For the Love of Robynn ~

Wow. Did Robynn fight this year OR WHAT? I am in awe - totally and completely! The love of life that she showed all of us has inspired me to start a new project for the family - please join me in this!

"For the Love of Robynn" is a book that is going to be created with TLC by a few of the West Sac Girls. We are going to collect special messages, pix and the likes and compile them into a special collection for Brian, Brady and Hailey.

Here's how you can help make this EXTRA special :) Since we want to make this book filled with love (or even oozing with love!), we would love for you to provide a special message in your own handwriting. (I know, computers are sooo much easier!). OR at the very least (second choice)... computer printed but signed by you :)

We are looking for:

• Special messages sharing what you loved about Robynn, why you'll miss her, what you learned from her, what cracked you up about her or whatever YOU would like to share with her sweet family.
• Pictures. We'd love to have you include 1 or 2 (max) regular sized photos to go with YOUR message. A picture of Robynn would be great if you have one, but if you have a favorite of your family that you'd like to share that would be AOK too ~ we'll leave it up to you.
• LOVE. Yes! The most important ingredient is that you write or create this with LOVE :)

Specifics. If you'd like to create a page yourself, kindly make it no larger than 8" by x 8". You may do that, or simply submit your few items and we will attach them to a page for you and of course add a little extra TLC (Simple, right?). There are no other rules! Black and white, colors, whatever you would like to use will be AOK with us. We will collect items for this project through January 31st and then put them all together to give to Brian and the kiddos for Valentine's Day. This will not be considered a surprise ~ so it's okay to bring it up. :)

Robynn and Brian family members... yes, this means you too! This is not only a great way to share the love but also a way to make you smile while you are healing as well :)

Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
Amazing!!! Gently removes eye makeup, including waterproof mascara, without tugging or pulling the delicate skin in the eye area. Formula does not leave skin feeling dry.

We may get other ideas as well BUT, I have become a faithful Mary Kay consumer and have a few faves myself!

For the girls like me who are pushing 40 (okay... or over... but I can pretend, right?) I love their age-fighting products!!! Check out my top three (constant reorder) items!

Time Wise Age-Fighting Moisturizer

Time Wise Age-Fighting Eye Cream (my FAVE!!)http://www.marykay.com/skincare/antiaging/10710100/10710100/default.aspx

Tinted moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 20.
I have never been a foundation person - yuck - too heavy! But this is so light, I don't feel like I have anything on, and it covers all of the things that weren't there a few years ago!

A Sweet Robynn Poem by West Sac Girl Emilie Young :)

If Only For Today

If only for today I could see you smile
To treasure and to fill my heart
We have but each day to hold and cherish
When once there were so many more
All my troubles today
Seem so little

If only for today I could take it on
For you my friend I would
We have but each moment
To share how much we care
All the care you have shown
Will always shine on

If only for today we could all smile
To know that you are a friend
We have but each special memory
Where you have been a part

So hold on to that smile
Hold on to that heart
Hold on to those memories
If only for today
