Finnian's Journey: All for a good cause

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

All for a good cause

Remember the shirt I made for Kevin through Cafe Press (pictured in my sidebar<------)? Well, I've received a number of inquiries from people wanting to know where to get the shirt. So I decided to open a Cafe Press store (did you know you can do that??) and sell t-shirts and sweatshirts with my design (which I've refined just a bit), and here's the great part: I am going to donate 100% of the profits to the Special Olympics. So please check it out and pass the word around.

Lisa said...: Bridget eats avocado almost daily...I started giving them to her when she was about 8 months old and now they are a staple of her diet!

I made a "Bridget's Light" shirt for her on Cafe Press a few years ago and another one with the last two lines of a poem I wrote for her ("I live a Beautiful Life. I am a Beautiful Life.") They were both really cute, but the one with the saying was a little bit off-center. Anyway, about six months later, I got something in the mail from Cafe Press. It was a check for $1. Apparently someone bought a bib with my saying on it :)...; April 1, 2009 at 2:56 PM
