Warm Fuzzies

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you know Bon Lemon is committed to charitable giving. And you know, recently, we donated some books to my friend's classroom in need.

Today, I received an envelope full of handwritten cards from the students in my friend's classroom. They are soooo cute! A whole stack full of thoughtful cards like these. I was welling up. Seriously. Warm fuzzies. Tear.

And in case you were wondering, I like the book The Alchemist. I do not have any kids. (Well, Dolce Vita Evans...) I do sell shiny stuff! And we have snow in Washington, but not nearly as much as these guys do.

Clearly, each of these cards will be getting a written reply.

What made you feel warm and fuzzy today?

Children and Books

Children need notebooks to learn how to write. And crayons to learn how to draw. And books to learn how to read. I know these are obvious statements, but sometimes the most obvious things aren't obvious until they are staring you right in the face. And sometimes the obvious things are the easiest to forget. (Or maybe I just need to pay more attention...)

A friend of mine teaches at a school where the children's needs are very basic. And oftentimes, her children are without notebooks, crayons, and books. They aren't getting iPads or taking field trips; the teachers are trying to figure out how to teach kids to write, without a notebook.

This week, Bon Lemon is sending books to my friend's classroom. I don't have children, and I don't know much about children's books, but some friends and I picked out our favorites and tried to find fun, new ones. We wouldn't be able to do this without the support of our trunk show hostesses and customers. Thank you ladies, for helping us spread the Bon Lemon love. Putting on something sparkly, is sending books to kids who need them.
