Ginger Peachy & Simply Avonlea for The Sparrow Fund

5.24.11


There are a lot of things I just love, I’m realizing. That’s not a bad thing, right? I love when a 20 year old young woman has her own little business using the skills her grandmother taught her starting when she was 9 years old. I just love that.

Ginger Peachy Kids’ Lauren has 4 sisters – two biological ones and two from China. One of those sisters joined their family in 2009 and the other in spring 2010, the same time Lydia joined our family. Lauren shared with me the excitement she has about making her adorable little animals for children all over the country. 

She told me —
I just love it when I find out that one of my items is for a child who has just been adopted. My prayer is that it will bring comfort to them as they adjust into a new life with their Forever Family! I am so excited to be a part of this, and I pray that the Sparrow Fund will be a blessing to many families as they take the adoption adventure!

What a neat young woman who is already doing some amazing things…as is one of her sisters.



Jen is Lauren’s older sister and at 22 years old is a recent college graduate, part-time nanny to her two Chinese sisters, and part-time photographer. Her love for photography comes through when you look at the pieces she is selling in her Etsy store Simply Avonlea. Somehow, she is able to to freeze moments, record memories, and capture glimpses of the world God has given us in a way that is artistic and beautiful.

Jen told me —

My passion for orphans and adoption began when my family first jumped into the world of international adoption. Since then, it has been a blessing to see so many families – as well as my own – shaped by the miracle of adoption.

I am so thankful for Lauren and Jen and for the encouragement they are to me as a mother of both biological and an adopted child. Please visit their stores and encourage them in what they are doing. Consider purchasing something from them before the end of the month — 10% of total sales this month will be given to The Sparrow Fund to benefit adoptive families.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
