Nie Nie
Please take a moment to read about this amazing Blogger Mama... Stepha'nie' Nielson is a local mom here in Arizona. Her blog "The NieNie Dialogues" beautifully shares little glimpses into her life ~~ passion for her 4 small children, good cooking, creative decorating, and fabulous red lipstick worn during dates with her sweet husband... She's absolutely INSPIRING in every sense of the word.
Unfortunately, sometimes very bad things happen to good people. On August 16th Stephanie and her husband Christian were in a private plane crash (along with their flight instructor, Doug Kinneard, who died soon after the crash from injuries). Stephanie has burns covering 80% of her body, Christian's burns cover about 1/3 of his.
Their children are being cared for by her sisters.
Although I've never met this family, I feel deeply compelled to help. Her family is expecting a recovery that will take months if not years. A website has been set up to raise money to benefit the family through their recovery.
In honor of The Nielson's we have decided to donate Gracie's pirate Halloween costume from last year, to the NieNie Benefit Sale. Stephanie's favorite month is October and her favorite holiday is Halloween, so we thought that it would be appropriate. Also Stephanie loves handmade goodies... she would love this costume!
Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. To find out other ways to help as well as updates on the family, please visit her sister Courtney's blog.
