got old dvds?

That's Ruth. She's from Georgia. For her fourth birthday, she collected dvd's to send to Kid Flicks- an organization that provides movies to children's hospitals. Wanna help?

Kid Flicks was started by two girls here in Southern California who were cleaning and realized that they had a lot of movies they'd outgrown. Instead of just throwing them away, they remembered a friend who had leukemia and watched movies to help pass time in the hospital. So they gave their outgrown movies to the local children's hospital that treated their friend.

It didn't stop there, and they've been collecting dvd's ever since! Everytime they collect 100 dvd's, they send it to a different children's hospital. And you can be part of it! Check out http://www.kidflicks.org/ for information on making the movies you don't watch brighten the day for a sick kid.

Think about it.... you remember watching your favorite Disney cartoon when you were home sick. It was comforting. Imagine feeling really bad from side effects of a tumor or chemotherapy. You're in a hospital- a far cry from your own comfortable bed with your own sheets and pillow.... It might help if you could just watch, say "The Little Mermaid" or your favorite Spongebob episode.

This is great for you guys with kids as your kids grow up and quit watching the movies they used to love. Or maybe you're moving and need to lighten your load. http://www.kidflicks.org/ Happy stuff. :)

Clover Watch 2008!


Day nine was on Monday, and look how they've grown! On the far left you can see a little one that's creeping up the side. There's also one hidden from view that is growing kind of sideways. So far, none of my clovers have died- thus an accomplishment so far. :)

I'm going to see Wicked in three days!!!!!
