Host a Sleep Pink Party!   Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month It seems that everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Breast Cancer is claiming the lives of our mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, nieces and in some cases our men! I lost my mom to Breast Cancer so when I received the news that Estroven, a safe multi-symptom menopause relief solution, wanted me to host a "Sleep Pink" party in support of breast cancer awareness I knew I just couldn't say no.

    October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. So grab those pumpkins and go get a mammogram.

I am so grateful for all the opportunities the Bluebird Patch have given to my family. We have been able to meet amazing people, connect with extraordinary organizations and visit places we have never been before.  Last week, we were invited by Medieval Times to enjoy a  four-course dinner and tournament at their Atlanta castle.  Their new show is full of    live jousting, sword fights, horsemanship and falconry.

As a person who lost a mother, and both grandparents to cancer, I am always moved when organizations like Medieval Times offer their support to breast cancer awareness.
