Whether you’re eating, working, or playing—we’ve got you covered.”

As a young girl, designer Andi Ballard combined delicate thrift store finds with her older brother’s hand-me-downs to create her signature girly-tomboy style. Decades later, and that look is now the backbone of her collection. Seneca Rising is a dreamy assortment of perfectly worn-in pieces, softly printed and even lovelier layered together than they are alone. These are no-fuss clothes, inspired by those favorite tees and sweaters that go from worn-to-wash and back again without ever seeing the inside of your closet. Gotta love that.

Recently Jessica from MomFuse contacted me about a woman in her community suffering from breast cancer while watching the financial security of her family crumble around here. Jessica writes this at Momfuse.com:
Hello my Mom Fuse Family…
I like to believe that we here at Mom Fuse are all about helping moms, usually we post topics and articles on different parenting related issues but this post is more special and dear to me than any post I’ve ever done.
Recently a good friend of ours, Stacy, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and their family is in desperate need of some financial assistance. She was employed as a nurse and brought in most of the money but she’s recently had to quit her job because of the cancer and chemo treatments. Now that she’s no longer working they are having a terrible time keeping up with the bills and things for their 7 kids. Her husband is working his butt off trying to support the kids, pay rent, pay bills, and trying to keep their car while maintaining the house, making sure the kids are fed and taken care of, taking care of his wife who, and so much more.
Their rent alone is $800 per month and that’s not even counting all the other bills they have, including a car payment. Now, with the trouble of keeping a roof over their head and food on the table, they may have to sell their car in order to get some extra money, but then they won’t have a reliable way to get to treatment and other appointments. Can you imagine having no car with 7 kids during the summer with tons of doctor appointments to try and make it to?
It’s been extremely sad around here with everyone trying to figure out what they are going to do and how to help. I know money is tight everywhere but if you could spare a $1 or even ten cents by using the Donate button below, every little bit will help. My husband and I are donating as much as we can afford, but that’s not enough to cover hardly anything, and I would love it if our wonderful Mom Fuse community could come together and help this awesome family and support them in their time of need.
To learn more about how you can help and to find out how tweeting on Thursday, July 30th may make all the difference in the world, please go to:

Adorable Coupon Organizer
…
…
…
If you are a couponer (and you likely are or you would not be on this website), Deb at Glow Girl has a deal for you! She is offering one lucky winner an adorable handmade coupon organizer. She sent me one the other week that I just love. Not only is it cute, it is well made, durable and comes with 20 dividers and 70+ peel and stick labels for complete personalization. Roomy enough to also carry pen, small pad of paper, clipping scissors, etc. It is the perfect size for running into the store. I especially like it for my favorite coupons which I know I will use as soon as I find the perfect sale.

Scholastic Storybook Treasures is a site all mom’s need to bookmark and put under her favorites. It has “The #1 Award-Winning Children’s DVD series”!
I received the dvd below “Chicka Chicka 123″ and it has 4 classic books that come to life and all the words appear on screen for a read along. My 6 year old loved the DVD. He sung and read along. My 3 year old didn’t quite understand what was going on and thought the “movie was going to start at any moment.” I had to explain what a read along was and then she sat back and fell asleep! So I guess she found the DVD relaxing!!!
Chicka Chicka 123 is great in teaching numbers and counting and reading!
Giveaway:
Scholastic Storybook Treasures will be giving two copies away!
To Win:
If you would like a chance to win a copy of Chicka Chicka 123 go to Scholastic Storybook Treasures and tell us which DVD you would like to have for you child.
Please only U.S. or Canada only.
This giveaway ends on my birthday! 8/6/09
