Little Einstein's "Royal Reader"

I had the great pleasure of being a Royal Reader at my daughter's pre-school. I love when I can do things that promote literacy in our schools! This year was extra special because it is the last year my daughter will be there, as she will be graduating and moving on to kindergarten next year. All the students were so well behaved and boy, did they have good listening skills - I was so impressed, but then again, not really - the school and teachers are FABULOUS!!!! I read my daughter's favorite new story "Purplicious" - it was a hit and she was so proud of her mama:)

March of Dimes ~ Signature Chefs Event

March of Dimes

Signature Chefs Auction

November 9th,2009

at

The Executive Court Banquet Facility

Manchester, NH

It's what they call "A Black Bib Event", so fitting! I absolutely adore the March of Dimes and the work they do to help babies live healthier and longer lives! It's their mission and I find it to be so profound, after all, it's how we all began and there is nothing more important than our health and well being.

The event featured delectable tasting from New Hampshire's finest chefs and the opportunity to bid on unique and desirable auction packages, whereby all the proceeds benefit the mission of the March of Dimes! Karen Dennis and Meghan Roche of the March of Dimes NH chapter put on an amazing event and should be proud of the work they do - 2 amazing women that I am so proud to know and be involved with! We raised over $35,000 at this event - that is HUGE considering our economy - Major Kudos to everyone - thank you soo very much, you have no idea how much this is needed and what good it will do!!

The Junior Service League of Concord presented the American Girl Fashion Show to benefit children in crisis in their community. I had the great pleasure of going to this event because my daughter was selected to be one of the American Girl Doll models ~ Rebecca, the newest American Girl doll! Can I tell you how exciting it was to watch my big girl do this? Not only does she love American Girl dolls and everything else they have, but to have the chance to be in the show - OH MY GOSH - she was THRILLED!!! All the girls were wonderful and had an incredible time! I was so excited to share this with her as both mama and Mrs. New Hampshire United States - we were soo very proud of her - she ROCK IT!
