Looking for a Good Cause?
One blog I enjoy reading is called Owlhaven. She has 10 kids–6 of them adopted, 4 from Ethiopia, 2 from Korea. Today she's having a Blanket Party! Why? I'll let her explain:
For those of you who are tuning in to my blog for the first time, this summer my mom, dad and sister are headed to Ethiopia to volunteer at the Soddo Hospital in a remote area of southern Ethiopia.
Because of the poverty in the area, many new moms go home from the hospital with literally nothing for their babies — not even a baby blanket. Can you imagine not having a blanket for your newborn? The hospital workers have told us that they would love to have a stash of blankets to give to moms for their infants, and I would love to help grant that wish.
If you want to click on over there and read more about the party or her, feel free! We felt it was a good cause to help out and wanted to share.

I’ll look into this. Thanks for the heads up!
