Today is my birthday. December 10 — Wahoo! I LOVE this day, because I get to eat Publix cake — yellow cake with vanilla frosting.

I’ve decided to steal an idea from Kimberly Wong and Birdie Meyer (thanks ladies!) and ask anyone who is interested to please donate to Postpartum Support International today (or tomorrow, if you can’t get to it)in honor of Postpartum Progress.

Here’s where to go to donate: http://postpartum.net/donate/. Any amount will help. Thank you.

Also, for those of you who haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet, if you buy through the website iGive.com, a percentage of the purchase will be donated to the charity of our choice, which in this case would hopefully be Postpartum Support International. Igive partners with such companies as Amazon.com, Babies R Us, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, eBay, Eddie Bauer, FAO Schwartz, The Gap, LL Bean, Lego, Macy’s, Netflix, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Pottery Barn, Radio Shack, Sephora, Toys R Us, Verizon Wireless, Williams-Sonoma and hundreds of other retailers. I actually think I may do all my online shopping through iGive now. Why not? (Thanks to Sara Isner for pointing this out.)
