Oh Happy Day!



Addi's first fundraising event raised a whopping

$2,521!!!


Words can't describe the gratitude I feel. I am especially grateful for Katie Wells over @ Katie Wells photography for getting the ball rolling on all this fund raising business. I am soooo very, very grateful for all the donations, large and small, towards FOP research. As a mother of a child that has this horrible disease, I can attest to the fact that I feel pretty powerless in all this except when I blog and try to promote IFOPA donations. Being able to do something about all this gives me hope. A gift not easily given to a pessimist who would rather be pleasantly surprised than have her heart let down. I was indeed, pleasantly surprised my friends.

Now to pleasantly surprise all of you!

Are you ready for this?

I bet you can hardly wait...

  4. Sleepsia's full body pillow was designed specifically to be hugged by side sleepers to keep the hips, legs, and spine aligned. The fill is gel-infused, CertiPUR-US certified foam, with a shredded memory foam inner core. Sleepers who love the way memory foam conforms to pressure, but also need help staying cool at night should give this body pillow a try. The fill is breathable, the cover is moisture-wicking and, in my experience, it never trapped my body heat.
