Mamie's Garden

Saturday was such a beautiful day. Taylor and I decided to head out to the nursery after we had breakfast on the deck. Our plan was to go pick out a few dogwood trees for the garden. While we were there we started looking at water features. Since we began this project I have alway wanted some kind of contained water feature in the garden. We ended up working with the guys there and came up with a beautiful one. I was so excited to get home and put it together. It was definitely a fun project for Taylor and I to do together. The sound the fountain is so peaceful. I took a few pictures with my phone to share with you guys. The whole time we were out in the garden we felt Mamie was with us. The huge wind chime that was given to us was blowing in the wind. We also saw a few butterflies and a ladybug. It was a good day!

Also I wanted to show you the sign a good friend gave me for the garden. Thank you so much Ashley. What a special gift for us to remember Mamie.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! -Sarah

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...

VBS

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast.  I did as well :)  I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting.  There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :)  It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light.  We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it.  She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling.  I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
