As a Repurposed Mom it has always been my goal to make sure my kids know that they are my purpose in life. The good times, the hard times, the sad times, the learning times, and the memorable times are all times that are important. A couple years ago my husband and I started a at home business repurposing items. We decided to name it after our kids...Macmaddies.
The whole idea of this business was to be able to spend more time with our children. Although we are not there yet we have done a lot of praying, wishing, and hoping to expand the business to make our dream come true... maybe one day. From furniture to candles it has been so much fun creating. I am saying all of this because the situation our world is in has saddened me greatly. I am a mom trying to keep my kids safe and I know that innocence is something that will not last forever...it has been broken a little in our home. This week any Freedom candle that is purchased a dollar will be donated to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. On top of that any other purchase 10% will also be donated. Lets light a candle and remember each officer that is in the line of duty to protect us each and every day.

This is very sweet of you. It is sad what is going on in the world around us. I too have an etsy shop of things I enjoy making. It doesn't provide for our home, but it gives a little extra cash here and there. My son says it's the money for Mommy to buy him video games. He's probably right. Haha. I love the red, white and blue candle. Such a neat idea!

The tragedies happening lately have definitely left many with heavy hearts. Social media has the evidence of this on display for all to read, comment, retweet, and so on. Out of all of the people I see expressing their opinion and commenting on others, a very small percentage of those people are actually getting up and out to make a difference. Sitting behind a computer or iPhone and debating all day about events is not going to change a thing. Which lead me to the point I am making: it is very refreshing to see someone who recognizes a social issue and is taking action to offer help. Thank you.
