Etsy!
Just wanted to share a cool find! I am loooooving http://www.etsy.com/. It is made up of many online "stores" where people sell hand made items. Many of the items I think I could possibly make myself if I had the time BUT sometimes I'd rather just pay for it to be done well and for me not to have to go through the hassle.
I've bought mutliple cute items - all for very good deals. Many of the sellers are stay at home mom's trying to bring in a little extra income - such a good idea!
I am now in the process of purchasing coffee cozy's from PinkGasoline (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23111285) as presents for Carter's daycare teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. These stores are GREAT b/c they customize everything! They will change fabrics or add monograms - And I looooove monograms!

Babies
As you may have noticed, I've added a few "buttons" to the right side of our page. Sometimes I get on the Internet and I just get "sucked in"....I look at one person's page...then another and another. Well, you may know I am not overly religious but I've stumbled upon a few families that need your thoughts AND PRAYERS.
I literally read their blogs each night and either cry (when there is bad news) or smile (if there is good news). Today I learned that Stellan (Pray for Stellan button) will be discharged from the hospital!!!! But I've also read that Kayleigh is most likely brain dead and will not make it. I cannot even imagine what her parents are going through. I just cry thinking about how I would feel if Carter was taken from us. Today a "guest blogger" wrote on their site and let us know of the financial trouble that Kayleigh's parents are in. Seriously? They are losing a child and also have to deal with losing their house and everything they own....b/c they have a sick child! UGH. This just is an example and why we desperately need a change to our health care system (but that is a whole other post).
Please read Kayleigh's story (http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/) and hopefully you will also feel the need to help. I have decided to not buy coffee this week. I would normally have spent about $20 a week at Dunkin. Instead, I've donated that money to Kayleigh's parents. How can I possibly "throw away" money on coffee when they are losing their daughter and may also lose their house.
I now want to wake up Carter and give him a big hug and kiss.
