onesies

I recently stopped in baby gap to pick up a gift for my friend Alix’s baby Reese and I fell in love! Baby Gap has so many sweet  baby clothes but I really couldn’t get over their onesies. I mean, how adorable are these!? I’m a onesie fan myself. Nowadays everyone’s putting their babys in these over the top outfits with the giant faux flower headbands and it's just too much. Whatever happened to the days of simple & soft onesies?! Good thing I don’t have a baby or I’d be baby-gap-broke. These are a few of my favorites. The "I Heart My Auntie" one will definitely be making it's way to baby Reese from her auntie lulu soon...

For George

Today I am thankful. Last night my mom volunteered at a shelter in downtown Atlanta. While she was there, she met a man named George. George is a 62 year old man who lost everything he had and is now homeless. After his wife died three years ago, he quit his job, sold his house, and took a chance on a business venture. That business venture failed and he lost it all. With no money, no family, and nowhere to go he is now homeless and living in an abandoned house in downtown Atlanta. With all of the struggles George faces each day, he said the worst part is that he is lonely. 

It’s amazing how easily we forget how lucky we are. For our family and friends, health, homes, jobs, and all of our blessing we so often take for granted. Last night, as the rain poured down I thought of George. This morning as I drank my coffee, I thought of George. Today when my mom said “I love you”, I thought of George. Thank you George for helping me to remember to always be thankful.

To help George and others in the Atlanta area visit SafeHouse Outreach. A smiling face and friendly conversation means more than you know.
