Dandelion Moms Project Kindness :: Helping an Autism Center
Dandelion Moms Project Kindness was created in order to support local, national and even worldwide organizations. A few years back our community sent a small town in the Dominican Republic over 250 books so they could open up a town library. Together, we helped raised over 300 Project Night Night tote bags that were given out to children in shelters across the country and supported the #LikeAGirl campaign that empowers young girls. These are just some of the organizations that that our community has helped and it is something that is dear to my heart. This month I was asked by a long-time dandelion mom if our community could help…

The Muddy Puddles Project Brings Awareness and Support to Pediatric Cancer
Some of you might know that my daughter’s nickname is PigPen! From the time she was teeny tiny and when I would pick her up from preschool she usually looked like she rolled around in the dirt. One time in preschool, I somehow lost my mind and put her in these adorable white jeans. Um, not a good idea.

But I figured a messy kid was a happy kid so I haven’t stressed too much about over the years. I just know better to not…
