I wanted to share this story with you because I read about it over on one of my fave blog sites and well this is very important information to share! This story and details are all taken from Tiffany’s own story website and are not something I have personally adjusted in anyway.

First Annual Project Giving Back
I announced this late last night on Facebook and wanted to share on Happily Blended as well … Announcing the first annual Happily Blended’s Project Giving Back.
