Noonday

Oh Noonday. How I've fallen in love. My journey with Noonday is still so new. Only about three months in so far, but let me tell you... my boats been rocked. On a daily basis you can find me wearing items I've never worn before, saying things I've never said, and doing things I've never done.

I'm that girl who is all dolled up and approaching people.  On many occasions I've turned to my husband and said "who is she?!" But y'all, it feels great! I finally feel like ( beyond my family and church) I have a purpose, and one that brings me great joy. Tomorrow I get to host my first adoption fundraiser, and I could not be more excited! The Gould Family have been friends of ours for quite a while now. Heather took our awesome family photos. I've had the privilege of watching their adoption from very early stages, and I am honored to get to help them raise money to bring their little girl, Zoe home from Ethiopia soon. It has not been easy, as no adoption ever is. Tomorrow, with the help of Noonday I hope to help make at least this week a little easier. Did you know you can donate your hostess rewards to an adopting family? Noonday loves adoption. In fact, it started because of adoption. Today Noonday will provide adopting families with 10% of any trunk shows final sales! You can even hold an adoption for a friend who's adopting and still earn half priced items for yourself! Tomorrow we will gather with lots of friends and talk... about adoption, and orphans, and preventing crisis. We get to talk about solutions. We get to create solutions. All while looking beautiful and laughing, tons. This is so important I'm making a weekend out of it and driving the three and half hours. My husband is staying home from work to keep the kids. It was an easy choice, because its worth it. Just worth it.
