The very first thing we bought for Jenny was a pair of
LuLaRoe leggings that match a Mommy & Me pair that Vivien and I already owned. I cried when I paid for them and I told the LLR consultant who they were for.
And this is why our next fundraiser is particularly dear to my heart.
Meet
KeRRi DailoR - Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend, MOPs leader and
LuLaRoe fashion consultant.

In February 2014, my husband Matthew and I had exactly three days' warning that our one-week old baby boy was coming home!
After a quick Target run with my best friend (who had given birth to her son literally 30 days earlier!) to get diapers, wipes, and a NoseFrida nasal aspirator (just in case) we were ready!
On Friday, the 28th of February, we loaded up an empty car seat, formula that we had no idea what to do with, tiny diapers and a 0-3 month outfit and set off!
After more than an hour of signing a tower of paperwork at the adoption agency, the door opened! In walked Noel's birth mom holding the tiniest 6lb bundle of baby in a blue and white crocheted blanket with two itty-bitty feet popping out the bottom!
Noel's birth dad was close behind and the two of them handed us our son to hold for the first time. And just like that we were parents!
The next 3.5 years would fly by quicker than we knew, and we were blessed to have an open relationship with Noel's birth parents. They are able to see him grow and thrive and play with trains and worship Lightening McQueen! They haven't missed a birthday party or museum visit yet! We are one big family.
We are so very thankful for the gift of adoption and what it has done for all of us. While having a very unique start and story, we actually feel very normal. Our normal.
I was more than ecstatic when Tara told me about Jenny and asked if I would be willing to participate in a fundraiser event. I assumed she asked because she knew our family has been so blessed by adoption too! Nope! She had no idea! She just loves LuLaRoe and thought it would be fun (and it will be!!) How awesome to see God working in this incredible story of bringing Jenny home. Time and time again He has stepped in and just proven to their family how this is all 100% meant to be! I'm excited to play a very small part in bringing another child home to their family!
So what's LuLaRoe? Besides being my latest obsession, it's awesome, adorable, quality clothing - they are famous for their buttery soft leggings, conservative styles, and unique prints. A portion of the proceeds from Kerri's sales during the week of Aug 22 thru Aug 28 will be donated to our Family Sponsorship Page (FSP) with Reece's Rainbow. THANK YOU, KERRI!
