Mommy&Me - Mom of the Week: Nicole & Ethan

Never underestimate the strength and love of a mother.
We, as women (and moms), must stick together and support one another, because it is already tough enough being a woman in this world, right?
I'd like to start off this FIRST EVER Mommy & Me "Mom of the Week" post with a great quote. One that really stands out to me and I firmly believe in. 

"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."
-Margaret D. Nadauld

I must say, this woman you are about to see photos of possesses every single positive quality in that quote, and that is why I am HONORED that she even considered shooting for our blog post. 
I have been blessed to know Nicole since before the boys were even born, and I have come to admire her strength, love, passion for life and kindness toward others more than ever over the last 4 years.

This beautiful single mom works incredibly hard to support herself and her little man, so that she can provide the best life possible for Ethan- so he can play tee ball and have the same opportunities other little boys his age have. That is why she is the "Mom of the Week" this week. 


We can't forget her little guy though. Ethan is one sweet momma's boy! He turns 4 in April, loves baseball and the movie "The Sandlot," but more importantly I was able to appreciate and witness the love he has for his sweet mommy- and the love she has for him as well. Wow. That is powerful!
There is nothing greater than the love between a mother and her child, and with that said, please join me in supporting Nicole & Ethan below by checking out their amazing photoshoot!
