Hello! Today is the last day of August! Everyone is getting ready for Back-to-School time, which makes me think about the kids who do not have the supplies they need when they show up to their first day of school. The Kids In Need Foundation is a not-for-profit with a mission to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. The Foundation does this through 24 resource centers across the country, where teachers can “shop” for free supplies. The Foundation also supports a teacher grant program; all K-12 educators nationwide are eligible. Finally, the Foundation supports a school box program to help get supplies to students in rural areas. The Kids In Need Foundation 2010 gala and business luncheon is on September 29 at The Depot in Minneapolis. The gala reception is sponsored by Target. For more details on the gala and luncheon, visit the KINF site. You can buy your tickets online here. To learn more about the Foundation, or to make a donation, you can “fan” the Kids In Need Foundation Facebook site. Cheers to a great school year!

Katie Cruise and Suri Cruise: Summer Fun

Katie Cruise and Suri enjoy a relaxing day of summertime shopping. Suri, looking cheerful in a colorful dress, also toted around her signature accessory: a Playtex bottle with milk.

Some child development experts say two-year-old Suri is much to old to be drinking from a bottle, but sources close to Katie say the mother is not concerned. Perhaps dad Tom Cruise is more relaxed than he seems?

We have to hand it to Suri, this baby accessory is affordable!

 

The Playtex Drop-Ins system can be purchased at Target online, and in stores for $15.89.
