Many First Responders at the Member’s Recognition Party insisted on giving us tips for working bar, and Laura Mercier had the great idea to use the funds to buy Stephanie a gift as thanks for organizing the party and the Spring Family BBQ. I asked for ideas on how to spend the funds and got great feedback, but then wondered if we could make the money work *double time* – supporting the efforts of our entrepreneurial members. Through donations and discounts, we were able to put together this lovely basket of goodies for our new mom / party planner, and I just wanted to shout out to these home businesses:
- Roisin Thomas contributed specially-designed onesies through Raw Sheen Designs
- Courtney Bellanger contributed handmade essential oil blends and sprays through Lace and Charcoal
- Courtney Pytyck contributed “It’s a Boy!” cupcakes through The Sweet Artisan
- Shelley Montemurro’s girls contributed handmade scrunchies to keep spit up out of a new mom’s hair through Scrunchie Sisters
- Brooke Pangrass contributed a manicure gift certificate through Brooke Pangrass Esthetics
- Lily and Maggie Maxwell-Mckinley contributed gingersnaps through Bea’s Baking
- Joanne Nozack contributed hand knit baby bonnets through Knottylove
