Changes to come!

A while back, during the Tuesday Blog Party, I won a blog make over. Well, the time has come to take advantage of it. I have not been happy with the look of my blog since my settings expired, so I really haven't done any blog post. I plan to change that. I can't wait to share my new look by Mami Pictures.

2nd Annual Tuesday Blog Party part 2

And the winner is.....
Sharlene!!!!



From now until May 8th, I am holding this give-away to help benefit Whatchagonnado.org, which is an organization that was founded by Charley & Jessica Whitt to honor their daughter Tuesday.
Although their site is not completely up and running yet, the idea they have is. (it will be up by mid-May)
Whatchagonnado.org is being set up to benefit families that are dealing directly with pediatric cancer. It will help to fund their medical costs, food & travel, and even funeral arrangements, if needed :(
And, of course, it will also help to provide funds for Pediatric Cancer Research.

Charley & Jess know all too well what it is to live with pediatric cancer....
Tuesday was their beautiful twin daughter who bravely fought and sadly lost her 8 month battle with stage 4 neuroblastoma in January of 2009. They learned firsthand what cancer does to a family and they want to turn their pain & their loss into something to help others.

I, along with all of Jess & Charley's friends, want to do anything we can to help them achieve their goal and make sure that the loss of Tuesday is never forgotten and always has purpose.

Up for auction I have a handmade child's bracelet. This is on the arm of my 6 year old daughter.

All you have to do to enter to win this auction is simply leave me a comment letting me know you are interested in winning and then, be sure to donate $1 to the Tuesday Fiona Whitt Foundation, which benefits Whatchagonnado.org.

Also, head on over to the Tuesday Blog Party to see what other fantastic items are being auctioned off by clicking the image below.

There are lots of great auctions going on and all it costs is one dollar to enter each one. (unless otherwise specified)

If you would like to make one donation, instead of many individual donations, please feel free to donate however is easiest for you.
If you end up donating $10, but only find 5 auctions you are interested in, you can use those additional dollars as additional entries :)
Thank you so much for supporting a great cause and remember to have fun!
Good luck!

It's For Tuesday!

These are the Whitts...
Photobucket
Axel, Spencer, Piper & Tuesday
They are the beautiful children of my friends, Jess & Charley. They are privileged children.
Privileged because they grew up in a home full of love, in a family that envelopes the very meaning of home... where the world revolved around happiness. and exploring. and adventure. and love of man. and earth.
Their parents did everything right. For their kids.
Everything.
Healthy food. Healthy living. Happy life.
And then cancer came.
Photobucket
Piper, Axel, Spencer & Tuesday
It was a shock.
They did everything they should do. They loved their bodies. Their children. Their world.
They ate healthy. They lived strong. They fought hard. Every.single.day.
And cancer still won.
Photobucket
Spencer, Piper & Axel
There's a big gaping hole where Tuesday once was. A hole that everyone can feel and yet no one can fill.
All the prayers, the tears, the hugs, the love.... none of it touches that space.
Nothing.
But they still feel love and hope and happiness.
And that is why I do what I do.
To help bring them any bit of happiness I can.
And part of that is to make sure Tuesday is never forgotten and that her legacy lives on forever.
Not because the family asked it of me, but because I need to do it for them.
Because I love Tuesday and miss her.
In 2 days, the Tuesday Blog Party begins.
Whatchagonnado?
Be a part of it and help us make a difference.
Please.
For Tuesday.
For the Whitts.
For all of the children fighting cancer and winning.
And especially for the ones who aren't.


I wish I could take credit for these beautifully written words, but I can't. It was written by Debi.

Tuesday Blog Party!

****WE HAVE A WINNER****
Julie, from The Other Boufs!
Congratulations!



From now until May 12th, I am holding this give-away to help benefit the Tuesday Fiona Whitt Foundation.
Tuesday was the beautiful twin daughter of my dear friend, Jessica Kate, who bravely fought and sadly lost her 8 month battle with stage 4 neuroblastoma in January of this year.
My friends and I from Jess' multiples group have decided to put together an annual blog party to help raise funds to fight pediatric cancer, specifically neuroblastoma, as it is the least funded of ALL cancers yet one of the most fatal :(

It's All About Tuesday

Tuesday was admitted back into the hospital yesterday to start her 5th (of 6) rounds of chemo. Her mom is asking for prayers. Make sure you go over and let them know you are saying prayers for Little Tuesday!

Also, Debi at Who Says Eight is Enough Gives Back is sponsoring a fund raiser for Tuesday. Here is what she has posted on her blog, I have also added a button on the right bar of my blog to place you order.

Her blog reads as follows:



From today, October 20th, until November 17th I will be hosting a Discovery Toy party to benefit little Tuesday's fight against Neuroblastoma. Please take some time to view her family's blog, Go Blog Yourself, so that you understand why I felt compelled to help them out.
Then, please use this link to view all the great things that Discovery Toys has to offer:
DISCOVERY TOYS
Please DO NOT place your order online.
If you do, the purchases will NOT be credited to this party :(I have attached a copy of the order form here and all you have to do is click on it to increase the size and then save it to your computer. Then, you can fill it out and then send your order form to Barb (from Tale of Two Twinkies, she is a DT consultant).
This is her business email address: dtoys_barb@comcast.net
Barb will then add the shipping costs and taxes if applicable. She will also work out how you are paying. You can either pay her direct via credit card, or you can send your payments to me through Paypal or Revolution Money Exchange. Might I also suggest that you combine orders with friends, as the shipping tends to be a bit high due to the fact that everything is being shipped separately and not to our hostess, Miss Tuesday.
Please feel free to email Barb or I with any questions. (my email address is on my profile)
Now, on to the fun stuff....Discovery Toys has some really GREAT educational toys! And, I would personally like to suggest a few items that I have bought in the past.
My ALL-TIME FAVORITE items I have bought:
Sounds Like Fun CD Item #1850 $12.99
I have had this CD since David was a baby. I have played it every single night in my kids' rooms when they go to bed since 1995. I can sing the songs forward & backward & in my sleep, but I will be the first to tell you that EVERY one of my kids has learned phonics from this CD by the time they were 3yrs old, known their days of the week, months of the year and even learned Spanish. And, I am VERY proud to say that both Emma & Will can sing the phonics song and count to 100 by tens!
If you buy nothing else, BUY this!
Hide Inside Item #1195 $24.99
I have had one of these for years and years. It is just great for babies from 2 months to 3 years old. Obviously, my babies always started out just chewing on the different textured toys, but as my kiddies get older, they play "find the____" , etc.
It's very versitle and machine washable.

Wiz Kidz Item #4246 $9.99
As many of you might be aware, I have homeschooled my kids and I bought these for a fun activity to play with them. It really requires them to use their imaginations and have fun at the same time. (it also would be a fun activity for car rides on long trips,or even as a conversation starter at the dinnr table)
We LOVE playing this!Obviously, there are MANY other items from Discovery Toys, but these are on the top of my MUST HAVE list.
PLEASE, have fun and try to remember why you are shopping.... Tuesday and her family.

Once the party is through, Tuesday's parents will get to pick out lots and lots of fabulous toys for their children for the holiday season, at no cost to them!
Wouldn't you love to be able to say that you helped to make their Christmas a little brighter?And, as an added bonus, one lucky person who makes a purchase will be randomly drawn to win a new copy of Facing The Giants. It's one of my favorite inspirational movies, whose message tells us that nothing is impossible with God.
It's message has changed my life and I truly believe that NOTHING is impossible with God on your side and Tuesday is living proof.

It's all about TUESDAY


Look at this beautiful, happy family! It is so great to see them all together! Outside of the hospital! Outside, enjoying themselves, as a family. A normal family! The Whitt Family, was able to get out and go to a "Miracle Party" with their own little miracle. Go to their blog and read all about it. While you are there, make sure to leave them a little message to let them know you are praying for Tuesday on Tuesday! They have a lot of great news there! Remember, I told you Tuesday is home from the hospital until her next round of Chemo on Sept 29th. At which time, if all goes right, they will only be out patient! Amazing!
Also, remember the auction we have for that amazing drawing.
And another way to give!! Laurie P of Cookie Lee is offering her profits of 2 of her items to the Whitt family. Go here for more details about both!
