Holiday Giving BirminghamMommy Style: November Highlight
Every month through December, BirminghamMommy.com will be highlighting one charitable organization that either benefits children or one in which you can participate with your children.
This month’s pick is Alex’s Lemonade Stand. This fun organization puts you right beside your children as you raise money to support childhood cancer research, “one cup at a time”.
Not only is this organization a wonderful opportunity to teach your child about giving back, it’s also an organization founded to directly impact the lives of children. We encourage you to visit their site and learn more about setting up your own stand, donating to the organization or finding a stand! Visit them @ www.alexslemonade.org

Sneaks! Alright now girls – a cute pair of casual sneakers are just as easy to put on as your gym shoes, but way (WAY) more stylish. So save the cross-trainers for the gym and slide into a pair of these instead. Go on – you know you want to.
Shown above is the Simple Satire Sneaker. We found them at Endless.com for $54.95
