Design-her Gals

Have you noticed that cute banner in my sidebar with the lovely looking pregnant gal that looks a little similar to me? That would be my blog gal from Design-her Gals.

Design-her Gals and their Gal to Gal Foundation are trying to raise $50,000 in the month of October for women with Stage 4 breast cancer. This year, the funds that are raised will be going to Making Memories, a wonderful organization that fulfills wishes for Stage 4 breast cancer patients and their families. In addition, they will be helping sponsor the first global internet site designed exclusively for patients in advanced stages of breast cancer. This site will be multi-tiered and multi purpose and will serve as a centralized location for all Stage IV resources.

To raise the $50,000, they are selling a t-shirt that says, “Breast Cancer has no borders,” and donating $10 from every paper print order that you make. You can design your Gal and have it printed up on cards, labels, stationary and so on. The Gal “dressing room” is filled with adorable ideas to make your Gal look the most like you.

Be sure to go check them out by clicking the banner in my sidebar, spread the word and help them reach their $50,000 goal.

Think Pink for the Cure with Lucky Scent

LuckyScent.com and Aroma M will be donating 15% of all sales of the best-selling Geisha Pink Roll-on by Aroma M during the month of October to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which is dedicated to education and research on breast cancer causes, treatment and the search for a cure. A special commemorative card will be issued with every purchase.

Geisha Pink Roll-on as described on Luckyscent.com:

Sunshine streaming through pink blossoms. This flirty concoction of tart orange, sugared plum and soft vanilla is downright saucy. Opening with a bright flourish of fresh citrus, this mellows into a melon-like softness that is buoyantly feminine and deliciously light. Perfectly frivolous, delightfully playful.

Be fragrant and contribute to a cure: Luckyscent.com

My Spa baby


I just got back from my ultrasound and wanted to show you my teenie tiny spa baby. It’s still a little peanut at 8 weeks 4 days. Heartbeat was strong at 175 bpm and it was wiggling around. I’m told I need to take it easy (whatever that means when you have 3 active little kids) because there is a small bleed at the placenta.

Hopefully it’s nothing to worry about. We’ll know in another 10 weeks if this is a little spa girl or spa boy.
