Meet Meredith..........

Our new sponsor child with An Orphans Wish!

Lulu, our previous sponsor child, in the Club Foot Unit has received wonderful care in the House of Love at An Orphans Wish. She has successfully undergone "casting" to correct her club feet. Yippee!! She is an amazing, beautiful and WALKING toddler now and is in the process of having her paperwork prepared for adoption. Something that would not have been possible if she had gone untreated. Sponsorship DOES change the lives of these wonderful children.

We are so excited to be part of the sponsorship program that will forever change Meredith's life. If you would like more information on this great non-profit organization please check out their website: www.anorphanswish.org

A Long Weekend DIY Project

After seeing a chalkboard at Pottery Barn Kids that would've been absolutely perfect for Evan's bedroom I almost had a heartattack when I saw the price tag of $350+tax!!! Seriously? it should be made outta gold for that amount! Not to be deterred I went on line and realized that I could make this into a fun DIY project and save myself loads of $$ in the process.




Saturday morning, with family in tow, we headed over to the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. Evan actually was the first to spy this solid wood vintage mirror leaning in the corner. It fit the dimensions we were looking for perfectly........SOLD!

Did you know that you can use chalkboard paint on glass? Me neither!! It took most of a day as the coats of paint need to be applied thinly and in multiple layers. The end result?

A great addition to Evan's bedroom! And the cost? The whole project came in at around $50!! Now that's my kind of project!!
