{Event} A Night to Honor Mothers

The 3rd Annual SHYM Mom's Day Cabaret was a beautiful night and a special way to celebrate being a Mom.  

The full posting on the event will come later but I wanted to wish all mothers everywhere a special Happy Mother's Day {especially all the mothers in my life}.

{Upcoming Event} Another Chance to Support SHYM

Since the beginning of Forty 4 Change, almost 18 months ago, I have shared the details of my experiences with so many amazing organizations.  One that still remains near and dear to my heart is Supportive Housing for Young Mothers {SHYM}.

Earlier in April, SHYM made an exciting announcement...that they would be forging a partnership with the YWCA Halifax in an effort to further increase the resources available to the SHYM programs.

I am thrilled that the Director of SHYM, Wendy Fraser, asked me to participate in their upcoming Mom's Day Cabaret again this year!

This year's dessert table will be styled in sweet yellow, grey and white...and a bit of chevron!  So excited to create this fun table for a wonderful event.  

Tickets can be purchased at 902.465.2213

or simply purchase them at the door.

I just returned from an amazing trip to North Carolina where we celebrated my Nana's 95th birthday!  Watch for details on her fabulous birthday brunch.

Remembering the Titanic

There is no question that the world has a fascination with the Titanic disaster of 1912.  Living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we are even more aware of the significance of today's 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the ship, officially April 15th, 1912.  

I thought it might be a good idea to draw a little attention to Halifax's role in the tragedy, so decided to solicit the help of my local baker, Nadine Boutilier.  On Friday, I delivered a Titanic replica to the kids' school!

Nadine created this edible masterpiece, weighing 30 pounds and measuring 3 ft long.  All 14 classrooms in the school received a slab to share, but only after the Headmaster had wheeled the cake to each class for viewing.  

It was a great way to mark an important date in our history.

Thanks Nadine {once again!} for your willingness to take on the challenge!
