Dandelion Moms Project Kindness :: #LikeAGirl Project Empowers
Still from the Always Like A Girl Project found on ABC When I found out that I was going to have a little girl while pregnant I thought about how I wanted to be the type of mom that would empower and raise my daughter to be a confident person. Since she was very little, she has been interested in activities that are considered more boyish in nature – building LEGO’s, climbing tree’s and collecting bugs, playing Minecraft – and has had several friends over the years ask her “why do you like boy stuff?” I explained that these are neither boy nor girl “things” and she can like and do what…

Dandelion Moms Project Kindness for May :: Honoring Ryan
Today I read about a family who is going through every parents worse nightmare. A fellow mom blogger (@babyboybakery) lost her beautiful son this past Friday night in a senseless accident. You can read more about it here but from what I gather, 3 1/2 year old Ryan was playing Frisbee in front of a relative’s house and ran into the street chasing after it. A truck was driving by at that moment and a horrible accident happened in a blink of an eye. Jacqui and her husband are having to go through what no parent should go through. It is senseless and just so sad. I wanted to…

Hearing Health Foundation On Path to Finding Cure for Hearing Loss
As a mom, you want what’s best for your child. But imagine seeing your child suffer from hearing loss, with no cure in sight and unable to comfort them. For many moms this is a real life struggle. In fact, in the US, three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. My own father battled with hearing loss most of his adult life. He started going deaf in his early twenties until it progressed to almost 90% hearing loss in one ear and 95% in the other ear. He was fortunate to be able to get the cochulear earplant surgery but he was still not able to…

Look Good Feel Better Helps Women With Cancer
Each month I look for programs to help support by featuring them in our monthly dandelion moms Project Kindness and asking our lovely moms to help in any way they can. Together, our community has raised donations – monetary and items for the Project Night Night Tote Bags, hundreds of children’s books to a new library in the Dominican Republic and so many other wonderful acts of kindness that have been far-reaching. This month I have been looking for a project to support and just came across a wonderful organization called Look Good Feel Better that is working hard to help support women who are fighting breast cancer. Just within the past…

Dandelion Moms Project Kindness :: August
Dandelion Moms Project Kindness: The idea to start the dandelion moms project kindness came about after watching some of Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s videos entitled the Beckoning of Lovely Project and seeing the great things that were being done during the Random Acts of Kindness week. I wanted to create a community of women and men who wanted to send out some seeds of kindness into the world by doing some easy acts of kindness. Each month we spotlight an organization or person who is helping to make the world a better place to see how we might be able to help out. Project Night Night: This month…
