In the midst of a chaotic life, I rediscovered my faith in the most amazing way. I found love with the best man I’ve ever met.

I wouldn’t change a thing though, and I’d do it a million times over.
I’ve been blessed enough to have amazing women in my life to guide me through pregnancy, motherhood and being a wife. Cheers to you ladies, you make me a better woman and a better mum. 🥂
Blessed to have my family (old and new) who always have my back.
Blessed to have new friends and mentors - many thanks to my professor Ron Dart for pushing me to continue my education, guiding me through ego death and raising my mind to things greater than myself. I’d highly recommend his works on the Beatitudes and Tradition. ----- No this is not a post to announce my re-entry to the “culture war”. I have some very important nappy battles to fight at the moment. 😉
I’ve greatly enjoyed my privacy. I simply wanted to share these moments with the world - on my own terms. ----- (A friendly disclaimer, to those of you who I’ve run into in person and have been kind enough to keep my family private, many thanks and it’s always lovely to say hello. I hope everyone else can please respect the privacy of myself and loved ones. 💕) Photos: my lovely friend @oliviaannphotography_
