a few things.

This post will be a little all over the place, so bare with me here :)

First, check out how adorable my niece is. I do like to brag about her, but I'm also posting this picture so you can see my awesome Wild Fire Tee I bought to benefit those effected by the fire in Colorado. It is perfect fitting, comfy and best of all it is helping save the world. I'd love to see your pictures if you bought one too....or click here if you still need to get yours!

Second, I received a great donation this weekend from my sister Jackie for Ashleigh's school, Great Lakes Academy. There were also a few ladies from her work who bought school supplies as well....so thank you to Sharon and Denise from the Chocolate Factory. You rock! Between the three of them, we added the following:

*18 (24 packs) of crayons
*2 boxes of band aids
*1 large hanitizer
*2 cans of wipes
*15 folders
*4 notebooks
*1 box of Kleenex
*268 pens
*324 pencils
*24 glue sticks
*14 (12 pack) colored pencils
*12 (10 pack) markers
*8 (100 pack) paper
*6 dry erase markers
*12 highlighters
*17 rulers

Nice work ladies :)

There is still plenty of time to get your donation to me! I am heading over to Great Lakes Academy the second weekend in September, so email me at bethechangemakethedifference@gmail.com if you have a donation. Click here to view the list of needed items again.

Be the change. Make the difference.

There are a lot of tragic things that happen in the world. A lot of terribly awful tragic things that happen which we have no control over. Things we see on the news that make your mouth drop in shock, with no words to say. 

Things like the Waldo Canyon Fire.

Things like this you want to help with, but the question is how? 

That's where Wild Fire Tees comes in. I was reading the news the other day, and came across a news article about how just a few small business owners and designers got together in Colorado Springs to figure out a way to help. Their original goal was to design and sell t-shirts, enough to raise $1500.

huffingtonpost.com

They surpassed that goal. By 21,300 percent. 

Within six days, they raised $320,000 to give to the Colorado Red Cross and Care and Share food bank, who are both on the front lines of the wildfire.

Since the amount of orders came pouring in, they have created a "round two" of shirts, which 100% of proceeds will go to Colorado Fire Relief Fund 2012 and immediate local wildfire relief. You are also able to buy a shirt to give to a firefighter working the flames. 

Now, I'm a sucker for a good, comfy t-shirt. But I'm even more of a sucker for a good, comfy t-shirt that helps save the world. Especially when they say great things like "More disco, less inferno," "Let's see your best rain dance," and "Stay Wild" (see pic!).


If you want to help out the people in Colorado, some who have lost everything, all you have to do is buy a shirt. Not into shirts like me? Start your Christmas shopping and buy one for someone on your list. It's as easy as that, folks.
