Anyways, I used to follow her blogs (she had 2) daily. I would stay up into the night just reading the wealth of info she had on Ethiopia. After awhile, life got too busy around here and I slowly started "tuning in" less and less. Nowadays I'm up until the wee hours of the night trying to catch up on posting to my own blog! I'm still very far behind...but I digress.
I just revisited Owlhaven blog and see that Mary is doing an online fundraiser called a "Blanket Party" that I think is amazing. I wanted to post the link here so if anyone else was interested they could link to the Owlhaven blog on Feb 1 to partake in the event. (Just click on my post title and you will link to the Blanket Party info post) In short the idea of the fundraiser is to provide some much needed blankets to women delivering babies in Ethiopia. The women at the hospital said that most women arrive at the hospital with absolutely nothing for their babies, not even a blanket to wrap them in. The money donated on line on Feb 1 will all go to the purchasing of blankets for the new moms. It's amazing to think of all the "things" we had for our babies... I can not begin to imagine to be so poor that you wouldn't even have a blanket to wrap your newborn in!
I'll be on the link on Friday!
