It's Friday night, and you know what that means..
It is time to Dare to Share!
We are in Michigan again celebrating a friend's birthday at the dance. Tonight we celebrated the birthday of our friend Marilyn. It's also the birthday of another friend, but he was not able to come to dance tonight. We will hopefully celebrate with him at the next dance.
Hopefully those who celebrated Mother's Day had a good weekend. Last week I mentioned I was making a project with my grand baby for her mom. She loves to color but since she is not quite 2, she is still in the scribbling stage. I had her color printed flowers, and then I cut them out for her. I helped her add them to the bouquet with glue dots on the back of each flower. Her mom loved receiving flowers that she can keep for years to come. I will be adding a flower bouquet kit to my Etsy Shop at some point in the near future.
I also mentioned at last week's Dare to Share party that I would be sharing more about the Day Without Childcare. On May 11th, day care workers and parents participated in the 5th annual event. People around the country went to their state's capital to request affordable and equitable child care for all. If you have ever worked in or taken your kids to daycare, you know how important and sometimes difficult it is to find good and affordable care. Child care workers do a very important job, for not a lot of pay. Many people are not able to stay in the field and afford to pay their bills. A lot of centers have to close, because they can not afford to stay open. A lot of parents can not work, because they can not afford to put their children in child care. I do feel blessed that I work at a good center in a job that I really enjoy. I am now in a position where I do not have to pay a lot of big bills. I know that is not true of everyone though, and hope to see a positive change in the future.
I just looked that the time and realized it is getting really late. I better get this party started! Link up and HAVE FUN!




Thanks so much for hosting us all, Pam! And thanks for your service in such an important field of work!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Good, safe, and affordable chldcare is so important for working mothers. Not everyone has extended families to help care for a child and these days dual income is very necessary.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and thanks for this party, Pam. Enjoy your day and weekend.
