Service is our Great Motivator

As a family we have embarked in a new journey that we cannot stop. We enjoy making a difference in our community. Our faith has provided many opportunity for service and it becomes so ever real when our children start planning their own outreach service opportunities. Just recently, the children created kits for homeless, and created an opportunity for both of their classrooms to join together in a good cause "Making Get Well Cards for Pediatric Patients" The kids were so excited when dropping off their cards because the unimaginable happened! They were invited to come in for a tour and given a snack Wow!. The idea came to me that a volunteer opportunity would be the best way to celebrate our daughters Birthday, so we invite you to her PARTY WITH A PURPOSE at Humane Society of Sarasota. Our goal is to collect donations to help the shelter.

Pretending to go for a Ride in Paris

Why Parties are a Big Deal for my Mom?

My Mother was a self-employed homemaker who made a living selling ceramic work art and other decorative items. One of her gifts is making parties. In fact, our trip to the US was funded by a big wedding job before relocating to the USA. I have accepted this as a way of life with gratitude because is part of who I am. In my culture birthdays are important and decorations is a form of art expression. I remember my Mother starting planning my 15th birthday when I was 9 years old. I hope you enjoy with us our birthday party!

Why the Paris Theme?

Grandma McCulloch went on a trip to Paris and brought Anastasia an astonishing and fun replica of Eiffel Tower. This was so beautiful that my Mother and I thought it would be the perfect cake topper. Ideas continued to flow and I thought a service project a humane society would be awesome. Then, my Mom and I thought about the Pink Paris Poodle Theme.. Anastasia loves dogs.. Doggy was the first word she said! Love for Animals is an inheritance from Grandma McCullochs side of the family. Through reading of family history stories and cherished memories about animals in the family, I am aware of many generations that shared this sentiment. For example. Great Great Grandma Letitia, Great Grandma Edna, Grandma McCulloch, Aunt Caroline and now Anastasia.
