We just made it through a wild weekend here in Vermont. We were in the path of Totality for the Solar Eclipse and one of the only regions expected to get any kind of clear skies. Therefore, tons and tons of people arrived up in Vermont to catch a peek at our disappearing sun. We hosted a fun party in our yard to view the eclipse and it felt like such a special way to celebrate, though maybe a little muddy as a full foot of snow had melted in the two days prior to the eclipse! I was totally floored by the excitement of the day. And the views were truly miraculous! We were able to read a bit about of eclipses from our home library ahead of the big event. Then we did a few experiments outside during the eclipse! What a day for us all!
Third Annual Book Drive for the Lamoille Family Center
One of the best things about my business is about how I am encouraged and supported to give back, and often in really big ways! Being generous brings so much joy to me as I serve my local community.
I’m so excited to announce my third annual book drive for the Lamoille Family Center! I'll be stocking up their book gifting closet with lots of books (I hope) to help enable all the caregivers they serve through their programming to be able to own & read high quality books to their little ones.
Will you consider sponsoring 1 or 2 out of the 300+?! Through PaperPie’s grant matching program, all donations will receive a 50% match! Making your donation go even further!!
If you’d like to shop and have your order benefit our drive, you can do that too!
