A favor
So I have this favor to ask of ya’ll…
Here’s the deal. My good friend (and cousin), Linlee, aka Little Miss Sassy and her hubby are wonderful, compassionate, intelligent people. They have an amazing marriage. They are best friends who respect and support each other. If you’ve been reading this blog for a few months, you’d know that they are the fun, beautiful couple we love to hang out with. (Did you click on this link yet? Because you should. Hello! Both of them! Total hotties!)
If you read her blog, you’d know that they’ve been battling infertility issues for quite some time. It has been a heartbreaking experience thus far. Their first attempt at IVF was halted midway due to some complications. But next month they plan to try again.
If you’ve gone through IVF or know someone who has, you know that it is very expensive and emotionally exhausting. And there are shots Linlee has to take! With big needles! They have had to sacrifice quite a bit to get to the point they were at this past August. So when things didn’t work out, there were alot of tears shed — by not only them but by many people who’ve been hoping, wishing, and praying for them.
A few months back when I placed ads on my site, I told ya’ll the proceeds would help offset adoption expenses (should we decide to adopt) and fund ALS research. As of a few weeks ago, I decided that the funds would be split equally between the ALS-related cause and helping my cousin offset some of her IVF expenses.
Although Marc and I would like to expand our family, we feel pretty lucky. We already have a child. And we KNOW Linlee and Brinnon would be fabulous, involved, patient, loving parents. So right now we are sending all of our prayers, hopes, wishes their way.
So my favor is this: please click on the ads you see on this site. And please remember to click on them in the future. Every click brings Linlee and Brinnon one step closer to living their dream — a dream so many people take for granted. And don’t forget every click also helps generate revenue to fund ALS research.

This is awesome. I’ll be clicking. I’ve been reading her blog (in fact, her post right after the IVF treatments had to stop was the first one I read) for a few weeks and have been trying to figure out a way to help. This is perfect!

I’ll be sure to click every time I come by. For sure. Now, I’m off to check out her site.

oh, i just want to ask a question to make sure my clicks count…do I have to click twice (one on the link on your blog and then again on one of the Google ads listed or do I just need to click on the ad link on your blog…just want to make sure they get counted!)

My husband and I plan to start our family within the next year or 2, and I can’t imagine what I’d do if we had trouble conceiving… that would just be so hard to deal with. I wish your cousin the best of luck!

I am clicking… like a madwoman!
(a madwoman who wants to remind everyone that adoption is a wonderful option and is happy to talk about it all damn day when people are ready to have that conversation… i know infertility is soul destroying and i just like to pop in like the adoption fairy and remind folks that there are many ways to grow your family)
ok, off soapbox and now will click.

Poor Cus…
My sister is about to try her third IVF. It breaks my heart every time I talk to her. Dave looked at me and I became pregnant four times over…. Would that I could pass that vibe on.
I will click click away for a good cause.
Kisses

I’ve been clicking away!

Ditto on the clicks. My sister-in-law has been trying to have kids for a few years and we’ve conceived and had two of our own during that time. Infertility is a great cause!

I woke her up and for a while we just got lost together. I love her so much. I bet “Honbun” feels the same way about you!
Thank you for all of the wonderful words!
Also…I clicked!!!!
