I am one of many mothers whom I know who are undertaking this project with their own children so it's pretty exciting to be apart of this grassroots effort and to be making it a family affair involving our children of all ages! Perhaps you've heard of it - it's the "Re-Tea Party" and ,YES, we're participating in this exciting grassroots movement that is slowly but surely gaining increasing momentum across America. I like to think of it as the 'Tea Party of Our Generation' and look forward to being a part of it!!!!
Rest assured, we will take pictures of our tea-stuffing envelope party that will take place within the next week or so and will post them here for your enjoyment...in the meantime, I encourage you to take a moment to read through just a few of the highlights of the upcoming April 1st initiative presently underway across America. And, if you read, hear or see something that strikes a chord with you too, why not get involved and become this generation's tea party patriot also?!

TEA BAG WASHINGTON D.C. - APRIL 1st 2009
In 1773, the original Patriots put their lives on the line. With an envelope, a stamp, and a simple bag of tea, millions of Americans can send a peaceful message - our lives have value.
If you’re feeling like ‘Don’t Tax Me Bro’ like I am and like many millions of other Americans, then on April 1st, 2009, will you join in sending the Oval Office a Tea Bag, in honor of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, and in anticipation of its nationwide symbolic re-enactment in the summer of 2009?

Finally, mark your calendars for April 15th 2009. Here in Northern California, as well as all across the country, tea party protests are being planned. One such Tea Party will be taking place in California's state capitol on April 15th, and YES you guessed it again, we'll be there...homemade signs and all along with some of our friends and their families! Be sure to check back in the coming weeks for more information and of course to peruse the photographs that will be featured.
