tarjay!

Did you know that since 1962, Target has committed 5% of its income to support local communities?
I seriously had no idea!  And right now they’re planning to donate
$500 million by the end of 2015 to support education and help kids learn to read.
Click on the image to the right to learn more about their reading program.

The gist is … right now Target is asking caring adults to pledge to read
to the children in their lives.  And as a thank you, Target will donate books to children in need.

What an EASY way to make a difference people!
Giving … helping doesn’t have to be grand gestures of activity or
spending … just take a minute and pledge!

And P.S. … a big ol’ way to be Tar-to-the-Jay!

graze organic {giveaway}

Oh hello … ingenious product!

In light of my recent Earth Day post … I thought these organic pouches from graze organic would be perfect to share!

A couple of mom’s were doing all the right “green” things, but still using plastic bags in their kids lunches.  They set out to find an alternative, but came up empty … read more to find out how graze was born.  I’m also lovin’ the tagline :: “graze … because every bag matters.”

tooth fairy goodness

I found this on my favorite new-to-me blog, My Life My Loves and had to share it!

It’s a Tooth Fairy door!  A door. for the Tooth Fairy!  It measures about 10 inches tall and 6 inches wide.  And it’s customizable with colors and framing.  LOVE!

Another genius Tooth Fairy goodie … the world’s smallest letter!  My friend Tiffany sent me one of these beauties not too long ago … just a note of thanks and friendship.  But they can also send a letter from the Tooth Fairy.  Comes complete with a little magnifying glass and everything.  Too cute!

I think what’s next should be some sort of iPhone app with a loud alarm/reminder … so that darn fairy remembers to show up on time! ;)
