Because I'm A Girl Party

You may recall that last summer I won a House Party from Budweiser. This year I applied to win a charity party. A charity party, you say? It is not like a pity party. The charity is Plan USA, and it is to promote the "Because I'm A Girl" project, which is focused on raising the socioeconomic standing of women and girls around the world. I recommend that you check out their blog.

So I won the party, and they sent me a bunch of goodies to hep me raise awareness for the charity. One of the things that I got in my party pack was a "virtual gift" catalog.  The catalog has different donation amounts and for each dollar amount it tells you what the money can do for a girl, or a village. You can check it out on their website here.

I normally don't talk about things like starving children, homeless children, or abused women, so when I tell you that you should check this site out and see how you can help, I mean it. Here is the link if you want to see how you can become a fundraiser too.

Now I couldn't have a party and NOT have beer, and since it happens to also be Cinco De Mayo, I will be serving some high quality Mexican cerveza, and some tasty margaritas.

Ready to party yet?! I know I am! Happy Cinco De Mayo, and please Cinco De Mayo responsibly!

Update on Moi

I realize I have been MIA for a few days... I have been busy, and have a final exam this week... Well this is what I have been up to.

We went up to Madison, WI to go to Midwest Horse Fair, and had a great time. Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than I wanted, so I didn't get to go to my favorite place for dinner in Madison, The Great Dane.

I have been trying to get my daughter over her fear of horses.

I have tasted several tasty beers, such as Full Circle by New Holland

Finally got to try the Christmas Ale from Bell's Brewing that I got for Christmas

And I even lucked out and my friends gave me some of there home-brew.

Then there is this, I helped my mom set up her own page and Etsy Store. You should check out her jewelry, it is pretty amazing. She also does custom pieces

The good news is, I only have two weeks of class left, and then I have the summer off from school. With only work, and a two year old to slow me down, I will be unstoppable (or so I tell myself)
