A Woman's Prerogative...

Hey, remember yesterday when I showed photos of the bedding I liked for Brian's big boy bed?

Yeah, about that...

Brian would like to show you his new bedding set and explain how he feels about it. Watch this...

The comforter is a down alternative - very thin - and it feels like silk.

I was able to get the comforter, sheets, pillow cases and shams and bedskirt which I just tucked under the boxspring...

for...are you sitting down?

$29.99!!

All of it! I found it at Marshall's! Then I found the fun dotted pillow at Home Goods, where I also got a plant that reminded me of the islands because...well...at that point I just couldn't stop myself.

The cute jungle stool is actually Gavin's! It was a Baptism gift from his Godfather. It looks so good in Brian's room, though, that I may just have to find Gavin another one to match his room.

This morning we had our house cleaned professionally so the boys and I spent much of our morning outside. We went for a walk...played on the swingset and then we took a slow drive around town to hunt for flags. Brian was in Heaven when I took him to the Freedoms Foundation. They have a flag flying that is probably as big as a house. All I heard from the backseat was WOW over and over and over.

Later on I spent two hours shopping by myself which was MY Heaven. Ed stayed home and played with the boys. They miss their Daddy during the weekdays. I love how their faces light up when he walks into the room. Gavin, especially...he is Daddy's boy!!

Gavin's Playground Project

Gavin's Playground Project was born from my desire to see an "All Abilities" playground built at Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. This is the hospital where Gavin spent a lot of time during his life... and where he ultimately died, surrounded by friendly and familiar faces. To mark the one year anniversary of his death, I held a fundraiser on April 5, 2014. You can read all about it in THIS post.

We raised a LOT of money, but not enough for a playground! If you would like to contribute to help make this playground a reality - so no kids will ever have to sit on the sidelines watching their peers play - you can contribute directly to the hospital through the Chasing Rainbows fundraising page HERE. Your donation will go directly to the hospital for the playground and is tax deductible. You can also create your own fundraising team page and start collecting donations in honor of anyone you want!! There is also a mailing address on their page if you prefer to mail a check. Designate your contribution in memory of Gavin Leong - or write in that this is for the playground so your dollars will go to the right place. Thank you for your support of Gavin's Playground Project!

Gavin's Trust Project

I created "Gavin's Trust Project" to help support Gavin's friends who receive services from the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Pennsylvania. I wanted to continue to try to "make the impossible... possible" for kids like Gavin, knowing well how hard it can be to get much needed "special needs" items. It makes me happy to know that even after his death, Gavin continues to help others. Click HERE to learn more about the Trust Project! All of your donations, big and small, will be added to Gavin's Trust Project to help therapists and teachers get what they need for children in this program. You can write a check made out to CCIU and mail it to: Chester County Intermediate Unit, c/o Deb Hiller, 455 Boot Rd., Downingtown, PA 19335. Please be sure to add "Gavin's Trust Project" in the memo. Thank you on behalf of me and my little superhero!
