This Family NEEDS Your Help!!!

By
So, I don't normally do this or reach out like this to you all, however I feel so compelled to do so at this point...I would appreciate you all reading through and perhaps seeing what you can do.
Amy Bixby is a devoted wife and nurturing mother of 7 children. In 2008, Amy was diagnosed with Stage III Breast cancer...and at the same time, she found out she was expecting baby #7. Wow...I cannot imagine. Her cancer faded into just a memory following the birth of her son, chemotherapy, radiation and assistance from the Susan B. Komen Foundation. Her life brightened and she returned to her home and family.
Sadly, after blood work in 2010, cancer was found in her spine, liver and hips. Upon this discovery, Amy was given a grim outlook.


Today, she is in Hospice and has currently been comatose for 48 hours. Each of her 7 young children have been brought in to say goodbye to her and her life is about to end.
I am not one to beg, plead or ask for anything...but I would ask one thing. This family is in tremendous need of your prayers. There is also a way to donate financially if you feel so led. This story just rips my heart to the core and I cannot imagine what this sweet family is dealing with right now. I think sometimes that I have a rough life...then a story like this comes across my path and I realize that MY LIFE is a BED OF ROSES compared to some. How dare I think otherwise. Please, do what you can but most importantly...do not take what you have for granted. Thank you all for your consideration and for reading this!!!


*****UPDATE******
This morning (8/19) at 6:55AM, Amy passed away. Please continue to pray for this family as they walk out this time of grief in their lives.

    It really makes our "problems" not seem like so much! I just spent a little while reading over their website. I'm definitely praying for her family!

    I cry right now with many tears for this family. After a bad night here of fierce storms my family is safe and everyone is healthy. After realizing we were not harmed during this fierce storm only a broken window in a car that can be fixed. I have to repent for being so shallow and feeling like my life is so terrible. I will be praying for this family . Thank you for sharing.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

By
How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer!

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

By
Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
