3 Ways to Show Support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Chances are, if  you are reading this, then you most likely know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. More and more women are surviving this disease and more stories of hope are coming to the surface. If you have lost someone to breast cancer, then my heart goes out to you. I am sure October is a difficult month for you. If you are reading this as a survivor (like my mom!) then more power to you. I am sure this month is empowering for you, giving you a chance to encourage other women who are currently walking down this road.


Show Your Support

Whether you are a cancer survivor, know a survivor or simply want to show your support for the furtherance of breast cancer research there are several ways you can show your support this October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Wear Pink
Be bold. Whether it's a pink shirt, headband or dress, you can offer your support by simply stepping out in your pink garb. Show others that you indeed are aware of how many are affected by breast cancer and that you support the efforts to find or develop it's cure.

Display the Pink Ribbon
This past spring, a man ordered a metal, hand forged, decorative ribbon from my husband's blacksmithing business. He was planning to paint it pink and give to a woman he knew battling breast cancer. When she received the gift, they were so thankful and the husband was even brought to tears. Unless you've experienced it yourself, there really isn't a way to relate. But you still can show you care. The pink ribbon is a universal symbol of hope and compassion for everyone involved.
Support Cancer Research
The charms brand Glamulet was launched in 2014 to offer to every woman a new range of trendy and elegant quality jewelry at an affordable price. Half of all process go to charities that support breast cancer. If you want to help support breast cancer charities, then you can show your support by purchasing these affordable, glamorous charms.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

  Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude.

For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand!   (Simply right-click, save, and print)

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
