it's a shirt, shirt, shirt

this little dude is phoenix...and well, i don't know him at all, but i met up with his mommy here in blogland. {isn't that awesome?}

phoenix has cystic fibrosis {cf} and his momma doesn't let that stop her at all...she is fighting for a cf cure. and since i can't help her all the way in indiana, i just did what i could...sew!

so i got some fabric and some dresses and shirts and some super fun!
phoenix's fight {you def have to go see them} hosted a 3 state poker run to raise money for a cf cure.

so...skulls and crossbones {girlie style...of course} seemed appropriate.


and every handsome boy needs a rockstar shirt, right?!


and when you're a rockstar, you need a guitar shirt! come on, now!


and you know the NBA is looking for some players in 20 years too...

so i don't know whether a single one sold, but i sent a bunch in little dude's size so he could have them. and i just hope to be a part of something good. something worthy. something for a precious baby boy.

so go see phoenix and say hello to his momma...warning, you'll fall in love with him.

You SO RoCk and totally make me smile. :D You did an AWESOME job on the shirts and you know what makes them even better? I know, that you do all of this lovely stuff from your heart and for no other reason but to help in a loving way. Your kiddos are so lucky to have you to look up to and so are your friends. I'm lucky because I count myself in the latter group. :D

Oh and BTW - all of the shirts are fab as I mentioned but the guitar shirt TOTALLY ROCKS!

Thank you for posting about Phoenix, all the help we can get bringing awareness to CF is appreciated! We still have people ask us when Phoenix is going to get better. I just tell them we pray soon! We're not giving up the fight!
Thank you again!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...
