Estimated Delivery

I received an email from Morris Cookbooks regarding Ashley's cookbook, looks like the estimated delivery date for the cookbook is on or before July 7. This has taken a lot longer than I expected but we did run into some issues with the graphics. The cover of the cookbook had to be redone in-house. Which means the graphic department at Morris Cookbooks had to completely redo the cover, which also means that there was a price increase in the production of the cookbooks. Not only did the cover had to be redesigned but one of the tabbed index pages was missing in my original digital images that I sent the team at Morris Press. None of the issues surrounding the cookbook have been Morris' fault, it's been mine or my original graphic designer. Despite all the setbacks in getting this cookbook published, I am positive it will be a beautiful cookbook.

My mom and I have been actively selling the cookbooks so that we can pay off the cost of publishing them; the cost is around $1400. After we make enough to pay off the cost to publish them, the rest of the money made will go directly towards Ashley's medical care and future transplant. If you haven't ordered a cookbook, please do so now. We have lowered the cost of the cookbooks so we can sale more cookbooks. Right now, the cookbooks are $10.95 but after they arrive in July the price will more than likely go back to the original price of $12.00. If you look to the right of this blog there are links on the two different ways you can purchase your cookbook. Please take advantage of the lower price and order your cookbook today. Remember your purchase will help save Ashley's life.

We need to sell about 10 more cookbooks (oops, I mean 50 more cookbooks) to meet our goal of paying off the production costs. Please help us met our goal and order now.

ALF vs COTA - Loosing Sleep

What would keep a person up past 3:30 am? Decisions... As most of you know we have been using ALF (American Liver Foundation) for Ashley's Liver Transplant Fund. However, in the past year, we have found that ALF is not offering us what we need among a few other reasons which I will not blog about. When we opened Ashley's account with ALF we did so quickly after the death of my dad during Christmas 2006 and New Year 2007, we did not have time to research the best fundraising organizations. There are so many organizations out there from ALF , COTA , NTAF . But because of my dad's untimely death and because his dying wish was that friends, family, etc. donate to Ashley to help defray our medical costs, the first organization that came to mind was the American Liver Foundation. After all, Ashley does have a liver disease. Now, both my husband and I are wondering if we should have used COTA. We have also thought and inquired about opening up a local trust fund for Ashley. Howeve...

Living through Dance

In just about six weeks Ashley will dance, not just any dance; she will be competing in a big regional dance competition by dancing her very first solo.  It's completely amazing, seeing Ashley dance, watching her live through dance.  When Ashley was born almost 11 1/2 years ago, I never ever thought, we never thought Ashley would live to dance much else do her first solo.  I can't believe I am crying as I type this.  I didn't think I would get emotional.  It's just amazing!  When I put her in dance at age 3, I did it because I knew I needed to stop sheltering her.  She needed to be around other children.  She needed to feel normal despite what is trying to zap the life out of her; despite her disease.  Honestly I never thought Ashley would be a good dancer or even a great dancer, I just knew dancing was safe; it was the one activity the doctors felt didn't put Ashley's life at risk.  Little did I know how much dancing did and still d...

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe som...
