Serving up Style and lot's more!

Hello all from the first annual Serving up Style event here at the Portland Fall Home and Garden show. It has been a crazy month filled with a lot of work and stress, but it was all worth it because we have finally produced our first annual fundraiser for Molly's Fund.

It was almost three years ago when we first came up for the idea for Serving up Style, but then the economy tanked and we couldn't find sponsors to save our life. Thankfully, we were introduced to Terry O'Loughlin, who produces the Fall Home and Garden show here in Portland and he loved the idea of us being a part of their show.

For those of you who don't know, Serving up Style is a design event that features six of the top design teams in Portland, Oregon. They are competing against one another to create the most lavish, creative, and exciting dining room experience possible. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that it would be as gorgeous as it has turned out. These designers put their heart and soul into these displays and they look amazing.

We've also been really fortunate to be featured on most of the news stations here in town so that is really helping bring people into the show and to give us at Molly's Fund a chance to teach people more about Lupus.

I have to admit that standing on those concrete floors for hours on end is kind of killing my body, but I'm trying really hard to take breaks and pace myself throughout the day so that I don't get too sick by the time the weekend is over. It is worth it though each time a person stops to ask us what Molly's Fund is or if I could tell them a bit more about Lupus. It's not every day that I get to reach out to that many people at one time and feel like I'm doing something good and productive.

This weekend also is exciting because we are launching our new product, Molly's Med Minder. Molly's Med Minder is a personal health record that helps you keep track of all of your health information in one easy to grab binder. I had been carrying around this old raggedy three ring binder for years to all of my doctors appointments and it occurred to me that maybe other people might need to organize their health information too! We've been working on it for almost a year now and I am happy to say that you can purchase them this weekend at the Home and Garden show, but also on our website at: http://mollysfund.org/resources/store/.

That's all I have for the moment, but I really hope that some of you can make it out to the show and check out our Med Minder on our site, I think you'll really love it! I wish you all pain free days and healthy nights!!!
