For the month of February 25% of the proceeds from the following products will be donated to Hutton’s Heart to benefit “Project Adam”. Project Adam is a benefit to put defibrillators into area schools and as a mother of an athlete that will be attending Catholic High School, I am happy to report they have received the first one! WOO HOO. Anyway, great cause and we’re always happy to help our very own little special BABY HUTTON JOHNSON…I am also happy to report that since receiving her new heart there have been some ups and downs but little Hutt and her new heart are doing great and sassy and as “DAVID JOHNSONISH” as she can be…I personally think she should have been named “Daveta”! She is going to be R-O-T-T-E-N (and they will even admit it=)!). As always, we appreciate all of you keeping our little buddy in your thoughts and prayers that she continues to ROCK her new heart for many years to come! She is one amazing little gal…have to bite my lip as i type this bc OMGAHHH she is soooo freakin’ CUTE and FUNNY…her personality CRACKS ME UP!!! The child is resilient. Amazingly resilient! She has SOMETHING she is SUPPOSED to be doing here on this crazy earth!!! I have NO DOUBTS she will figure it out and make it happen whatever it may be! NEVER DOUBT THE POWER OF HUTT! lol. (ask the docs at CHOP…many of them had to learn the hard way…haha)
NOTE: not meaning that AT ALL offensive to all the AMAZING doctors there…it’s just that Hutton seems to be a little more amazing than Science and medicine…really a walking miracle made possible only by those AMAZING DOCS she proved wrong!
xoxo

and i really CANNOT believe i am just now getting it posted to my blog! In case you didnt know (doubtful i know=) but this is Gwyneth Paltrow’s blog! I knew she ordered from us BUT this was just uber cool! Out of everything out there she featured our plates! I have always just thought she was so beautiful and chic so I remember the first time Carla (when she was working w/us) non challantly asked me what Gwyneth’s kids names are…i am an avid US/People reader so i was like “apple” and “moses”..she was like….OMG…”are you sure, bc this gift card says gwneth, chris, apple and moses”! and Carla had been working w/someone from London helping with a plate order for a couple days and had no clue! Soooo GOOP wasnt TOTALLY out of left field bc we were aware she has sent our plates for gifts several times and had some herself but it was still just mind blowing!!! …Ok, sooooo it was just way too cool to never get posted! Love her, love all her movies, love her beautiful mom too! And i love that she loves our plates! We had gift messages Laura had to rewrite in finnish after people.com and GOOP came out around the holidays! she literally just copied the dots and letters, etc and had no clue what she was writing…Seriously it was a VERY international christmas season for us…people from absolutely EVERYWHERE! It def took us to the next “international level”! I really respect her for supporting a small biz and giving us a HUGE, CRAZY, COOL plug! What a class act! Will always be one of my faves!!!

Ok, this was really hard…i read my rag magz in the tub every night (or morning) doesnt matter if i get home at 3am…i must read from front to back US, Life & style weekly, people, one of them to be able to wind down..wierd i know..but one night i printed all the mommy entries and read them all..i read them all a few times actually…i would get teary eyed, sob (remember i was tired and emotional..and i get dramatically rediculous sometimes), laugh…and start all over again…i wish i could have picked like 6 winners but i would rather do more fun contests soon=)! sooo long story short…i procrastinated posting a winner on purpose so i could wait and see who and what stuck out in my head and “stayed w/me” through the week..and it was this little guy Connor..WOW this mommy has done a great job….what a sweet brother…i swear i (again mind you i went to bed at like 4)i could burst out in tears again reading this it is so SWEET! very touching Mrs. Casey..good job w/those boys! would love a pic of you w/your boys or Max and Conner to post here to put a face w/a name if you would like??? email to me at egtfreebies if so..if not..we understand! xo here is the winning post:
I am a SAHM and am grateful every day that I’m able to be there for my two boys, Connor almost 5 and Maxwell nearly 2. Connor is happy, bright and healthy boy but Max has severe problems. He has severe heart and lung issues and extreme food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, vanilla, and is severely allergic to Dogs. I am most proud of… Read More how I raised Connor to have compassion. When Max was born he nearly died several times over the first year and we had to make huge lifestyle changes to keep him safe, like finding a new home for Connor’s dog, giving up a lot of unsafe foods, and drastic changes in our daily life. Young as Connor was when it began he never fought me, hes never blamed his brother for the things hes had to give up. When we go to a birthday party and the cake isn’t “safe” for his brother, he won’t eat it because he doesn’t want Max to feel left out. I take some serious credit for that, I taught him compassion, and he conveys nothing but love and empathy.
finally got these up..they are great! my family just gets by from week to week so it rocks for us..the whole month overwhelms us a tad bc we have waaayyy too much going on!=)…These were for Trista Sutter’s baby shower goody bags..they come in pink, blue, yellow and orange but of course Trista might be more obsessed w/pink than me even soooo the original one was …YEP PINK! These have magnetic backs and you can put your name, your family name..whatever you want at the top! Great for a gift too!
