As I mentioned before, one of my goals for 2013 is to give more.
I had the opportunity to volunteer at a local rescue mission Tuesday night and I jumped at the chance to put that in action, and give an hour or two of my time with 3 other moms in our Moms in Tow group.
It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to more way to give as the year goes on. If you too are looking for ways to give back this year I have an opportunity that may interest you!
Some of you long time readers may remember "Brenham's Hat project" we did in honor of Brenham's 1st birthday. Together we collected 154 baby hats to donate to the hospital Brenham was born at. I was so blessed by the many people who donated hats in memory of Brenham and I know those that received the adorable hats where blessed too.
This year as we approach Brenham's 5th birthday I thought it would be nice to donate baby blankets to the NICU at the children's hospital in his memory. So, I'm reaching out to you readers again for some help! If we come together and each donate a new baby blanket we can bless so many moms and dads with new babies in the NICU by making them feel loved and gifting them with a sweet blanket for their precious baby.
If this is something you would like to do in honor of our sweet Brenham's 5th birthday just leave me your email address in the comment section or email me at katielubbers @ hotmail dot com with "Brenham's Birthday Blankets" in the subject line and I will send you our address where you can ship the blanket(s). If you are local we can work to arrange a pick up/drop off time. We will start collecting the blankets now and plan to deliver them to the children's hospital at the end of February.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I would love to. My first Michael was at the NICU in Tacoma General, WA for 59 days. He was born at 30 weeks. My email. is riccilmullen@gmail.com. Thank you for doing this. I love your random acts of kindness. Every year on my birthday I do that. This year I turn 40 so I do double on the big ones. I love doing it. I love giving back what God has so blessed me with. I try and split it up with time and gifts. Have a blessed day. Ricci

I love your blog! You are so positive and uplifting! What a special way to remember your sweet son by donating to the NiCU. I am a labor nurse and I will tell you our unit is in most needs of donations for families like you who have lost an infant. So many people always think of the sick babies but not too many comprehend the loss if an infant. We have a program and we provide momentos to our families who have infant loss and often have a hard time funding our program. Many families like you who have benefitted from our program donate in honor if their babies, especially items they felt helped or they treasured. This could be a great idea for your next giving back project. :) thank you for sharing your life with us. Rozanna Wigton

Wow, how wonderful! I remember your hat project. I was able to send you a few. Don't think I can send you as many blankets as I did hats, but would love to send you one in his memory. Still have a few hats too if you want to throw them in. Colemanverna@yahoo.com. Send me your address please.
