Before I even begin I want to say a big thank you to my little sister, Vanessa. Without her this would never had happened. She really encouraged this on me years ago and I finally listened. She was the one that put my little blog dreams into a reality. This has been a long time coming. Now I can finally say, welcome to my page!
I tend to have a lot on my mind and want to express my thoughts in writing and I have been doing that very openly on social media. I am only allowed so many words on Instagram so I am usually cut short. Now, with my blog I will be able to share more about my thoughts. I am not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, ha!
If you follow along with me on social media you’ll already know that I am a wife, mother and a woman of faith. We have two beautiful boys: Anthony and Leonardo. Both absolutely precious. Our youngest son, Leo was born with a very rare disease called, Sturge-Weber Syndrome caused by a vascular birthmark called port wine stain. Leo has a bilateral vascular birthmark covering the left side of his face (see, Meeting Leo, post for his birth story).
This page is not just going to be a place for me to continue to share about our strong little warrior, Leo; but also a place for hope, encouragement and some fun too.
With having two small kiddos it’s hard to find time to do really anything, but I am going to try my best to keep up and have some fun with all this. I want to also welcome feedback from you all. Please, share with me what you want to know more of or what you would like to see more of. I am a very transparent gal, so I am looking forward to answering any questions.
Well, that wasn’t so bad...right? I think this is going to be great and I am looking forward to this! Thanks again for reading. I hope you continue to follow along!
Oh I definitely will do that soon. What a great idea and reference for me, too.
This is wonderful. I cannot wait to follow along! I would love to know verses that you use daily to help get you through tough days as a mama. I know most are amazing.... but just the days that you feel helpless..
Thank you ❤️
