I so wish I could be planning one this year (we’ve held an event each year for the last four years) but i’m due with baby number 2 on Feb 11 so it just won’t work for me to plan something since I don’t know exactly when this baby is coming, but I am collecting donations for a local ronald mcdonald house in honor of CHD awareness and even though it’s not an “event” per say, it feels like i’m helping in one small way
