like family......

when my son was two months old, i decided it was time to finally venture out of the house to attend a new mothers tea to meet some potential new mommy friends.  the tea was at the garden of eden in the south end and there was about twenty five moms making intros and chatting. i found myself talking to this very nice girl for a bit then we moved on, chatted with others and then ended up circling back to each other. we ended up being the last ones to leave because we were engrossed in conversation about nursing- heehee! the things you can spend hours upon hours talking about as a new mom!!

we had a lot in common- both came from very tight knit italian families, both were in advertising and mkting pre-babies, both came from families of divorce, both hubbys were is similar industry and went to the same grad school, both had sons who were two weeks apart and both were terribly inspired to lose our post baby weight! we became fast friends and spent everyday together walking the charles comparing notes about our new beautiful miracles- our sons. since then, we both have been fortunate enough to have healthy, beautiful daughters that were two weeks apart from each other as well. needless to say she is an incredibly dear friend, my sounding board and is like a sister to me. whenever i get the chance to shoot her amazing family- i do! xoxo
