I married my best friend and the love of my life, John, on August 7, 2004, on October 2, 2007 we welcomed our 1st child into the world, Benjamin, he has changed our world and showed us what unconditional love is. February 2009 we happily found out our home and hearts will be filled with another amazingly, wonderful life, our second son is due October 2009 and we eagerly await his arrival to complete our family. We have a five year old Lab/Boxer mix named Liberty, we couldn't ask for a better dog. I'm a freelance artist for a locally based magazine, I'm very grateful for this opportunity, it has allowed me to be a stay at home mommy and raise our son.

Anyone looking for tips/advice on a natural child birth (drug free), breastfeeding or making your own baby food I'd be happy to share my experiences.

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."-Souza
