Tees For Change Giveaway

Fellow homebirthing/natural-minded mama Andreea Ayers has started a fabulous little company called "Tees For Change"...and we are going to kick off my December giveaway spree with the chance to win a t-shirt of your choice (short sleeve).

I love love love her t-shirts...they are so soft and yummy. Not only that, they are unique, sustainable, and act as great conversation starters! Put your happiness out there for all to see! :)

Check out her line of shirts here.

Here is a little more about Andreea:

I founded Tees for Change in the Spring of 2007 while living in Boulder, CO. I was going through a lot of exciting changes - a baby on the way, a recent move from New York City to Boulder, CO and embarking on a new entrepreneurial venture. I have always been fascinated by the t-shirt and the ease with which it allows you to express yourself.

I wanted to explore this concept and combine it with my love for eco-friendly products and my passion for positive thinking and connecting with people. But I didn't want any old t-shirt. I wanted something that was fashionable, felt great, was easy to wear and was made from sustainable materials.

Andreea is offering a 25% discount to all of you through December 6! Just enter the discount code WALK. This is a very generous discount...just in time for the holidays! She has more than just t-shirts though...check out the great journals and jewelry! And one last really COOL thing? For every t-shirt you buy, one tree will be planted! Read on...

Because of our dedication to the environment, we've partnered with Trees for the Future to plant a tree for EVERY tee you purchase. Trees for the Future plants trees in Asia, Latin America and Africa and our last tree planting helped plant over 5000 trees in Cameroon. We've planted over 10,000 trees since we started our company in Spring 2007.

December '10 Photo Project

I've been counting down the days until December 1...and it's finally here! I so enjoyed last year's December Photo Project...and I'm thrilled to join in again.

I will be posting one photo every day through December 25...who is with me??! Check out Rebecca's blog for the details/badges, etc.

*Here is a peek at last year's photos...my heart is so full looking back through these. Such amazing memories.

She Is Me

She Is Me I am on one end of the couch. She is on the other. Trying to sleep...but scared of monsters. Trying to explain it to me...but deciding to close her eyes instead. SO FULL of life and energy and spice. It's exhausting and beautiful at the same time. My heart aches to watch her sleep. Wondering what I might have missed that day. Thinking about what I should have said. Where we should have gone. Pushing those thoughts away... I take her hand and pull her close. Her little body fitting perfectly to mine. She is me. And I tell her I love her. Over and over.

My friend Tiffani made a beautiful video of her daughter. If you have a 6 year old, get out the kleenex :) I totally cried. I am thankful for friends who can help remind me to slow down and savor life's most important moments.
