Driving with my small dude tonight – he was sharing the dream he plans to have when he goes to sleep…
It involves him, a soccer ball, a break away, a BIG KICK and, naturally, a goal.
The small girl, of course, wanted to chime in with her big dream too….though, she claimed, she was a bit frustrated, because this dream is one she has been thinking about for A LONG TIME.
A BABY SISTER.
(Cue screeching tires.)
And to combat my attempts to reason with her…. ie: Mommy and Daddy are happy with our little family of four, she responds: BUT ALL OF MY FRIENDS HAVE LITTLE SISTERS.
While this effects my desire to have another child NOT AT ALL, she is right about one thing – there are lots of babies and soon-to-be-babies in our world – and, I will admit, it is just a little slice of heaven.
I simply adore anything that celebrates the joy of this time.
Not that long ago I received an email from an old friend – sharing news about a woman who was doing just that – finding the fun and celebrating the joy in pregnancy…. AND doing good in the world.
Sign of Labor is the brain child of Ingrid Moriarty – a photographer and mother. As an expectant mother, she wanted other drivers to know she was on the road with them. Her special touch behind the lens was to encourage women to see the beauty in this time. And when she was in labor, she most definitely was hoping she could get where she needed to be (and in time!)
The Sign of Labor decals and car flags are the result. The decals and car flags let other drivers know there is extra-precious cargo on board. Darling as a shower gift….perfect to remind women of the celebration of their pregnancy as an active time.
Naturally, the decals are not safety devices and are not intended to promote driving while in labor.
As if I wasn’t already drawn to Ingrid, as part of her company’s mission, she donates 5% of all proceeds to a non-political, non-profit organization that supports the awareness and improvement of pregnancy in the U.S. and around the world. Their June donation was made to the March of Dimes.
