we can’t just sit around and do nothing.

I am shamelessly stealing this idea from OHmommy who recently raised money for the earthquake victims of Haiti. Brilliant ideas are totally worth copying.

For every comment on this post, I will donate $1 to help the Haitian people. I have to cap it at $200. But I want to give more. So I asked two amazing businesses, Baby Star and Yogamat Boutique if they would partner with me in this cause. These are the kind of companies that don’t just make fabulous products but also care about our environment and our world. Both Baby Star and Yogamat Boutique agreed to match my donation!

So please leave a comment on this post to make your dollar count. And please take a moment to visit the sites of Baby Star and Yogamat.

Baby Star is a super stylish, eco friendly baby apparel and accessories company.You will love everything on their site. From blankets to bedding to diaper bags, this is THE site for design savvy parents. Or at least those of us who strive to get there.

This is their super cute rick-rack dress for ages 3 months to 24 months, available in adorable patterns. Baby Star is also donating 10% of its January proceeds to the Mercy Corps efforts in Haiti.

Yogamat Boutique is an ecologically conscious active and lounge wear company. They sell the cutest, most flattering clothes, for doing yoga or just lounging around. This company was started by three impressive women (a former model, rock musician and denim market executive) so they know style and beauty.

This is their Delhi Silhouette yoga pants for spring. It’s an adorable capri and you can pair it with the Andaman top that promises to hides back fat and love handles. Yahoo for that!

So thank you to Yogamat and Baby Star for their generous donations. And thank you everyone for taking a moment to leave a comment and help us raise money for Haiti.I am so grateful. xo xo

A comment for Haiti! There is someone in Ardsley collecting stuffed animals for Haitian children, which seems like such an easy way to help for all us who have so many we can donate. Let me know if I can send you the info.

Of course I’ll comment and do my part. Thanks Kelcey, for everything you do, even the little things that may not seem like much from one perspective. Every bit of insight or humor or even pain that you share through your blog touches hearts and spreads positive energy in ways that can’t be measured. This is something that can be, and I for one, am grateful.

could there be any better reason to stop being a quiet reader?? kelcey, I really love reading your blog, it is so REAL in so many ways… also thanks for your effort to help haiti – I’m gladly joining in!

Yes, it’s horrible to watch the pictures coming in of the suffering going on there. However, the USA has given milllions/billions in AID over the years to a corrupt government and it never trickled down to the people. I’ve been to Haiti and I wouldn’t return there in the ‘best of times’. I’d suggest the USA take over the country, spend our taxpayer money on making it a vacation paradise, creating jobs for Haitians and eliminating crime- ridden Mexico from getting tourist dollars from us. My contribution has been given to the Red Cross…

You are not only fabulous, but generous. I know that my friends at Packer (in Brooklyn) just raised some serious cash at a bake sale. We are talking a heck of a lot of cupcakes! It’s great when we all come together to help.

Great idea Kelc…here’s my dollar. I will also be helping in another way by possibly deploying with my disaster team and our 2 Mobile Acute Care Hospitals (named MACH-I and II) in the next few weeks. Keep me, my colleagues, and the people of Haiti in your prayers. Thanks.

Good job Kelcey and OHmommy! I know I’ve missed being in the ‘top 200′ but wanted to write as I was trying to think of how UV Skinz could help donate plus raise awareness on this. You’ve got me thinkin’! And please let me know if you ever need other companies to help you with matching donations! Great work.
