We Attended the Every Little Bottom Huggies Diaper Drive in Seattle

On Sunday July 24th Nana and I took my sons to the Huggies "Stuff the Bus" 2011 Kick off in West Seattle. Huggies Every Little Bottom promotion teams up to have diaper drives in local areas and we were lucky enough to have one in the Seattle area. Sunday the 24th of July in West Seattle we were able to attend the "Stuff the Bus"event and donate diapers for babies and toddlers in need.

Stuff the Bus in Seattle

I had never attended an event for Huggies before and I have to say that it was really well put together. The volunteers were all so enthusiastic and ready to help unload any donation that you brought. The coolest thing to JJ was that he got to climb up in the bus and honk the horn after making our donation! It is reported that 62 Diaper Drives took place all over King County to support "Stuff the Bus" WOW pretty cool.

We really enjoyed seeing everyone in action and knowing that the Seattle Area has been so involved in this has really made me proud to be a part of this community.

There is always a need for Diapers for Little Bottoms in need so please join us in donating to Huggies. You can see if there is a diaper drive near you to attend here. You can donate your Enjoy the Rides Reward points to help purchase diapers for the cause. You can also start your own Diaper Drive in your local area.

Volunteer Opp from Stonyfield for Music Concerts

 

I received an email today from Stonyfield Yogurt that I wanted to share with everyone. These volunteer opportunities are from August through October all over the USA. Here is what the email said:

Love music — and the planet?
You could get a Reverb volunteer spot on one of the Maroon 5 / Train or Honda Civic concert tours.  Our partner Reverb works with the music industry to reduce tours' environmental impact, and volunteers help run greening programs on each tour.

The concert tours run from August into October.  A few lucky Stonyfield fans will be chosen to help out at shows across the country, so visit Reverb to find the closest show and try your luck.  Volunteers receive a t-shirt and show pass but most importantly, the amazing experience of helping out at a great concert event.

Happiness is a Blue Blankie

Snuggling his favorite Blue Blankie!

Before my son was born my Mom (Nana) bought my son the sweetest blue blanket. It says "Thank Heaven for Little Boys" I love this blanket! My son carries it around, hugs it, snuggles it and cannot sleep without it. When I tell him its bed time or time for a nap he grabs his blue blankie and stuffed giraffe. After he wakes up from sleeping we must bring his blankie with him. If we forget to grab it he will run back to his room and point and babble until we get it out for him. Its the sweetest thing ever!

It reminded me of how Linus from Peanuts loves his blankie. When I saw there was a movie called "Happiness is a Warm Blanket" I knew we had to see it. I did not have the chance to review one, so I purchased it with Walmart credit I earned from MyPoints.

The movie was really cute and about how Linus is forced to get rid of his blankie when he is told his Grandma is coming for a visit to take his blue blankie. I won't spoil the ended and tell you what happens to the sweet blue blankie but I will say I won't ever force my little guy to give up his blankie and neither would his Nana!

Does your child have a blankie they love?
