Even though Tara and I have only met twice, I feel like I’ve known her forever. You know how it goes… a friend goes on and on all about her amazing friend who recently had a baby, and just how wonderful, precious and awesome new mom and baby are. Honestly, it’s easy to see what all the gushing was about… Meet Tara; she is creative, an entrepreneur, has effortless personal style, and yes, she’s mom to sweet baby girl, Charlotte. It was a great afternoon with Tara – not only is she energetic, and beautiful, but her sweet stylish ways radiated throughout her dance studio.
