Topic Day RECAP -- Celebrating More Birthdays
To the American Cancer Society and anyone who has faced a deadly disease like cancer, birthdays represent a different kind of marker -- one of progress. More than 11 million cancer survivors will celebrate a birthday this year, thanks to the progress we've made against the disease. To many of us, "Happy Birthday" is a victory song, because a world with less cancer is a world with more birthdays. And that's definitely something to celebrate.
In honor of the American Cancer Society's new campaign for more birthdays, SV Moms is celebrating with a special More Birthdays Bash. Today, bloggers from the Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Chicago, D.C. Metro, Deep South, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Rocky Mountain, Canada and 50 Something Moms blogs will be writing about all things birthdays and what they mean to us as moms.
Join us throughout the day as these posts go up. Who knows what our bloggers will write about. They may make you laugh...they may make you cry (kinda like at your last birthday party!). You may even get some great birthday tips! Look below the fold for a round up of all the posts on Birthdays!
