Angels Everywhere

This will be a short and sweet one today as this girl is heading off to the golf course shortly.

Yes, on a school day.

Golfing, beers, nice weather and some of my fave girls? Count me in.

As if that isn't reason enough, we are doing it for a great cause, too.

As you guys have heard me mention in the past, I've been involved with Angels Among Us since 2008 and I'm obsessed. Quick background is we are a local, small organization who raises funds for families who have children with cancer. We give them a monthly stipend that goes right to pay some of their monthly bills so they can concentrate on their child and be there for treatments, doctor's visits and just be with their little one.
I still feel so honored that I get to be involved and Nick & I try to help in any way we can throughout the year. The families and children I've met since being involved have stolen a piece of my heart and it's something that no one should ever have to go through with their little. Ever.

And if I'm lucky, some of the children we've helped who are in remission (yay!) will be on the course with us today. That is really the best part. These kids are inspiring, as are their parents, and I love being surrounded by them and their happy spirits.

Which makes me thankful for every single moment with this guy. Seriously thankful that we've only experienced minor bumps during his sweet life.

And, yes, I'm the mom who classifies donuts as breakfast and justifies a donut with my Starbucks because I can't let Cruz eat one alone....


Linking up with Katie as well as Ashley and Jess on this gorgeous day. Squeeze your kiddos extra tight. Just because you can.
