Good morning… or, afternoon I suppose! We have officially started what is a much needed vacation in Hawaii visiting family and friends. Even though we are away, I still plan to work and keep posting during this trip, but I won’t be on my typical daily post schedule. I have a few posts already planned, and over the next couple weeks I will bring you some tips for traveling with kids, and hopefully some fun, beach themed DIYs!

For today I would like to share with you one of the many reasons why I am so proud of my little sister Kayla. This year she has signed up to run the NYC marathon! She will be running in support of UNICEF. If you have any interest in donating, please visit her site here.

AND, if you donate between now and the middle of September, you will be entered to win one of three items I will be giving away! Donate before September 16th, and be sure to send me an email letting me know you did. I will add you to my giveaway list, and three lucky winners will be announced by Monday September 16th! No donation is too small, every little bit helps!
