If you needed a reason for one more cookie

As I was doing my usual morning read through email and Facebook, I came across a story that gave me such perspective and gratitude for each fun, exciting, and even challenging day I get to spend with my little one (like today where she didn't take a nap until 3:30pm).

Cookies for Kids' Cancer was started by a family after their 2 year old son was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer. The survival rate of his cancer is less than 30% primarily because of the lack of research and funding towards a cure. They started this organization to raise money for all pediatric cancers. It's heartbreaking to read a story about any child suffering and makes me so thankful for the health and happiness we experience each day.

I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention because as parents, we know how devastating this can be for any family. What can you do to help raise funds for pediatric cancer? Through CKC you can have a bake sale and send funds to the organization or you can purchase some of their delicious cookies for yourself or as gifts.

I'm going to try to figure out a way to do a virtual bake sale by taking orders, stay tuned!
