Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I thought I'd display some of the ways you can support breast cancer research. I know there are so many ways to donate through "retail therapy". Please be sure that what you buy actually donates at least part of the proceeds for The Cause.

I always wear my pink ribbon on my shoulder, it's a tattoo in honor of my mom. (I know it's not the best picture)

Mom's Birthday

It was my mom's birthday on the 4th. The kids spray painted a wooden planter pink (they love to spray paint). We mixed some of my mom's ashes in some potting soil and planted a lime tree. My mom once said that when she died she wanted to be a tree, I'm not sure if this is what she meant. :S It was a nice way to honor her birthday and a good lesson about life cycles.

Yo-yo painted this, Chickie is what they call her instead of Grandma.

I painted the chicks.
