Hello everyone and happy Friday! :)
Just taking a break in the photo posting to mention something that I adore and feel strongly about. Most of you, if not all of you, have never heard me talk about my favorite band in all the world. And some of you may laugh at who it is. I'm okay with that. :) That band is Hanson. Yep, "Mmmbop" Hanson. I've loved them for 11 years and it isn't gonna stop. I met them last year when I saw them on tour and they are three phenomenal guys who have a great passion for music and life. I mention Hanson only because they introduced me to a great company and several outstanding causes. Hanson promotes a few different causes at takethewalk.net such as fighting aids, donating shoes to needy children, building schools, and drilling wells. They're extremely passionate about it and their last album and subsequent tour raised a ton of money toward these things by donating proceeds from the album and the first single off of it and by taking a one mile barefoot walk before every show to raise awareness. Amazing, right? The shoe part is what I'm getting at (which kinda ties in with the photo challenge Jenna presented! See, it all came full circle! :D). You may have seen the head of Tom's Shoes on a recent AT&T commercial, because he is, but I first heard of Tom's Shoes because of Hanson. Tom's Shoes creates really neat and comfy shoes, and the kicker (ha) is that for every pair you purchase, a pair gets donated to a child in Africa.
So go do it. You know you want to. Check out takethewalk.net. Check out Tom's Shoes. And just consider this a PSA from Dawn. :)

I used to love them when I was younger. As I got older I just kinda let it go. My senior year in high school they came on tour to my hometown. We went for the fun of it and I fell in love with them all over again. I love all their newest albums and The Walk is awesome. I'm glad there's someone else out there that shares this. I get made fun of all the time!
