Join Me in Marching for Babies

I'm proud to announce that next Saturday, May 22, I'll be marching for babies with the March of Dimes!

"When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies."

I'll be doing the 3 mile march with my 5 kids. Please make a pledge in support of my march for babies.

"Your gift will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care."

Green Mama Benefit Auction Highlight: Custom Monthly Grace Starter Kit

Monthly Grace is a unique and wonderful cloth menstrual product.

Each pad is handmade with love and care using the finest products.

Monthly Grace pads are made with a fleece layer for both waterproofing and breathability. The 10 inch and 13 inch pads are made standard with an inner core of Zorb for maximum absorbency. The pad topper is quilted only to the inner absorbency layers, and not to the waterproof layer, in order to prevent wicking. Each pad comes with Grippies(R) attached to the bottom, to prevent slippage.

Custom Starter Kit

With this kit, you'll get one 8 inch light flow pad, one 10 inch regular flow pad, and one 13 inch overnight pad. This way, you'll get one of each length to try, and find which is right for you! You choose the fabrics! Printed minky and solid colored fleece, black OBV and coordinating knit (hidden fleece), or natural OBV and coordinating knit (hidden fleece). OR... try all three!
