“Every day is Mother’s Day” Blog Blast
Filed Under blog blast, charity | Leave a Comment
Mother’s Day is less than a week away so PBN and Johnson’s have teamed up for a Blog Blast to promote their new charitable giving site, Johnson’s Baby Cause, powered by Global Giving.
To participate write a post on your blog about how you want to be recognized this Mother’s Day. Post anytime between now and next Thursday, May 8 and include links to http://www.babycause.com and http://blog.parentbloggers.com. PBN is donating $25 on the behalf of 10 winners and Johnson’s is hosting a celeb Ebay auction that’s worth checking out.
Personally I don’t necessarily want to change anything about how I’m recognized on Mother’s day. My family does a great job of making me feel like a queen. The whole day is about me. We eat brunch at our local botanical garden and then spend the afternoon walking around the garden. My husband and I were married in the Japanese garden so our kids love visiting where “mommy and daddy got married”. I get a ridiculously expensive gift from my husband and sentimental gifts from the kids. Of course everyone is on their best behavior.
In a perfect world everyday would be like Mother’s Day but I would be willing to settle for a “Mother’s Day” once a month!

A Simple Way Every Mom Can Help Autism Research
Filed Under charity | 3 Comments
With the high prevalence of autism in today’s world, most of us have in some way been touched by it. Either you know someone who has it or you are personally dealing with it. I recently discovered this touching video about a child who has autism and the fight the parents are waging to get help for their precious little girl. For me, it put “autism” in a whole new light. The video shows parents (like all of us) celebrating the birth of a new baby. We watch as this little girl grows, smiling and talking and hitting all of her developmental milestones and then suddenly …….. silence.
For charity specific donations whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will pay $1.00 per view of the designated charity’s videos - until the number of viewings equals the amount donated less .04 per view. The .04 expense is Revver.com’s .03/view webhosting charge and California Community Foundation’s (CCF) 1% administrative expense. OVER 95% of money donated goes directly to the chosen charity!The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.
