treasu(red)

Anyone who has known us for more than like three hours probably knows that Matt and I are passionate about Africa and, more specifically, feel at this point in our lives that we are called to eventually live out the Great Commission in sub-Saharan Africa. Having both spent time in different counties in this uniquely wonderful region of the world, we recognize the vast physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of these beautiful people.

Speaking of beautiful people…

So, I’ve heard for a while about the (PRODUCT) RED campaign which was started by by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise awareness and money for the diseases of AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. As we all know, these illnesses kill millions of people every year, many of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa. A number of different companies teamed up to create products for this campaign, and a percentage of the sale of each product sold goes directly to women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. The products have become pretty trendy among much of Hollywood, but I’m okay with that so long as the money is helping those in need.

Well, I had been eyeing this adorable outfit on the BabyGap website for months, but just about every size had been sold out for a long time. I even checked Ebay, but people were selling it for more than it even cost at Gap!! Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I saw this nestled away at my new favorite kid’s consignment store for three bucks! Obviously, not a single cent I spent on it will be going to Africa, but I lovelovelove it nonetheless… not to mention- Carson is so ridiculously CUTE in it!!
