On Saturday, May 13th we hosted our first Bloom: An event for new & expecting moms. We are so thankful to the moms, dads, friends, and family who attended for a morning of education & fun!
Sometimes pictures tell the story so much better than words. A HUGE thank you to Trista Klein Photography for capturing the morning for us!
