Last month I told you about how Pampers was turning 50 and in celebration unveiled its Little Miracle Missions program. The year long campaign was a wonderful way of encouraging others to pay-it-forward and deliver acts of kindness to the most precious miracles – babies – and their families while encouraging parents to support others. Thanks to Pampers, I was able to pay-it-forward to a family in my own community who just recently had a beautiful baby girl. The feeling of giving something to someone without expecting anything in return was absolutely surreal! This was the couple’s third child and every tiny bit helped. They were more than appreciative to receive the gift and I knew I made the correct decision to choose them. I’m hoping someday they can return the act of kindness and pay-it-forward to someone else who is expecting a little miracle!
Pampers is taking their pay-it-forward campaign to a whole new level with the help of Points of Light Institute by throwing 1,000 baby showers for expectant mothers across the country in May and June. Their pictures and uplifting stories will be shared on the Pampers Facebook page and will ensure to inspire acts of kindness everywhere. In fact, I have a few stories and pictures to share with you right here!
The first video shows how a Military family in Cleveland, Ohio was honored with a Pampers baby shower. Watch as Sam and Cindy Wolford get the big surprise!
The next video features expecting mom Magdalene Adolphe of Orlando, Florida. She was honored on May 27th, 20011 by Pampers, Points of Light Institute, and the Honor Society from Meadows Woods Elementary. Magdalene and family arrived from Haiti last year. She is already a mom to Meadow Woods first grader Joshua and cares for a child in her home with Downs Syndrome. Check out her Pampers Little Miracle Missions story!
The last video I have to share with you comes from Cincinnati and honors young mom Jessica Baker who had her baby at 23 weeks old. I love this story! Michael and Jessica are such a cute couple and so happy to be honored! Take a look for yourself!
Mission 2 Needs Your Help!
Just in time for Father’s Day, Pampers has moved on with its next mission to help give dads the time he and his baby deserve to bond! We all know bonding takes time and it is critical to a baby’s development, so lets join in and support the new mission! Here is how you can get involved! Go here and make a pledge to get involved by finding a way to free up some time for a dad to spend some quality moments with his new little miracle. Suggestions include running some of his errands, covering chores at home, or covering his late meeting at work. Pick one of these or share one of your own. For committing to help, you can also enter The Little Miracles sweepstakes for a chance to win free diapers and wipes for a year! Oh and because Pampers already received 4,000 commitments to complete the mission, they will throw special Father’s Day cook-outs for dads and babies across the country designed to give dads and their babies valuable bonding time! How great is that!

I would throw a shower for my niece. For a special touch to make it a special day, I would have the shower recorded on a videocam for her keepsake.
I’d throw the baby shower party for my sister in law and get everyone’s hubby and SO to participate. Men are usually excluded in the event, I’d like to see how they come up with shower gifts and have fun time chatting and playing games together.

I would throw a shower for my friend who is having a baby boy. She has a 2 year old little girl at home and she could really use some boy itmems. I would have it be a couples shower themed around boys. Lots of boy clothing, boy decorations, and boy toys. She could really use this and would really appreciate it!

I would love to host a baby shower for my niece Katie. She and her husband are just starting out and are expecting their first child. Katie is like a daughter to me, often visiting and we often go out together. I almost feel like I’m going to be a Grandma. Katie loves the color yellow, so I thought having a party theme of yellow duckies would be really cute.
Thanks so much.

I am the only one of my friends and family who is pregnant, and my sister is throwing me a baby shower next Saturday. She is fresh out of college and doesn’t make much money but I know she is going all out for my shower. I really appreciate the extra effort she is putting into it and would love to use this to offset some of the costs that I know are coming out of her personal budget for day to day expenses. I wish I knew some of the little details she was planning (believe me, I’ve asked) but I do know that she has been having a lot of things hand-made through Etsy sellers, which I absolutely love!
