Happy Friday everyone!

As you may know back in April I became an Epicure Brand Ambassador. I've really been enjoying it and my family loves the products. Anyways, I don't normally post about those things here, but I wanted this to reach as many people as I could because is very important to me.

Epicure has a pretty great fundraiser program and I am pretty excited to share that I'm running a little fundraiser, starting today, to raise some money to put into our local (Westshore) Salvation Army Christmas Kettle!

🌟 A little backstory:
Since Austin was little (he's now 18 for those who don't know us well) we have received so much assistance from the Salvation Army. We've received many food hampers from them over the years and most years Christmas doesn't happen for us without one of their food and toy hampers. A lot of our toys, books, clothes and household items have come from their thrift stores. Recently our local SA church went out of their way to drop a hamper at our home when we were in need and couldn't get out to pick one up. I take Evan and his friends to their Play Cafe when we need an outing and they have so much fun and it's such a great welcoming space!

I don't have the means to give back as much as I would like to. We donate most of our gently used items to their thrift stores, but I wanted to do something MORE! Then at Play Cafe last week they let us know they were looking for volunteers for the annual Christmas Kettle Drive and an idea was formed!

Evan and I will be volunteering on December 9th, ringing the bells and collecting donations in the Kettle bell...and we would LOVE for everyone to help us raise some money that we can add to the Kettle when we go to our volunteer shift!

🌟 How it works:
1. Purchase a Fundraiser Collection from me for $25, by midnight December 3rd. The collection includes 5 meal solutions and 1 dessert. (Meal solutions help you get dinner on the table in about 20 minutes!!)

2. I submit an order for all of the Collections purchased. They will arrive by Xmas, come in a lovely box and would make great gifts! 😉

3. $10 from each collection sold will go to the Kettle Drive! On December 9th when Evan and I go to our volunteer shift, we'll go live on facebook so anyone who wants to can watch us put YOUR donations into the Kettle!

4. Collections will ship to me and I will deliver them
