Author: This year, Tatertot and Zman joined Grandma & Grandpa on the 6 mile walk for the March for Babies.
I was not able to participate due to the stupidity of someone scheduling our soccer meeting that same morning.
I was however, able to take some pics of the event and wanted to share them with you.
Only in Green Bay would you see this!
We had a few more celebrity sightings as well!
Tatertot relaxing on the stroll.
Zman happy to be doing his part!
This made me think of Maddie Spohr!
After the week we’ve had around here I am now experiencing the BEST part of the week!
No, it has nothing to do with the fact that I dropped my car off to get fixed today.
The best part of my week, is hearing that the AMAZING Anissa Mayhew is returning to her family and heading home today!
Talk about some total awesomeness!
But of course, with the awesome comes the not so awesome.
Anissa will still need to go to an outpatient facility for therapy.
Even with the insurance, the family still has a $100 per day co-pay for her therapy.
So now, now is the time to give like you have never given before.
Even if it is only $1.00, it will help.
I cut out a few things I had budgeted this week that we really didn’t need so that our family could contribute.
Anissa is an unbelievably amazing and talented woman who deserves to receive all the help she can get.
She is an amazing mother of 3 and wife to Peter.
There family has been through a lot of tough times and after being apart for the last 92 days, they will finally be a family again….under one roof.
Please do your part to help.
Thank you.

I have never been the type of person to ask for help for myself but when it comes to my friends, I will do whatever I can to help them.
A great friend of mine who is a single mom of 4 kids ages 14, 9, 8 and 22 months has been hit with nothing but bad luck these last few days.
First off, I want to tell you what a great person she is.
Not only is she a single mom to 4 amazing kids, she also works a full-time job Sunday-Thursday, takes care of a disabled woman 150 miles away every other weekend and is a full-time student pursuing her nursing degree.
She is an amazing mom, daughter, sister and friend.
This week, she is seriously struggling to be the best she can be.
On Sunday, her car decided it did not want to work anymore and died a mile from home.
She is now all of these amazing things but without a car.
She has 3 children she needs to transport to school.
She needs to be able to get herself to work.
For the past few days, she was relying on her mom to help with transporting everyone however today, her mom’s car broke down as well.
They are not a wealthy family.
They struggle to buy things that most of us can run out and buy any time we need too.
They do not have the money to repair either vehicle.
Every extra penny that they did have has gone towards giving the kids a great Christmas.
This is where I need you.
My friend is the kind of person who won’t ask for help.
She is to proud of a person to do so.
She simply lives paycheck to paycheck to provide for her family.
I am the kind of person who will seek out help for a friend to help get her back on her feet using any method I have available.
For now I am helping by providing transportation for her entire family and will be donating all of my ad revenue for the month of December to her family.
What I am asking of you, and please don’t feel obligated, is to be a little extra giving this holiday season and help out another mom.
If you can donate anything, even $1.00, it’s one step closer to helping her get back on her own two feet.
I have seen this community to amazing things to help out another mom when she’s down and hope you can find it in your heart to help another.
