New Girl of the Year Poll in Sidebar!

Sorry we haven't been on here talking ceaselessly about Saige, 

the new American Girl of the Year!

We have wanted to -- But we haven't had the time yet!

*Weeps*

Anyways, for now -- until we get more time for thought-filled posting -- we added a new poll on the sidebar where you can vote for your favorite GOTY 2013 item.

Look over there ---------->

And vote today!

You can choose multiple answers. :-)

So far we ordered the Painting Set, the Sparkle Dress, and the PJs.

Those reviews will appear here after they get shipped to us.

(So far that shipment is pretty darn slow.)

To pick out the doll in person, we plan on going to the AGP DC soon.

Hopefully on the weekend of the 12th/13th.

We went to Chicago in 2012 to pick out McKenna, so now we are spoiled and want to go to an AGP for every GOTY. Haha. ;-)

Adopt A Cop Program for Sandy Hook/Newton

We don't often talk about real-world matters here at The DW, but we wanted to share info about this Adopt A Cop Program that Penny's sister designed the flyer for. 

This is a great way to get resources to the first responders who are now in need 

after the Newtown tragedy. 

Read more about the program here:http://www.mothersembraceyoga.com/SANDYHOOKOFFICERSDONATION.html

From Penny's sister:

"The officers who responded to the call and who processed the scene have undergone a great trauma. Some have not been able to return to work and they are using up their sick time and vacation days. A lawyer for the police department said that by the third week in January, these officers will run out of time to take off. (You can read the CT Post story here.)

A movement is afoot to change legislation so that the trauma experienced by these officers — and other state employees such as teachers and medical examiners — will be covered by workers’ compensation. But the General Assembly doesn’t convene until Jan. 9. And even if/when these cases are covered, it means that these officers will retain their medical benefits but will only receive a percentage of their pay. (You can read The Hartford Courant story here.)"

The Program has reached the Yahoo News Feed: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/newtown-adopt-cop-campaign-sandy-hook-yoga-212025975.html
