We are just a little over a week away from our Rockin' For Rett event!!! I hope everyone will come join me at Piggys as we kick off Rett Syndrome Awareness month! There are LOTS of great silent auction items including Coach bags, Vera Bradley, Trine University Gear/ Athletic Passes, Jewelry, and more!! Also, there will be great local vendors like Beijo Bags, Pampered Chef, Scentsy Candles just to name a few!
Or just come out for the drinks, food and fun, it all starts at 6:00 pm. The cover is only $10! Hope to see you there!!!!

Last week we had Brooklyn's Kindergarten school pictures....here she is all smiles at home! Then......while she was at school she fell. OUCH! She is ok.....I think they got the picture prior to the accident - but this is a PERFECT example of why she needs a one on one aide with her at all times. I think this was an eye opener for everyone!

Hey all you Rett Syndrome families out there.....we ALL know that Rett Syndrome Awareness month is just around the corner! One of the best ways that I educate people about Rett is through the PURPLE CARD! This card has the words to say during those times when we just don't. It is perfect in line at the grocery, when tou are out to eat, for new doctors, actually anyone really! If YOU want to have "the power of the purple card." Order some for your daughter today!

Well... I took the kiddos to get their pictures taken. I wanted to get some of Boston for his first birthday and though it would be a WONDERFUL idea to get some of the kiddos together! Ummmm turned out to be not so wonderful....
To see some of Boston that did make the cut....check out his blog here:

(I want to thank Joan Sanborn who was a SAINT at trying to get the pictures!)

Personalized Stamp

YAY! Brooklyn's name stamp came in! I want to thank Bridget for the AMAZING idea to get Brooklyn her own stamp for school. Now she can put her name on all of her papers and projects at school just like all of her friends do! I think she wanted mommy to do the work for her :)

Of course once she saw what it did, she changed her mind! ;)

Yep....I think she likes it! "Brookie, mommy has a good idea (or steals a good idea) every once in awhile!"

It is already in her school bag...she is pumped!

I can't believe that September is hear! What's next? OCTOBER and Rett Syndrome awareness month!!! Girl Power 2 Cure has an amazing nationwide project that EVERYONE can get involved with. It is called "Garden Of Hope" (It is like the Children's Miracle Network paper balloons, only we have an amazing flower; you know...... Pay $1 to write your name on the flower)

Ready to head to school! All smiles as usual! I want to thank Maren (a fellow Rett mommy) for these super cute hair clips - which she said were "GP2C" inspired! We LOVE them!
