Monogram Necklace to support Friend Adopting a little girl from China

 My friend Gretchen and her family are adopting a sweet little girl, Lillian from China. To help her raise money for the adoption journey I will be giving them half of all the profits from any Monogrammed Initial Necklace purchased now until her arrival (they probably will go to pick her up in June). The necklaces can be for you, a mom, a best friend. Initials can always be added if it is for a mom that may have more kiddos in the future.
You can get a Monogram Necklace at www.RockyMountainMommas.etsy.com

or you can just email me at saraballard6@yahoo.com if you don't want to set up an etsy account.
Abalone

Mother of Pearl (also can come in a soft green mussel shell)

Also, check out their blog for more info on their adoption story! http://coloradofranks.com/


Thanks,
Sara

Snow!!! Winter 2013

Well, the Ballard boys have hit the slopes this winter for some skiing! Dre and I are happy to say that all boys are on skis and making huge improvements! Jake has missed every other Friday of school to hit the slopes and it has certainly been worth it! He went once with just me and last Friday Andreas and him went up together. The other times we have went with all of the boys and over President's Day weekend we went with Gramma, Papa and the Eliasons! Our snow here is so random and we have many warm blue sky days so we have to get out and enjoy the snow when we can!...although I am getting antsy for spring and getting the garden going!
