I’m honored to have partnered with GoodBite and Quaker Oatmeal, along with several other bloggers to raise up to $25,000 for Share Our Strength.

Update: This project has concluded and was an amazing success! 1818 books sold, with a total of $47,166.00 (including the Canadian government’s matching donation) going to Haiti relief. Thanks everyone for your purchases!

You might see things here and there that aren’t quite ready, but I’m trying hard to get everything in place as quickly as possible!
