Walking for our Angel baby..
We are struggling this year to meet our donation goal for our walk for March for Babies. Our goal is 300.00 and we aren't even half way near that.
We could really use your help right now. We only have 10 days left, technically 9 because we turn everything in on the 10th day. The walk is April 17th.
If you could please either get the word out or even make just a small donation we would be so grateful! Any little bit helps, even if that means just passing the word around.
Thank you sooo much to those that have already helped, no matter how it may have been, you have no idea how much this means to us!
I also want to send out a even more special thanks to Omneya! She has gone above and beyond to help us get others to donate! <3 ya girl! We owe you big time!

ATTN FOLLOWERS!!!
I am not sure if you are aware, but if you follow me that entitles you to be an exclusive. Which means that there are special tags that you will receive that the Always list doesn't. Only following does not put you on my always list. Therefor, if you wish to be on there AND receive exclusives please send me a message or comment here with the name you would prefer on the tags so I can add you to the always list.
ALSO, if you are a follower only, please send me an email or comment here with the name you would prefer me to use on the tags. Otherwise, I will just use the name that it shows you are following me by.
Thank you everyone
<3
