We sure do love this local business! Great people, with the best intentions for bringing our community affordable, honest garage door services in the most inconvenient times. We appreciate the opportunity to keep you looking spiffy with your business apparel.

Thank you Ginger Media Schmidt House Arts for another great box of business apparel. These guys take great care of us. From business cards to car decals, they have been great partners for our small business needs.

This morning, I’m getting ready to pour myself a cup of ambition, but the world just does not feel the same without Dolly in it.

We need to be more like Dolly. Speak with kindness. Give generously. Laugh often. Stay true to who you are. Work hard, dream big and leave people better than you found them.

The world will never be the same without her, but it can still be a better place because of the example she left behind.

Childhood memories unlocked with today’s yard sale find! Who remembers these vintage Styrofoam koozies?

Fun fact: these came from the same package. One is stamped Crown Molding Company and the other is Crown Machine & Tool Company. How fun would it be if they are still around?

The porch is open today for anyone who didn’t make it last weekend. Come on over.

If you serve vulnerable populations in the Michiana area, you need to be at Michiana Family Center’s event on August 30!

I do not know of another organization serving this specific population with such a wide reaching embrace of love, compassion and intention. They help fill critical gaps by supporting relative, kinship and foster families. They also provide preventative services that strengthen guardians, preserve families and help keep children from entering foster care.

Just as importantly, they are doing this work the right way. They are not simply promoting themselves or focusing only on their own organization. They intentionally partner with other nonprofits and support the helpers who are already doing meaningful work throughout our community.

Nonprofits do not belong in silos. We should be serving one another with intention because our collective impact is always greater when we work together. Michiana Family Center truly understands that.

If you work in child welfare, foster care, family preservation, preventative care or any field serving vulnerable populations, this will be an incredible opportunity to network and build meaningful community connections.

This event is also for anyone who feels inspired by this work, wants to learn more or is looking for a way to get involved. And frankly, if you have a lot of money and a good heart and want to help support this incredible organization, we would love to see you there! Come help fund the cause and enjoy some amazing donated items that will be available for purchase throughout the evening.

Thad and I will be there, and we hope to see you too!

We are so excited to share that we will have not one, not two, but THREE state representatives joining us at our Annual Benefit Dinner on Sunday, August 30! Their presence and support of foster, adoptive, and kinship families across our region means the world to us and to the families we serve. We are honored to have leaders in our corner who believe in this work.

Tickets are still available here - https://michianafamilycenter.org/events.

Get right on outta here! Look at this! Give these people your business! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Tiger Bounce we are way over here in Indiana and are highly involved in the foster care and kinship care communities. I was a foster mother for 10 years.

We’ve been keeping a secret & have been hard at work to bring back our program for FOSTER FAMILIES! We wanted something that supported our families who step up for vulnerable children in our community but also made things work for us as a business and wouldn’t be used fraudulently.

And we think we have it…

Coming SEPTEMBER 1st, with documentation and an active DVN, foster families can receive a FREE Stripes Club membership! This is a $150 yearly membership and can be renewed every year with appropriate documents…. and we’re giving this to foster families completely free!

This allows families to get discounted UNLIMITED admission ($3 per child per visit), discounted parties, merch, and concessions!

***Families who qualify should email us at [email protected] for more information and to get the account set up! Unfortunately at this time, same day sign up is not possible. Please register prior to visiting us to sign up for this program! Register at least 48 hours prior to visit to ensure membership is active or be prepared to pay normal costs.
