March of Dimes

What is your favorite charity? Mine is the March of Dimes. This review will be biased due to the fact that I have used their research to benefit my family, so I cannot be objective at all.

I had three pregnancies with one ending in a miscarriage. Both my pregnancies that ended with children, I had problems with preterm labor. I believe that due to research that they have done, I was able to carry both pregnancies to term even though I started with preterm labor quite early with both. Every woman who takes prenatal vitamins has benefited from their research too. Part of their research focuses on birth defects. Without them, we would not know that taking folic acid prevents birth defects. The other reason that this charity is near and dear to my heart is that my cousin Val’s two kids may not be here without their research. Both her children were born premature. They have an awesome forum on their site that other mothers can access. There are tons of questions and answers on there for you. It is an awesome community.

If you are ever looking for a charity to give to, I know I would appreciate a donation to the March of Dimes. I have to thank Navtej Kohli for sponsoring this review. You can visit his blog and read about his favorite charity.

About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am originally from Green Bay, WI (yes, I am a Packer fan) and now living in Illinois. I have 4 year old daughter and a newborn little boy who surprised us by being born 3 weeks early. (He’s 16 months now!)

Currently, I am a work at home mom who is involved in several side projects. In 2004 and 2005, I worked for a company creating websites. Unfortunately, that went away. However, we introduced our clients to blogging which is how I got into it. I started blogging in April 2006 just to keep in touch with my friends and family in Green Bay. In July 2006, I suffered a miscarriage, and I used my blog to get through that. I now talk about my life and blog for several companies. I still do freelance for a few companies. My other blogs are My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings, Lisa Cooking, and My Road Less Traveled By. I was also one of 15 bloggers to attend the Sony Mommy Bloggers Event in April of 2008 and one of 15 bloggers invited to the Pampers Mommy Bloggers Event.  I also recently went to the Epson/Sparkplugging Girls Night Out.
