Love - Pass it On

One of our daughter's favorite books is "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. Every night, we have to read, or at least sing the song from, Love You Forever. She'll grab my hand and say, "Forever, Mommy, forever?"

And I'll pull her into my lap and read the book and sing the song the mommy sings to her son...

"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
My baby you'll be."

The mommy sings this song everynight to her son...
...when he's a cute little baby,
an active two year old who flushed her watch down the toilet,
a messy 9 year old,
a teenager with strange friends, clothes and music,
and a grown man who moves away to his own home.
It ends with the boy, now a grown man, singing I'll Love You Forever to his own little baby girl.

While it is just a simple little children's book, I love the message it carries.

Tell your child daily (hourly!) that you love them. Whether they are obediant or disobediant, having a good day or bad day, make you smile or make you cry.

Our children face many struggles and challenges in this world. They can be plagued with doubts and fears...don't let them question your love for them.

Children are a gift from the LORD;

they are a reward from him. Psalms 127:3

Whew, what a busy few weeks. Touched Twice event went superbly with hundreds of people being helped and lots of moms checking out cloth diapering.
There are a few things in the works:
-giving cloth info to The Crossing Pregnancy Center (I will be available demonstrate cloth diapers to interested moms/-to-be)
-co-ordinating with the Health Department to do a demo
-adding pictures and even 'slide-shows' to the various pages to give a better understanding of the diapers available for display.

As always, feel free to contact me! I'd love to answer any questions you may have!

Cloth Diaper Demo at Touched Twice - Free Clinic Manitowoc

Little Red Parkas will make it's cloth diaper demo debut Sat. Aug 14th at Faith Church on the south side of Manitowoc (map). Past Touched Twice events have seen 600+ people come through the doors to receive free medical screening, eye exams, haircuts, family portraits, groceries and even counseling in various life matters.
Cloth Diapering will be demonstrated near the Child Care Area... which I believe is in the sanctuary.
These are NOT your grandma's diapers...modern cloth diapering has come a long way and I will be there to show you the way! (Hey, I warned you about my personality quirks.) Are you interested in saving up to $800 a year, per child? I'll see you there!

Welcome

Little Red Parkas exsists to offer resources, guidance and support to mothers of young children as based on the Virtuous Woman in Proverbs 31:10-31.
