A YEAR AGO THIS WEEKEND...

3/22/2015

Hard to believe it's been a year this weekend since BOWS & BALLCAPS was featured on NBC Nightly News. I can't believe all that's happened since then. We have now grown to support four partner hospitals and send care packages to kids around the country. A huge thank you to all of you that have helped keep this going and growing through all of your donations and support!! I can't wait to see what this year brings. I love you all!!

ANOTHER HOSPITAL VISIT!!

3/19/2015

Always wonderful to make a visit to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and see our friends there. We delivered another huge selection of bows today. And they also had a special request for ballcaps for teens, so we put together a special package of hats for them. Another great Spring Break day!!! Such grateful people. Thanks for an awesome visit!

A VISIT TO WHITTEN ELEMENTARY

3/18/2015

I was so excited to visit at Whitten Elementary this afternoon and speak to the Boys & Girls Club. I loved being able to talk about BOWS & BALLCAPS and all that we are doing. I'm pretty sure they were very excited to know that I knew what 9+10=. Thank you to everyone that was there (you know who you are), and especially thank you to Mrs. Watkins for inviting me. I can't wait to someday see you all again.

A NEW HOSPITAL... CINCINNATI CHILDREN'S

3/15/2015

Last week was such as exciting week!! We went to Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio to deliver our first bows and ballcaps to them. It was so much fun, and we personally met with and had a tour from one of the donation coordinators at the hospital. She was so nice and so grateful for everything, and I can't wait to go back. We've already received a message from one of the nurses at the hospital saying how much they already LOVE the bows. Hearing this makes me so happy. While we were in Cincinnati, we also got to meet little Tillery!! A childhood friend of my mom's sent us a message about her. She and her mom are staying at the Ronald McDonald House there. We put together a special care package for her because we heard she LOVES Minnie Mouse. Whenever she opened the carepackage she was so happy and was so thrilled... you could see it through the expression on her face. I just hope every kid that gets a care package feels the exact way that Tillery felt. I also saw this quote on the wall at the Ronald McDonald House wall. It was written by a little 7-year-old girl that says "I'm pretty even with no hair because I'm beautiful inside out." I just love this, and this is what all people without hair need to realize. They are beautiful inside out, no matter what!!

A NEW SMILE:)

3/9/2015

Yay!!! Today I got my braces off. I am so glad. "No worries," the dentist said. "You only have to wear your retainer every night for the rest of your life. No biggie." But I guess that's ok, as long I never have to get braces ever again. So, I now will have perfect teeth for the hospital visit tomorrow. Speaking of which... I can't wait!! I will keep you updated on our travels. And look at my teeth!!

SPRING BREAK IS HERE!!

3/8/2015

Spring Break is here!! And we have already started on lots of BOWS & BALLCAPS projects. We spent much of the weekend tagging bows and ballcaps for our partner hospitals. We have a big box ready to ship to East Tennessee Children's Hospital, and we will be making a delivery to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital later in the week. I'm also super excited to announce that we will be heading to Ohio in a few days to adopt our 4th hospital... Cincinnati Children's Hospital!! I've never been to Ohio before, so I'm super excited about this visit. I hope all of these kids love their new bows and ballcaps. I'll be posting throughout the week about all of our fun activities. Have an awesome week everyone!
Love,

MY AWESOME DAD!

Look at this great picture of me and my awesome dad cooking pancakes yesterday. Thank you Mr. Claussen from Trap the Light Photography for making such a great picture of us!!

PANCAKES ANYONE??

3/7/2015

Today, I volunteered to help out at the Hendersonville Rotary Club's annual pancake breakfast. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to help out again next year. I helped in the kitchen by mixing batter and serving pancakes, but the most fun part of all is that I got to spend the day with my dad. He means so much to me, and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to spend the day with all of my friends and family. So to all of my Rotary friends... THANKS for an amazing day!!!
LOVE,
