Positively Pink

Besides my personal fundraising efforts (10% of all SHOP PINK Sales) through my Chloe + Isabel business, Chloe + Isabel has decided to step up their giving and donate 100% of the net proceeds from our Positively Pink Collection to the Young Survivors Coalition! The YSC is dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. They offers resources, connections and outreach so women feel supported, empowered and hopeful
So incredible! If you want to help me raise money in an effort to find a cure, shop the collection today through Oct. 31!

SHOP PINK: For Marilyn & Mel

Tomorrow marks three years since my Grandma Marilyn lost her fight with Cancer. It started off as Breast Cancer and eventually spread to Bone Cancer. I still think about her all the time and it is especially hard thinking about how much she would have loved Sawyer. I know she is looking down laughing at his cuteness! Even though I can't do much, I want to try to help in anyway I can to find a cure for this terrible disease and honor my wonderful Grandma. So to do my part, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I will donate 10% of each item sold from my "Shop Pink" section on my Chloe and Isabel Online Boutique. My grandma would have worn any of these pieces, her favorite colors being pink & purple. I also am doing this for a wonderful friend Mel who fought breast cancer and WON! She is cancer-free and able to enjoy a wonderful life with her husband and sweet twins. I want to help other woman like Mel see more birthdays!!

Weekend in Pictures: Birthdays, Breast Cancer Walks & Bonfires

We very rarely have a dull weekend and honestly I really like staying busy. This weekend was exceptionally busy but Sawyer got to do so many new things, he seemed tor really enjoy himself. We started out Saturday morning with the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk to celebrate our friend Mel's fight against the disease. We also walked for my Grandma (my dad's mom) who lost her hard battle 2 years ago. After the walk, my parents, Sawyer and me tried out the new breakfast at Springfield Brewing Company (so yum!), we definitely recommend it.

Saturday night Trina & Darlene hosted an Appelquist Foundation Bonfire at their house to celebrate the success of this year's tournament. We raised a whopping $8500!!!!

We finished the weekend Sunday, with 2 birthday parties. Gavin (my coworker and friend Karen's grandson) turned 1 and celebrated at the Fire House by MSU. He had a costume party so we dressed Sawyer up like a Tiger (of course). Cruze (our friend Susan & Dustin's son) turned 2 and had his party at Nathaniel Greene Park in the new Botanical Garden Center.

Here are the pictures....
