Likes Family Update

At the midweek point, you have given $340 to the Likes family adoption fund.  Great job, thanks for all you have donated!!

 Did you know that they also have two other fundraisers going on?

Head to their blog here to get the details, www.bringingourbabieshome.blogspot.com, but here are some pictures!

Their ongoing fundraiser is a "Sweet Dreams" one.  They have amazing 1500 count sheet sets, for only $35.00 ($5 additional if you need them shipped).  You will sleep well every night tucked into these sheets, knowing that you helped bring two little ones home to their nice comfy beds too!

The other fundraiser they are doing for the month of February are these beautiful necklaces.

I know as an adoptive mother, this was a verse I held close to my heart, as we struggled through the up and downs of our adoption process.  I found comfort in knowing that this path was indeed the path for our family, no matter how difficult it may seem.

What a beautiful way to remind those we love that their path, no matter how daunting it may seem is indeed guided by Him.

Black Friday Shopping for a Cause

Can I be real for a minute? I used to love, love, love Black Friday shopping. Then I went through the adoption process. Suddenly, Black Friday lost it's luster. I just can't get into the frenzy anymore. There are too many faces that need homes and too many families that are struggling while trying to finish their adoptions. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it. If you can get your family some great deals and have fun doing it, by all means gear up and get out there!

But, if you are looking for an alternative we have one! We've compiled an entire list of families that are fundraising for their adoptions and are selling something in order to do so.

Can you imagine what it would do for them if they wake up on Saturday and have sold out of their items? Can you imagine the hope that it would give them?

Stay, take a look around and shop with us!

Your Purchase Power

Hey guys,
So we've talked about this company before, Noonday Collection.  And if you're like me, you're always looking for an excuse to purchase something that gives back (especially around Christmas time).  I always try to talk my husband into something that I need basically because it's something that gives twice. One of my faves (I'm even an ambassador I loved it so much) is Noonday Collection.  If you haven't heard about Noonday you need to check them out! They were birthed out of an adoption fundraiser! If you host a show and want it to benefit an adoption, Noonday will give 10% of the shows total to your adoption agency, a-ma-zing! Not only can you earn money for your adoption but your friends can get some amazing jewelry and accessories that come with a story!

What's this story stuff I'm talking about you ask? Well, every piece with Noonday is handmade and provides sustainable income to the person who crafted it. It's a win win for sure.

There's an awesome sale going on right now too, so maybe get some holiday shopping done, give a gift that gives twice.
