It was 9 degrees outside today. That made it the perfect time to bring warmth to those who need it the most. We made sensory stress relief squishies so kids who are at doctors offices today could feel loved and have something to help with their stress. We also brought warm Love Your Melon X Creatures Against Cancer hats and Nothing Bundt cakes to doctors who got up in the cold to go out and help others today ❤️. If you know someone going through cancer who can use some extra love and support send a message to lisa@creaturesagainstcancer.org

Have a Blessed and Beautiful day!

This is for a mom who just underwent a double mastectomy. They didn't get all of the cancer and is scheduled for her second surgery followed by chemo in the weeks to come. She's a young mom of two beautiful and lively girls. The neck and mastectomy pillows are for the mom to help her with comfort. There is also a Superhero cape and custom breast cancer tutu for her. The two additional capes are for her daughters as they wanted something to wear to show their support for their mom as caped princess warriors. We hope these bring comfort and love to this family as they go through this.

We had a wonderful day building and helping at Santa's workshop. We set up magical scenes and helped kids have an amazing time with Santa, a real reindeer, a hot cocoa booth and games. The highlight was seeing all the tutus we personally made being bought and 100% of the proceeds going to Children's Hospital. Kids loved dancing around and having a wonderful time in them. Elsa herself loved them and bought one for herself. There is no better way to spend the holidays than bringing love and joy to those who need it. We enjoy seeing the true meaning of the holidays around us as it is always filled with love and beauty.
