Julen Smiles

Is this the cutest little mug you’ve seen all day or is it the cutest little mug you’ve seen all day?! 🥹😍 🐻 🎄

Because this pic needs a permanent place on my feed…
Guys. This bear brought so much joy to our sweet boy after a trough couple weeks and disappointing news this past week. We are so beyond thankful for people like those at the foundation. They literally just do this to bring smiles and love to kiddos with special needs. Every day is hard for these kiddos but the holidays can be especially rough with all the extra food around. Reminders that they are in fact very different than much of their family and friends. And then the increase in activities and overstimulation. But these moments brighten their days and give them increased comfort and joy.

❤️ The most inspiring little cheeks! Tubie2Go Happy to be part of this for you ❤️

Catching up on FB and Tubie2Go made me 😭. Grateful to have met you and to be doing good in this world together ❤️

𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗦 to share with you all as I wrap up this 100 🍣 Rompers to 100 Tubie 👪 Free Giveaway:

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆, to everyone who has commented, reached out, or emailed to thank me personally (whether as a winner or just for the opprtunity to win)... I will graciously take credit for all of the 'fun' administrative burdens in organizing this massive giveaway...

BUT I want to remind everyone that Tubie2go used money from the GoFundMe that was set up as a memorial fund for Magnus shortly after his passing.

A total of $10K was generously donated from our friends and followers just after Magnus' passing so that I could find ways of honoring his memory while giving back to the very community that inspired ALL of THIS -- that is, Tubie2go (free giveaways included)!

That means I should be thanking anyone who contributed to that fund.

The 26 Canadian rompers Tubie2go paid for was just a small drop in the bucket so if you didn't win a romper, don't worry friends! There is plenty more to come.

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆, this giveaway would also not have been possible without the generosity of my friend Laura and her foundation, Julen Smiles; they sponsored all 76 of the USA winner rompers.

Laura and her late son, Julen, deserve a whole separate post and writeup... they are an inspiration I must share with ya'll but I will leave that for another day and another time!

For now, let's just say that the commonality between Magnus and Julen brought us two Mamas together. For better or for worse. That's medical life for you... always a bit of both sides.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, a special thanks to owner Carin and her team at Ready Set Romper for working with Laura and I to maximize our funds... so that we could reward as many tubie families as possible for Magnus' b-day year.

Carin and I have been messaging back and forth as far back as December, organizing how to make this happen.

She and her company not only help kids like Magnus find comfortable and tube accessible clothes, but they sponsor an entire village of children in Uganda as well, both to get schooling and in attire.

If you haven't shopped Ready Set Romper as of yet, I encourage you to check them out! It is a business with big hearts behind it, both in the owner and the community of followers... much like Tubie2go!

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆....

I am HONORED for all the praise and thanks but this was truly a team effort of SO SO MANY.... including YOU, our followers.

If I can be the conduit/catalyst to keep generating unexpected wins and joyful families like yours (which ANY medical family can use more of, right?!), I am happy to do so while I still can!

Ya'll are the true inspiration for continuing to paying it forward and for the help in keeping Magnus' memory alive.

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 🙏
Stay tuned - so much more to come.

❤ Tiffany
