Disclosure: I am a member of the Pampers Baby Board. All opinions stated are my own.
I have been blessed to be a member of the Pampers Baby Board for many years now, and even though my little ones have outgrown the diaper stage, I love that they still value me and work with me. My favorite thing about my partnership with Pampers is that they allow me to do fabulous things for my community, you know those things you always dream about doing, but don’t have the financial means to do.
Recently, Pampers launched their #BetterforBaby campaign, with the following video:
I still tear up every time I watch this video. The concept of #BetterforBaby is simple, take the way that being around a baby makes you feel and spread it around.
Pampers offered their Baby Board members a grant to make life #BetterforBaby in their communities. Since, Bridgette from Experimental Mommy and I are both in New Orleans, we decided to combine our grants to make an even bigger impact.
Bridgette and I were thrilled to support local charity Drew’s Tunes!
Here is Drew’s Story:
On November, 27, 2012 we were blessed with the birth of Drew Joseph Boswell, 7 pounds, 11 ounces of beautiful. We were so happy to bring our sweet boy home. We had the staff escorting us, dancing all the way to the car. From the first day on, Drew made every day fun; with a perpetual sweet, happy demeanor.
During the 15 months of Drew’s life, he ate and ate, he danced and danced, he gave hugs, but above all he loved music! Drew’s passion for music grew and he was constantly “playing” an array of instruments including kazoos, bongos and his favorite little red piano.
March 11, 2014 was a typical day in the Boswell house. We picked him up from school, and he ran to us with that million dollar smile. That evening revolved around dinner, bath time, and most importantly happily playing! Drew was so happy that evening that we did not get him to bed until nearly 9 pm. By then he was exhausted, so we laid him down; he looked up at us and gave us a huge smile. We gave him one more kiss and shut the door.
The following morning, March 12, we went to wake our little man, and he had passed away in his sleep. In that instant the world as we knew it was gone. The preliminary results revealed no cause for Drew’s passing. There were many unanswered questions that day.
As we seek to find answers to some of those questions, Drew’s Tunes has made it our mission to honor the blessing we had in our lives for 15 blissful months by striving to bring joyous smiles to other children.
With our combined grants, Bridgette and I were able to sponsor this year’s Drew’s Tunes Bowl-A-Thon, provide Drew’s Tunes with much needed computer equipment and software.
And, purchase plenty of musical instruments that will be donated to local pre-schools and daycare facilities.
It is such an overwhelming feeling to be able to do such fantastic things for the children in our community! I want to give a big THANKS to Pampers for giving me this opportunity! What will you do to make life Better for Baby?
