My mom lost her battle with ovarian cancer in October 2012.

September is ovarian cancer awareness month, and while I don't plan to make that the focus on my blog for this entire month, I do feel a sense of obligation to at least mention it on this, the first day of September. |

While Carrie and I were visiting our family in California this past weekend, we set aside some time to have pedicures. In honor of my mom, the nail polish we chose was teal, the color representing ovarian cancer.
Please take a few minutes to educate yourself about ovarian cancer and its symptoms. And if you are so inclined, we'd love to have you join us in remembering our mom/grandmother, Marti, with teal toes in September.
You can read more about my mom here.
Please use hashtag #TealToesForMarti on Instagram so we can appreciate you.

Best first day of September post I'm going to see today
I echo what Sian has written ... and I'll be on it (as soon as The Boy Child is back to school). x
I'll definitely be joining in especially as my good friend from work is going through chemo now for it having been diagnosed 6 weeks ago.
I got teal on my toes yesterday---not even aware that was for ovarian cancer. I'll be sure to keep it this color all month in honor of your mom.
Changing from purple to teal this week :)
Remembering your Mum and all who are coping with cancer this month, and thinking of you all in that lovely family circle ...
