Two things I want to tell you about.

1. It's November . . . which is right next to December on the calendar!  Do you love the holidays and/or celebrate Christmas and/or just like ornaments and holiday decorations in general?  Welllll . . . then you need to quit sleepin' and sign up for Micaela's Ornament Swap!  There are only four more days left to sign up, so hop to!  Micaela will assign you a partner, and you will send your partner a darling Christmas ornament . . . and then receive one in exchange in the mail!  Fun, right?

2. Last year, I did the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk, and it was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life.  I would have done it (and probably several other walks/races) again this year, if it weren't for the daunting task of raising money to sign up.  I hate asking for money, even for a good cause.  So . . . I'm asking on behalf of my beautiful and courageous friend Summer, who has signed up for the Mardi Gras Half Marathon next February in New Orleans.  She will be running on behalf of the American Cancer Society to help find a cure for cancer, a disease which has plagued many of our loved ones, in honor of her sweet Daddy Butch.

Summer has been swimming in grief lately over the loss of her father, and I'm so proud of her for channeling her feelings into something positive that could help benefit so many.  

If you can donate at all--even just $5--it would mean so much to her.  She has to raise $1300 and is only 5% there so far.  You can click here to donate--it is very easy and takes two seconds, and any amount helps.  Thank you!!
