The March for Babies is just six days away, on April 30. I’ve been working on my speech the last few days and I can’t shake this feeling of intense gratitude. I would not be speaking at the Los Angeles March next week if it wasn’t for all of you. When Maddie died, the outpouring of love and donations to March of Dimes could not be ignored by ANYONE. Because of you, we’ve been able to draw attention to prematurity and families living with loss. Because of the money you all have donated to our team, we’ve helped other families avoid the life that Mike and I live every day. Because of all of you, next week I get to stand up in front of 20,000 people and tell them about Maddie. I am so amazingly honored and thankful for the opportunities you all have given me.

If you want to walk with our team (either in person or in spirit), there is still time to join! Just click through to my page and hit the “walk with me” button. And if you want to donate to our team, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps, no matter the amount.

Welcome To The Jungle

~We took the kids to see The Jungle Book yesterday and we all enjoyed it very much. The film is absolutely gorgeous. The voice actors were great, but the little boy who plays Mowgli, Neel Sethi, is fantastic! Plus, he’s so damn cute I could just eat him up. I think they did a great job translating the original animated movie into live action. Annabel and James both said, “Can we watch it again?!” when the lights came up, which is very high praise.

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Thank you again, for everything.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
