ps.

My lovely friend M is obviously out to make me very homesick and is sharing her impressive gardening inside an oven on a blog. The woman is a whiz when it comes to cooking and cocktails. I'm looking forward to some nice drink & food from the garden tales. Hint, hint.

pps. I've mentioned Help A Mother Out (HAMO) quite a few times here. HAMO was the inspiration behind the Mother's Day Diaper Drive.

These two women and their blog provided me (an individual of limited financial means and time) with:
a manageable objective: make a child's life a little easier, safer, and happier, at least for a little while and in so doing help a family
An easy way to do it: donate some diapers, by pointing, clicking and helping.
Ask your friends to help. Which I did and you did. Thank you.
AND the hint of a possibility of doing something to close this stupid gap in the social safety network and people to work with on this.

So I nominated Help A Mother Out for the most inspiring blog on http://www.socialluxelounge.com/blogluxe/. There are other blogs that make me cry or laugh, others that make angry about the state of our world, yet more that I read that make me feel rather feeble with regards parenting, activism, crafting etc. HAMO moves me from rhetoric to action from nearly 7000 miles away via the internet and I am very grateful for that.

If you have a sec and like what HAMO is doing will you pop on over and vote for them please.
