Every Spring when the March of Dimes walk comes around we love to support my cousin Codi, her husband Blake, and their daughter Lucy who was born at 1 lb 5 oz, 10 weeks early because of an IUGR. She is about the cutest thing that walks the earth. Red curls and all...
My mom came up with the brilliant idea this year to have a bake sale and donate the money earned to March of Dimes. Many of us baked up a STORM and had the best time doing it all. From making lists to packaging, it all came together, even on a rainy day.
In the beginning we were a bit nervous as we stared at three giant tables full to the brim of baked goods, and no one was biting. But Caitlin held our sign up on the road and it caught some attention!
It was a great way to bring our family together and show them how much we care about Lucy's cause.
Soon enough we had a steady stream of takers and before we knew it we were running out of things to sell... hopefully we'll get even more people next year as this should become a tradition for sure.
As my mom and I started counting the money, we guessed maybe $200 or $300 would be the total. Our final donation was almost $800 and we were all stunned. Watch for some amazingly tasty treats around MayDay of 2011!
Over the weekend came time for the walk, Go Team LucyBug!
