The Motherhood is honored to be working with the United Nations Foundation for the second year in a row in support of Shot@Life, a movement dedicated to protecting children worldwide by providing vaccines for kids who need them most.
Today is the kick-off for Blogust, a month-long blog relay with 31 incredible bloggers, each writing one post about a milestone in a child’s life. Today on August 1, Rebecca Woolf wrote a gorgeous post about memories starting at age 1, and tomorrow Casey Mullens will write about milestones for two years olds, and then each day of the month, the Blogust bloggers will write about milestones for kids by age – on August 3, a three year old, on August 4, a four year old, up to a ‘kid’ age 31 on the last day of the month.
Most importantly, for every comment on all 31 blog posts, Walgreens will donate a vaccine to a child in need. Incredible, right? Our goal is 50,000 vaccines.
Please visit the Blogust blogs every day and comment! Sign up here to receive a reminder email each day in August so you can add your voice and contribute a vaccine every day of Blogust. Or, be sure to visit Blogust or check back here to see the list of the blog posts for a quick and easy way to view and comment.
