Have you been enjoying these last days of summer with an eleventh-hour vacation, or are you checking your list of back to school items you need by Tuesday? Whether you are soaking in the last rays of summer sun or soaking in sweat from running around in the summer sun - His Middle Name wants to give you a reason to stay indoors and indulge! As you start to pull out those bins full of scarves and cardigans, I encourage you to take stock of what you have for fall (and don't have for that matter). That faded sweater you've had for six years? I'm pretty sure it's seen better days. Yep, what I'm trying to say is that it's time to go shopping! The kids need back to school clothes anyway, so now's the time to take advantage of some great deals! Macy's is also giving you another reason to shop: it's a chance to give back to an organization that has saved so many lives.
In support of the March of Dimes, Macy's is offering one of the best deals of the year this Saturday, August, 23rd with their one day event "Shop For A Cause." All you have to do is purchase a $5 savings pass at ANY Macy's register in ANY Macy's department, and you'll receive 25% off on ALL regular, sale and clearance merchandise ... including designer brands! Oh, and your savings pass is even good throughout the rest of the store as well! Just flash your savings pass and you will earn 10% off electronics, furniture, mattresses and area rugs. You can shamelessly slide your credit card knowing that 100% of every savings pass purchased goes to support research and programs that help babies start healthy lives and women have healthy pregnancies. Believe me, this year's "Shop For A Cause" savings pass is worth more than gold. How do I know? Because Team His Middle Name was there to kick off the event at our local Macy's!!!

This photo was taken this past Tuesday at our local Macy's, as Team His Middle Name was featured as the local ambassador for the March of Dimes. Our local March of Dimes representative, the wonderful Miss A., welcomed us to the store and readied us for our first employee rally of two we would participate in. I had no idea what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect the reception we received! Each and every Macy's employee was thrilled to meet Sutton and hear our story, and we as a family were so touched to be welcomed by so many that were excited for this year's event. Brad and I were truly humbled as we shared our experience as preemie parents and our desire to help through the March of Dimes, and Sutton was so excited that he got to be the very first person of the day to ride the escalator (ha!).
As we left Macy's after the employee rally, I had a quiet moment to reflect on how in the world we ended up being apart of something so much bigger than us. Who would have guessed that when I gave birth to my tiny two pound son that I would be where I am today? I actually shared that sentiment with the employees - how being a preemie parent thrusts you into a position of advocacy - even if for your child alone. To that I received many head nods and understanding glances, but nothing more powerful than what the Macy's store manager Miss C. said to me. She said, "That's why "Shop For A Cause" is so important. It gives you a chance to be a parent to your son and gives us a chance to do what we do best so that others can have the same." If that's not a great reason to shop Saturday, then I don't know what is.
