along with this quiet potential for creating beautiful things, and you don't even realize just how amazing you are. With your own two hands you make magic, and I'm constantly taken aback by your capabilities. That, and you are a loyal friend, a dependable confidant, and so incredibly beautiful. I love you and your family so very much. You've always managed to make me smile, make me think, make me want to be kinder, funnier, and more thoughtful. In short, you get me. We have so much in common, and yet there's so much more I want to be and do because of you too.
I can't wait to see you this weekend my dear. You are truly such a kind person. Like I told you a few days ago I kinda sorta wanna squeeze the whole Cream family.

You are so sweet to start this thread. I know I'm not on that much, but I do see how you always seem to have kind words to lift people up when they are having problems. And your kids are adorable!
Everyone else has already said it all. You truly are so kind. You have a beautiful family and you're a fantastic mother. I always find myself chuckling along with a joke or nodding in agreement to the words you have written. This board wouldn't be the same without you. You are adored by many, me included.
You're so sweet to start this thread. You're always thinking of everyone else even when you've got your own stuff going on. Love you, M!
Exactly!
I adore you, Katie. Simply adore you. First, I want to tell you that your openness about your struggles during the newborn days is so touching and real to me, and I can't tell you how much it means to the members of this board who might have otherwise thought they were alone in their feelings. I know it was incredibly hard for you, but your honesty and discussion about it really lifts up a lot of us, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. Second, you are an amazing mom. You work so hard, you do so much to keep L happy and involved with her extended family, you have her in activities. It's genuinely incredible how you manage everything. I know you've been go, go, going lately, and you need a break, and I wish I could give you that. But so many big hugs for all that you do. I hope you know just how lovely you are.
I just wanted to tell you that this thread is amazing. I'm smiling thinking about all the wonderful women we have on this board. And it's such a gift to be able to see everyone in the best possible light as you see them and express so eloquently. You're a class act, creamsiclechica.
I don't need a compliment but I just wanted to say waking up to this thread has put such a smile on my face. M, you always amaze me. With everything you have going on in your life, everything you do in a day, you selflessly use your free moments to share uplifting words with others. You're heart is one in a million. The world really could use more people like you.
