I'm doing 42 things
After my daughter was born, I hemorrhaged and lost a large amount of blood. It was the frightening thing I’ve ever been through; at times I thought I might die. If the doctors hadn’t been able to stop the bleeding when they did, I would have needed a transfusion. My blood type is somewhat rare, so I was lucky. I don’t want anyone to ever be in that situation and have no options. Now I want to give back and help someone else who may have the same experience someday.

I couldn't stop thinking about it, and a week later I called her and asked her what the business was like. I'm not a… Read how I did it…

How I did it: We started when our son was 7 months old, and at first it was discouraging, but we stuck with it. Then after a couple months, he started doing the signs for "milk" and "eat".

It made me
How I did it: I used to spend all day outside when I was younger. Then jobs & commitments got in the way. After I had my first child, I stopped going outside altogether. We were in a neighborhood where everyone let their dogs run loose all day, so I was nervous to be outside with my baby.Around the time my son learned to walk, we moved to a better area. One day I decided to take him outside and explore, and before I knew it,… Read how I did it…
