Holiday Cards{Shutterfly Giveaway-3 Winners}

**CLOSED**

It's hard to believe that with Fall come thoughts of Christmas. I have been thinking about it a lot lately and even though Halloween hasn't come and gone it's on my mind. Whether you take pictures of the kids for every holiday or just the 'big' ones, it can be a chore. Planning a day with the photographer, get the kids' cute outfits, get the kids dressed, bribe them to be good and then when your there getting them to all smile at the same time. Not only can it be a chore, it can also be expensive, you have the photographers fees, the clothing, and the packages! It can be daunting. Until I came across Shutterfly, they make it easy and affordable to have good quality prints.

Having a Halloween Party? Get some Halloween Invitations or you can get Halloween photo cards of the kids in their costumes!

I am going to start on my Christmas Photo Cards and party invitations.

Shutterfly has a lot to offer as a way of saving and treasuring your photos, not only for you but for the special people in your life. Whether your looking to get a photo book, cards or stationary you can get it all at Shutterfly!

Great Conversation{Pieces}

 

When I came across Conversation Pieces I was absolutely enamored not only by the sheer uniqueness of this shop, but by the people behind it! Conversation Pieces is a shop where you can get specialty chosen one of a kind clothing and accessories from independent-indie designers-they are unique, favorably priced and well-'Conversation Pieces!'


Daydreamer Necklace $22

Audrey's Bio: When I started Conversation Pieces in my bedroom eight years ago, I couldn't have possibly imagined what it would become or the enormous friendships that it’s brought me. We've grown so much over the years, sometimes in small ways (but in many big ways too),



Then, I had just relocated from Singapore to Los Angeles. Clueless in a new land, I found young people online who shared my passion in fashion and design, who were interested to showcase their works beyond the United States. In my bedroom, on a laptop, I built a website to host the works of these designers.


Richest Wrist Bracelet $9

 Word of mouth within the indie industry soon sent other design students from fashion schools as far as Spain, the UK, Australia and Greece to us, and soon a global design community formed. I had known nothing about the fashion business. All I wanted to do was create a venue for young indie designers to be able to sell their creations.

As people started to hear about us, we grew.



Seafoam Dream Blouse $36



I moved the business from the bedroom, to

the living room, to our guest house. My               
techie husband upgraded me to a more
powerful laptop, I continued to take photos,
write descriptions and ship out of our home.

Conversation Pieces has grown steadily
and shoppers at Conversation Pieces know they can get unique,
one of a kind, limited quantity creations, while at the same time supporting indie fashion around the world.

Conversation Pieces is all the buzz they have been featured in CaliforniaApparelNews.net as well as on other blogs and in various magazines such as Posh Glam, Going Home to Roost,  Spoiled Little LA Girls, Just to name a few!

Wow & Forever Dress $42

Right now Conversation Pieces is having a Wife/GF Appreciation Week with 15% any order!

Lose-A-Palooza September 14th

On September 14, 2010, you can! Lose-A-Palooza is a one-day social media event created to encourage participation in the Lose For Good® campaign to benefit Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger.

Why Childhood Hunger Is Important

Hunger impairs our children’s health in significant and long-lasting ways:
-Children who struggle with hunger are sick more often, recover more slowly, and are more likely to be hospitalized, at an average cost of $12,000 per pediatric stay.
-They are more likely to experience headaches, stomachaches, colds, ear infections and fatigue.iii
-Children who face hunger are more susceptible to obesity and its harmful health consequences as children and as adults.
-Hunger impedes our children’s ability to learn and perform academically.
-Undernourished children under the age of 3 cannot learn as much, as fast or as well .
-Lack of enough nutritious food impairs a child’s ability to concentrate and perform well in school.
-Children who don’t get enough nutritious food are more susceptible to the negative effects of skipping breakfast on their ability to think and learn.x
-Hunger predisposes our children to emotional and behavioral difficulties:
-Children who regularly do not get enough nutritious food have have more behavioral, emotional and academic problems and tend to be more aggressive and anxious.
-Teens who regularly do not get enough to eat are more likely to be suspended from school and have difficulty getting along with other kids.

49.1 million Americans - including nearly 17 million children - lack the means to regularly put enough nutritious food on the table . They are food insecure and struggle with hunger.


Food insecurity exists in 14.6% of all U.S. households:
-42.2% of all households at or below the poverty line
-37.2% of all single-mom households

Families struggling with hunger experience three or more symptoms of food insecurity during seven months of the year, on average.

Symptoms of food insecurity include running out of food without money to buy more, cutting portion sizes or skipping meals, and not feeding children in the family because there isn’t money for food.

For about one-fourth of families struggling with hunger, symptoms are frequent or chronic.
-83.6% live in major metropolitan areas
-67.7% live above the poverty line
-52.1 % are white
-48.7% (8.3 million) have kids under 18

Food insecurity affects nearly 17 million children in America.
-34% more than last year
-48.7% live in married-couple families
-41.9% live in single-mom families
-41.2% live at or below the poverty line
-40.3% live in the South
-35.5% live in cities outside of major metro areas

That's a lot of hunger going on, and it's amazing that in America we have this many hungry kids and families. But there is something that we can all do about it and as a matter of fact here is the opportunity!!!
