HAITI RELIEF

I am sure that many of you have been following the horrific events that have unfolded in Haiti. The news of the deadly earthquake deeply saddened both Sharon & I, but the relief efforts that have since followed have been truly amazing! Last summer, I led a mission trip to an orphanage in Haiti called the Hands and Feet Project.  The children there were precious! Not only did this orphanage care for their own, but had developed food programs to help their entire community. Raising funds for those less fortunate in Haiti has been near and dear to my heart, even prior to this catastrophe.  Now, the need is greater than ever. Hands and Feet is one of the few local organizations leading the relief effort and getting supplies to those most in need.  Please visit their site for updates at www.handsandfeetproject.org

Pixie Bows has decided to donate 50% of all online retail sales placed in the month of February to help Hands and Feet continue their relief efforts in Haiti. I know many around me who have asked how can they help.  Well, here is a way…buy a Pixie Bows’ hair clip!  Not only will you get one of our unique and trendy hair clips, but you will be donating to the relief efforts in Haiti.  What a win-win situation for everyone!

PHOTO CONTEST:

We also have a photo contest running from Feb-April with the winning photo being featured on our online site for the entire month of May. Photos of your little cuties wearing Pixie Bows can be submitted to Sharon@pixiebows.com and we will share all the submissions on our facebook page and blog. The winner will also receive one of our new products that we are debuting at the ENK Children Show in New York City this March.

All this week a group of bloggers, including Buried with Children, Mayhem & Moxie, 7 Clown Circus, Scary Mommy, Adventures in Babywearing, The Extraordinary Ordinary, & Mama’s Losin’ It, will be working together to promote an event entitled, Blog • Bid • Hope.  By hosting a three day auction, their goal is to raise money on behalf of the Liz Logelin Foundation, as well as Anissa Mayhew, a 35 year old blogger who recently suffered a stroke. The auction will offer a variety of items, including blog designs, accessories, electronics, baby gear and art.  Do some good over the holiday season and donate to the members of the on-line community who need our support.  Because different items will be available for bidding on all seven sites, you are sure to please anyone on your holiday list!

If you are looking for more info, you can find it in the preview post here: http://mayhemandmoxie.com/blog-bid-hope/

Also, starting on Wednesday, we are going to be very active on Twitter promoting the auction.  The hashtag is #blogbidhope.  If you see anything worth retweeting, please do so.  I’ve included the Twitter IDs for the sites hosting the auction below.

PIGTAIL PALS

FDPD911 (9)Pigtail Pals is a new company for girls created by Melissa Wardy, a mom who wanted better choices when it came to the messages on her daughter’s clothing. Pigtail Pals has set out to Redefine Girly, with designs showing girls as race car drivers, astronauts, movie directors, fire fighters…all designs use hints of bold color and a play on words. For example, our Carpenter tee says “I broke a nail…” and the Movie Director tee says “Act like a lady…” Our designs and Redefine Girly message intend to show girls that being smart, daring and adventurous is being girly. So far, girls seem to love the idea they can be something other than a princess. Our shirts are a huge hit with the 2-12year old set, and our onesies are popular as baby gifts. Four of our designs were such a hit with moms that we offer them in Ladies sizes as well!July 29 ShootShoot 7.29 039

Pigtail Pals is a Socially Responsible company, something we are very proud of. Our shirts are sweatshop free, child-labor free. We use local vendors and recyclable materials whenever possible. In order to show girls they can have a lasting, meaningful impact on the world, we choose a Charity of the Month that we donate $1 with every tshirt sale. Here at Pigtail Pals we want girls to be proud to be courageous, intelligent and independent. One tshirt at a time..
