Why is voting in the Pepsi Refresh project so important? Because it can lead to days like today... Cecily's Closet was blessed with amazing donations from Beach Bungalow Designs in Del Mar! After recently moving to a new location in Flower Hill, this beautiful boutique (that boasts everything from casual to luxurious children's bedding, upholstery, window treatments, and furniture) was making way for new inventory. The owner, Tritia, saw our pleas for votes and offered us the chance to pick up a car-load of beautiful items that range from a Surfs Up boys bed set, to ladybug crib bedding, to pink satin and ruffles that would make any little princess smile! Cecily's Closet hit the jackpot and we are thrilled! Every single item we received was over-the-top adorable. If you have not checked out this store, I encourage you to do so! It is a magical sea of eye candy for you and your kids! We are very grateful and we really appreciate the blessings we received today! Thank you Beach Bungalow Designs!
I can't believe it is Sunday night already. The weekend flew by once again and I am busy preparing for the week ahead. Both kids are sleeping (Dad too) and I can only hear the hum of the dishwasher and the washer/dryer. With Noah - the hurricane Ackerly - in bed I can finally start to pick-up the house after quite a busy and messy weekend. Cecily is sleeping, too. She had an up and down weekend so we're just hoping that tomorrow brings a better day. She is so tough and watching her struggle and shudder with pain is something that no parent should have to witness. It just makes us want to fight harder to ensure she has the happiest, best start possible. Noah continues to cheer Cecily on and he is first in line to stop her from crying. He offers her his hair to pull, or his hand to hold and the interaction between them is priceless. It is an inspiration to us on days when life appears less than inspirational.
Well that's the laundry buzzer. Time to get back to it! Thank you to the supporters of Cecily's Closet for voting! I know it seems like a long-shot... but anything worth having is worth fighting for. We got a rejection letter this week for a 10K grant so we'll just continue to beat the drum and look for opportunities here, there and everywhere! Onwards & upwards!
