Trish Bolster was born and raised in the suburbs of Boston, MA and received a BA from Providence College and an MS in Education from McDaniel College. After traveling the United States teaching reading skills for a few years, Trish taught at a Catholic high school outside of Washington D.C. While in D.C., she met her husband Ryan and they were married in 2004. After a few years of infertility, they have been abundantly blessed with 5 children…born in under 6 years! Trish and Ryan have happily settled in Harrisburg, PA. Trish calls herself "a brand new blogger" and has found that writing helps her to recognize, appreciate, and express how much God blesses her each and every day through this incredible journey of long days and short years!
