day without shoes and 147

Great, great day on Tuesday.  Had several opportunities to talk to my kids about the millions of children that live daily without shoes when felt the stares as we walked through the grocery store in our barefeet. Excellent exercise, I highly recommend it sometime. :)

We went on a local TOMS walk, then hurried home to get ready for the 147 event here.






The event was SO much fun and CRAZY.  Crazy because so many of you came to support 147 Million (in your bare feet) and Dube Bute.  I was so full as there was never a break the entire time.  You just kept coming in and buying the awesome new items from the 147 million orphans Spring line. :)

Thank you!!!! Thank you to those that purchased at home too.  $1,000 will be going to bring Hope to Dube Bute.  How amazing is that?
Only pic of that part, did I mention it was a bit nutty?? Heather, it was great seeing you!! :)

3 of my favorite things


While I am no Oprah, and will not be giving you free swag today (not entirely true, read on), I am excited to be able to combine three of my very favorite things today.  You can help too, here is how.

1. Go barefoot today.  Don't wear shoes to raise awareness for the million of children that go without shoes daily and risk serious infection or disease!  Really, who doesn't like to go barefoot anyways. Buy a pair of TOMS, ONE FOR ONE.  You get a great pair of shoes and so does a child in need. WIN WIN.

2.  Come by here to see the new 147 Spring line and shop, shop, shop.  I have samples and ordering will take place online.  If you order over $50, you will get a FREE multi-colored Uganda bead necklace.  Ok, so kinda like Oprah there.  If you can't join me in person, just go online to 
147millionorphans.com and shop, shop, shop.  If you live in Texas, all orders will AUTOMATICALLY go towards DUBE BUTE!!  Bringing Hope to the village Eyasu spent the first 23 months of his life.

3. If you live out of state, leave a comment in the special instructions portion of your online order that you want the order to benefit the ALEXANDER FAMILY and you too will support Dube Bute.  How great is that?? You get some great gear that will help to raise orphan care awareness and the people of Dube Bute get much needed help as well.  WIN WIN.  

Have a great day!

new tumbler and some exciting news to come........



Been an absent blogger, good reason though.  I promise.  Stay tuned for some really amazing news!!! Hope is coming to Dube Bute people- what a privilege to watch the Lord provide for them.

In the meantime- head over to my girls at 147 Million Orphans to purchase a new tumbler and provide HOPE to Dube Bute.  They are amazing!!  Great Christmas gifts for sure. :)
