You all may know by now what a special place Alabama holds in the heart of Heather’s family. Both Bama Boy and their son were blessed to be born in Alabama and their family lived there for several years. They have many friends in the Tuscaloosa area that they could not reach for many days. It is hard to fully understand what has happened to our beloved Sweet Home Alabama…
We know it is difficult to fully comprehend the damage that was done

Because the pictures that always break our hearts the most are the ones of children. Children who don’t understand that their home is gone forever..or a friend, or a grandparent..or parent. Children have so many needs, and these needs can be difficult to meet in the middle of destruction such as was seen across Alabama.
Therefore several bloggers have joined forces under the direction of Callie of The Wannabe Athlete and her mom, our friend Dianne, of the Inspired Housewife to hold a
VIRTUAL BABY SHOWER FOR TUSCALOOSA
Callie’s sister lives in Tuscaloosa blocks away from neighborhoods that were destroyed. She has been volunteering at a local church that is aiding the community and is in desperate need for baby items. The type of items we take normally take for granted. Diapers. Formula. Basic Clothing.
And that is where you are dear friends At The Picket Fence can help. If you’ve been asking yourself, “What can I do? I live so far away. I can’t travel down there to offer assistance. I don’t know anyone to offer help to.” Here’s your chance! We want to invite you to participate in our Blogger Baby Shower. Here’s what we need you to do!
Visit the Baby Registry that has been set up on Amazon.com – we have registered for diapers, formula, onesies, etc. Just click on the link above, the image below or the name is registered as “Tuscaloosa Tornado”.
Dianne @ The Inspired Housewife
Meghann @ Meals and Miles
Carmella @ Creative Carmella
Beth @ Home Stories A 2 Z
Emily @ Daily Garnish
Catlin @ Healthy Tipping Point
Allison @ House of Hepworths
It would mean a lot to us if you would share the link(s) to any of the virtual baby showers on your own blogs, Facebook pages and on Twitter! Feel free to use the graphic above. We would love to see this spread to other blogs during the week so that others would have a chance to participate in this worthwhile cause! Thank you!
all our prayers to our Southern friends!
I’ve just ordered a packet of nappies, will check the twins pocket money and order something later from them. It’s hard enough raising children at the best of times, let alone with all of this to deal with.
This is an awesome idea! I ordered this morning and I am going to get Anna and Isaac involved to order this afternoon from them too. Thank you!!
What a great idea! I ordered a few things. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks gals for sharing this site, just placed an order!
God Bless, xoxo Debra
I just wrote a post directing people over here to the Baby Shower. Have a great day!!

What a super idea. I just ordered a couple of things.
What a great idea. I’ll head over there and see what I can do. Thanks for making me aware.
Have have posted a blurb on my blog with links, but I don’t know how to post my blog to your links.
Anyway, this is a wonderful idea!
