thoughtful thursday

you all did something amazing this week...i did the labor part.

you donated $250 to neuroblastoma research in honor of cora and tuesday!!!! your comments {over the 250 goal} allowed me and hubs to make that donation...and educate lots of folks along the way.

not only that, i have found some new kiddos and fams that could use prayer. so that's one of the things i did this week. i become and advocate for gwendolyn strong and her family who is fighting to get a petition signed to pass a bill quickly for a quick resolve to SMA, spinal muscular atrophy.

so go on over and do a little helping out...i know you want to because you all want to help out so much. and it only takes like 30 seconds...seriously!

Help Cure SMA

the other thing i continued this week is writing letters to parents of kiddos in the NICU and PICU. i know it's not gonna change the world, but i figure a little glimpse of hope and a smile from someone outside of your hospital world can make a little difference...and diligently praying for each of them is far more a gift than i could ever physically give.

Thank you for posting about Gwendolyn! Isn't she a cutie.

It is truly amazing what blogging mamas can do. No one should have to go through these things alone. We can be there for eachother and help make a difference.

Looks lik eyou are doing some thoughtful and amazing things for these families.

I had a baby boy that spent his entire life in the NICU. We started a foundation in his memory and our mission is to offer financial assistance to families of critically ill babies/children during their hospital stay.

Maybe we could team up and do some thoughtful things for these families. You can check out or site at www.jackryangillham.org or www.jrgfoundation.blogspot.com.
Thank you so much for doing this!

I love seeing the outpouring of love from people.

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......

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...

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...
