Team Hallie Gratitude Series: Anna

Hi everyone! Anna here from #teamhallie. I was born in St. Charles, Illinois but I now live in Columbus, Ohio, with my wonderful husband and my baby boy who graced us with his presence this past August. Let me tell you, these last three months are something to be thankful for! Lincoln Finn filled our home with a joy and purpose that I never knew existed. When I look at him, I feel like my entire heart is smiling (is that a thing!?)! 

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be a mom and this little boy made all of my dreams come true on August 18th. Becoming a mom is NO JOKE though - the lack of sleep, the anxiety, the spit up, the pee (boy mom)…it’s hard work! Some days I’m just thankful I was able to shower. There are definitely times of doubt and fear (social media can be the best and worst thing for new parents) but that is when I am most grateful for the love and support of friends and family - especially this incredible #teamhallie squad of kick a** moms and dad (shoutout to Kevin). This team is made up of fighters and people who embody what true strength is. My sister, Bethany Hart, is not only an incredible Mom but she is the reason this foundation exists. She has been through one of the most difficult hardships life can throw at you but instead of giving up, she chose to turn her story into motivation for others. I’m grateful for her each and every day because she not only pushes me to be the best mom I can be, but the best person I can be. I love doing life with her by my side.
