Mother's Day

Whether you hold your child in your arms or in your heart, I'm wishing you a Happy Mother's Day. For those who are struggling with infertility, I remember those days as well. I'm thinking of you and praying that your arms are filled soon.

This month over at Still Standing Magazine, CarlyMarie wrote about how broken Mother's Day is and how she believes we can heal the day by using our voices in a peaceful, loving and meaningful way.

You can find more information at International Bereaved Mother's Day.

Second Donation Drop Off

I wanted to share some pictures from our second donation drop off earlier this week. Thank you so very much to our friend, Mat Anna for the GORGEOUS blanket/pouch sets. Aren't they beautiful?!?!

My little boy, Cameron loves helping make the angel boxes

for the babies like his little brother, Nathan.

Still Project

Shared via CarlyMarie - This is so, so important. As a community, it is my belief that we can all get behind this AMAZING project. If you purchased a Christmas Butterfly from me back in November or December last year you actually made a contribution to the production of this very much needed film. Like their Facebook page, STILL Project, and share this film trailer. Speak about it and say it out loud for your precious babies! Each story told, each baby remembered... they matter! For more information visit their website: http://stillproject.org or their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/StillProject

A New Year

I know things have been quiet on here for a while. I apologize for that. We are fundraising, organizing and in the process of getting a donation together. More information and pictures will be posted soon...

I pray that 2013 will be year filled with hope and good memories for us all.

Donations

It's turning out to be a pretty good weekend. My friend, Wendi stopped over with her boys for a play date today and she brought a ton of fabric for us. (Thank you!!!) I received an email from MatAnna, over at Lost Innocents, letting us know that she has been working on some beautiful new sets for us! She sent pictures and they are just amazing! (How cute are those ducks!?!?) I also recieved a donation in the mail from the Ackley family, which will allow us to purchase our new memory boxes!!!! (Thank you!!!) We're still in need of funding for other items so take a moment to check out our fundraiser page. I know money is tight for everyone but remember that every dollar amount helps... even if it's just $5 or $10! http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?url=memoryboxes&fundraiser_id=9948

Spoken Word Blog Round-Up (Year Two)

Angie, over at Still Life with Circles, is starting up the 2nd Spoken Word Blog Round-Up. I participated in this last year and it was an amazing experience. I was still very early into my loss but I somehow found the courage to post and was welcomed into the community with love, acceptance and support. I believe it was a big turning point in my healing... just getting the words and thoughts out into the open and having someone tell me that I wasn't alone. If you are interested in participating or just want to follow along, here's the link: http://stilllifewithcircles.blogspot.com/2012/10/spoken-word-blog-round-up-two.html (Here is the link from last year: http://stilllifewithcircles.blogspot.com/2011/10/spoken-word-blog-round-up.html)
