quenched

usually i bring my own water along with me. from my own gallon which sits within our frig. paying a buck for this unit, the equivalent of 6-8 bottles makes sense to me and saves not only on overpopulating more plastic bottles within our earth but also saves us about 7.00 each gallon. i cringe when i have to spend a buck plus on a single.bottle.of.water. but this day was different. i forgot my water so upon searching for some from a stations' freezer door right after my hike and well, any drinkable water would do, i came across this one. a percentage from sales helps children get c.l.e.a.n water to drink. one of the countries it benefits? africa! a good cause and hello!we are adopting from this very place. a good thing this company is trying to do. not often that big corps try to do something so simple as...water and because it deserves recognition, i am obviously posting the name.


and oh, by the way, we are now only about, um, one month out from filling out our APPLICATION!!! excited to get started? nah, what ever gave one that idea?

pak

so, i recently purchased this fanny pak. it took be awhile to find a good one: durable, all natural , etc. to use when i hike. this find went above and beyond my likes because it also is a non profit that donates 10% of the final sale price to support Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. no this is not a review. i am linking nothing. i was just very impressed to see such a great find for a low price that also does some good by being owned : ) .

rock on

and, it's adoption related...remember these!!



back in the 70's one could actually adopt a pet rock. my mom got me one and i thought it was the neatest thing...hey, i was around 9 at the time : ) . but even then, the idea of taking care of something and giving it a family (yes, a rock) was appealing to me. funny how some things just never change.

too cute

an adoption blogger shared this utube video; i couldn't pass up bringing the cuteness here as well...

from ethiopia with love
