Light The Night Walk



Giving Back

I have a special friend and she lost her mother last year after battling a grueling fight with Leukemia.

She is on a mission and I support her on this mission! She wants to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma! She wants to provide support, funds, and awareness about these terrible diseases.

On October 22, 2011 my daughter, Haley, and I will be joining Teresa for the Light the Night Walk in Tucson, Arizona. The funds raised will go towards the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Can you spare $1.00?

That is all I am asking for! I have many special people in my life and I am blessed to have many friends on facebook and in the blogging world and if we all spared just $1.00 it would add up so quickly and go to a great cause to find a cure for cancer and to provide support for the families battling these diseases.

Take a moment and check out this link to some inspiring stories.

Inspiring Stories - The Reason We NEED to do this.

Wouldn’t we want someone supporting us in this effort if it was our spouse, parent, or child fighting this disease? I pray this never happens to any of us but I am going to step it up and support this great cause.

Can you join me? Will you join me?

My beginning goals is only $100.00 - Do I have 10 people out there willing to donate $10.00? Even $1.00. It all adds up!

Christmas Already?

Have you started thinking about Christmas yet?

I think about what I am going to buy early into the season. One reason is so I can budget my funds to get the kind of presents I want to buy.

I am a BIG BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPER! I love it! I can't help it there are just some awesome deals that I normally wouldn't be able to buy.

However, this year I am taking a little different approach to some of my gifts. I am setting out to buy gifts that also give back. Isn't that really the true meaning behind the gift giving is to give back? We are celebrating Jesus' birth and he gave the ultimate gift to us all!

SO... Here are some ideas!

ONE WORLD FUTBOL PROJECT

Why a soccer ball you might ask?

My niece Abby is why!  She is a unbelievable soccer player and I can't wait to actually watch her in a game! We live so far from each other I don't get to see her play!

BUT, I can get her a really cool soccer ball for Christmas!

For every soccer ball purchased they give one to a community in need.

Check out ONE WORLD FUTBOL and this really cool idea!

TOMS

Yes I know I have talked about TOMS shoes before but I love the idea!

TOMS has a movement of One for One! Buy a pair of TOMS shoes and they donate a pair to a child in need!

Click HERE to read their awesome story!

TOMS also has a program for eye wear as well and cute kid shirts and onesies!

Blanket America

Please check  These Videos out! They are inspiring and this is a great company!

For every blanket purchased they will donate one!

HAPPY BLANKIE

This idea is great! And this was created by a really cool kid!

You have to check out this video HERE!

Oh my aren't these the cutest little blankets? Again this company will donate a blanket for every blanket purchased. These cute little blankets run about $20.00 and you can have them personalized for $10.00 if you would like!

They also have adorable clothing and same concept - buy one they donate one!

There are quite a few companies out there that are super generous and donate items when another item is purchased! I encourage you all to check these and many others out!

Do you know of any you would like to share with us?
