I have seen many posting their Appreciation posts this week and I’ve learned that it stems back to Darren’s Unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day post. Darren asked us to do one nice thing to those that we appreciate, I’m choosing to thank those that link to me for this past month. Don’t forget to pay it forward.

Here are my thank you to those that have recently linked to me:

Thank you all for linking to Babylune for one thing or another. It’s greatly appreciated. If I forgot someone please let me know as I’d love to give you a bit of linky love. While the list may be for those that have linked to me, I also want to say thanks to the readers that come by here week after week and to those that leave comments. Believe it or not, those comments really make a moms day…at least this one. Who do you appreciate? If you take part in the “Blogger Appreciation Day” let me know in the comments so everyone can read it.

World Vision is a Popular Choice

Between Kerri whose post appears in part three of the Generous December Group Writing Project and Reid Elizabeth’s Mommy whose post appears in part six, World Vision has two amazing supporters.

You also reminded me of the third supporter. My great-aunt Mary goes over the World Vision gift catalogue with more enthusiasm than my children spend on the toy ads that arrive in our mailbox every Saturday between mid-October and mid-December. In fact, Aunt Mary has been the inspiration behind charitable campaigns I’ve run in the past.

This year, I toyed with the idea of getting Aunt Mary something else for Christmas. There are so many worthwhile charities, so many that reflect my auntie’s love of children, of medical access activism, of social justice.

Still, a favorite is a favorite, Kerri and Reid’s mother reminded me. So, Aunt Mary, this year I made a $20 donation to the World Vision Emergency Preparedness fund as your Christmas gift. With our climate suffering and so many emergencies being created as a result, it seemed like the place you would most want your gift to go.

Merry Christmas Aunt Mary (and Reid Elizabeth, her mommy, and Kerri).
