The Buzz:

In celebration of its 50th birthday, Pampers is recognizing how much parenting has changed over the years, and is sharing their belief that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected, by unveiling its Little Miracle Mission campaign – a program that delivers acts of kindness to miracles and their families while encouraging parents to support others.

The brand recently kicked off the Little Miracle Missions campaign by delivering a giant act of support –donating care packages to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across the country. Celebrities Joey Lawrence , Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos and LaLa Anthony were on-hand in New York City to personally deliver a care package and thank you basket to Mt. Sinai Hospital and their staff.



Do you want to help?:

YES?


Great!
Hop over to Pampers Facebook Page and click on the Miracle Missions tab to lock in your support. Once you do this go ahead and plan your "Act(s) of Love" for an expectant mother(s) you know or plan to bless upon through an organization or institution.


Will it make a difference if I skip committing my support on the Facebook page and just help out quietly? :

Oh yes it WILL make a BIG difference, here's why....
Once more than 2,500 people pledge that they have achieved this mission , Pampers will respond by giving 1000 baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day.


Do I know someone in need?:

All of us know atleast one expectant Mommy in church, in the neighborhood or through a friend, who is struggling to get things together before her precious little baby arrives. There's so much you can do to help and guess what? It isn't hard at all!
Remember your gift for this baby does not have to be expensive nor does it have to be big. Every little hand towel pack or baby bootie counts!


I want to help but have no idea what a new Mommy would really want:

Buying baby essentials like baby clothes, towels and toiletries are important but something that is NEVER an unwanted gift is diapers. (especially considering how expensive they can be if you don't shop wisely)

Here's how I would make my 50$ Gift Card stretch out to its maximum worth. Feel free to do the same too....
Sign up for Amazon Mom (this is free) and order Pampers Diapers for the Mommy/Mommies you have in mind making sure you order using the SUBSCRIBE & SAVE option.
With this option you can buy diapers at 30% off the regular price, thus allowing you to buy MORE diapers within your given budget.

(Note: You can cancel the Subscribe and Save option at any time, without any penalties)

Now that we know what to do....LETS DO IT !!


Pampers wants to help one of you pay-it-forward:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a 50$ Amex Gift Card to use to bless upon an expectant Mommy/Mommies in whatever way he/she deems most appropriate.


Will this be the only Mission?:

Oh no! Pampers will issue different missions throughout the entire year to celebrate all aspects of parenthood, and with the help of parents, family and friends, they hope to touch the lives of every baby born in the next year.
