Dandelion Moms Project Kindness :: Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign
What is the dandelion moms Project Kindness? Well, every month we select an organization that is helping others in some capacity. One month we supported a grassroots non-profit organization that was helping to create a library filled with books in a small town in the the Dominican Republic. Another month we supported the Project Night Night that helps children in shelters feel safe and loved with a special tote bag that is filled with a children’s book, blanket and a stuff animal. It warms my heart to see our lovely dandelion moms helping in any way they can – even if it is sharing the post about an organization helping others and getting…

Wellness :: The Importance of Eye Care
While watching a basketball game in high school, I asked my friend sitting next to me if I could check out her glasses – just to see how I looked in them.

I loved to shop for antiques, things for the house, gifts for friends and family, but I was mainly on the search for beautiful clothes. You probably wouldn’t know that by looking at me today, as I don’t really have the time, money or energy to put into this former pastime that I did years ago. But don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy finding quality clothes that can stand the test of time. I still try to find good sales as it is always more fun to get a bargain, but you need to know…
