A year ago today, with the help of some amazing friends, old and new,\u00a0I held\u00a0a fundraiser, “Desserts for Disaster Relief<\/a><\/strong>.” We\u00a0raised money to assist local non-profit Awaken Arts<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with their relief efforts for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Awaken Arts<\/strong>, formerly known as “The 24 Foundation,” reached out to over 5,000 people on Bantayan Island with their Arts Healing Program, medical intake and instruction assistance, rebuild efforts, aid and entertainment for the children, and many other fantastic things I don’t have room to list. I’m happy Westside Mommy is\u00a0a partner <\/a>to<\/a>\u00a0Awaken Arts<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

After one year of blogging<\/a>, I learned how difficult<\/em>, exhilarating<\/em>, and rewarding<\/em> it is to be a parent and<\/span>\u00a0business owner.\u00a0\u00a0The moms<\/strong> I’ve met along this journey continue to inspire me with their creativity, hard work, and ambition. I appreciate their support, advice, and assistance, and am happy to call them friends. As Small Business Saturday<\/strong><\/a> approaches, I’d like to raise awareness and help support these friends.<\/p>\n
