We’ve been pretty MIA from the blog for a while. . . It’s
hard to give updates when all that’s going on is us trying to save! But the thermometer is slowly but steadily
going up, thanks in no small part to the generosity of family, friends, and
strangers that have heard our story. To all of you – You have no idea how much
it means to us. We’re over $8000 now! We’ve been brainstorming ideas on how we
can get that number to grow faster, but we haven’t had many ideas that are easy
for us to implement. We’re getting stuff together right now for a big yard sale
in a couple months, and I’m working on building up my crafts inventory to sell
at the yard sale and our fireworks booth (if we do it again this year). Other
ideas we’ve had are a benefit concert (there are a lot of musically talented
people on both sides of the family), a silent auction, and an online
fundraiser. We haven’t figured out a way to make any of those ideas happen yet.
If you know a way, or can think of anything else that could work, let us know!
P.S. We’re going to start putting some infertility-related
comics on here, because sometimes you just have to laugh! Forgive us if they’re
a little bit snide . . . .
Snide is good - you're allowed. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the thermometer creep up. We're not great at getting things off the ground, but we're pretty good at pitching in once things are rolling. Keep your spirits up - you'll get there and we'll all help!
That's kind of what we figured. :) I've got a file of snarky comics/memes I found on Pinterest . . .
ReplyDeleteWe're not great at getting things going either . . . but we're trying! It's really nice that we have the support from our families.
