SHOUT OUT to the ladies of LIF! UPDATED!
I am amazed and overwhelmed by the generosity of the women on this board.  You are all truly wonderful women and I am proud to know all of you.
In a world where most moms compete and try to put each other down, you are all a bright light of hope in this crazy world.
HUGE HUGS TO ALL OF YOU 
-Dina
***UPDATE: Ok, Well after reading Casey31's (Ariella) post last night, I knew I wanted to do something to help. I belong to a meetup group where i live that -DonnaMarie- (on LIF) and AmieeE2006 (On LIF) belong to as well. The women in the group made meals for my family while I was in the hospital last year w/my heart surgery. I remember how big a help iot was to me, my DH and my MIL who was helping watching Grace at the time (DH was w/me in the hospital). Anyway, when one of the moms dropped off her meal to us, my MIL said to her how great this was and how thankful we were and the woman put her hand up in the air and said "Stop it. This is what we do as moms, we take care of our own, it is like a mommy sisterhood, we help each other out". My MIL was speechless and started to cry. She told me about it when I cam home. Needless to say, those words rang in my ear last night...one of "our LIF mommies" needs OUR help. So I FM'ed Barb, the only girl on LIF that I knew lived close to Ariella. I threw this idea out to her and she cc'ed two other girls, then I FM'ed a few others.
In the end TaW-Wee-Zah (Theresa), nrthshgrl (Barb), Eireann (Erin)
lipglossjunky73 (Liza), Lorimarie (Lori), Karacg (Kara), chmlengr (Trish), AndreaLMT (Andrea), lvdolphins (Dawn), Charly (Jodi), hbugal (Heather) and myself (dandr10199 / Dina) all volunteered to make meals for Ariella's family. In addition to that, 12 other ladies FM'ed me wanting to help, but there was no more room on the schedule.
Girls, I am AMAZED at your generosity, selflessness, and willingness to help someone you barely know. You ALL deserve a
Thank you all!

Girls,
You all don't even know the half of it, I will post all about what I am talking about once everything is finalized.
All I have to say is these girls on here are the most generous, sweetest women I have ever encountered.

Re: SHOUT OUT to the ladies of LIF! UPDATED!
what a great idea !! count me in !
I also had several moms bring me meals when I gave birth, I was beyond touched, I "payed it forward" when a friend's dad passed away, I made them a few trays of food, main dish salad and dessert to have at home for a few days.
please count me in on anything, im local also.

Re: SHOUT OUT to the ladies of LIF! UPDATED!
Thanks girls. I really want no credit here, just paying it forward. 
There is some talk over FM about an "LIF Mom's Meal Support" group. Where we would help out other moms in need like after the birth of a baby or a surgery. It is in the works & being discussed. Stay Tuned...
What are your thoughts on this?

Re: SHOUT OUT to the ladies of LIF! UPDATED!
aww that is so sweet!
No doubt this will relieve Ariella of some stress right now, one less thing to worry about!
Dina -you always wanted to find a way to be on the giving end of the support that was shown to you and this is perfect girl!
What a great group of ladies!
