QVC SUPER SATURDAY LIVE BENEFITING OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH FUND 
Committed to giving back to the community, MD Moms (www.mdmoms.com) has
donated $40,000 worth of product to QVC Presents Super Saturday Live. The
event was created to support the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund
(www.ocrf.org). Broadcasting live from The Hamptons on Saturday, August 1
from 2 – 4 p.m. (EST), this special two-hour show will offer top designer
brands, at half the manufacturer’s suggested retail price with net proceeds
benefiting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. As part of QVC Presents Super
Saturday Live, MD Moms will, for the very first time, offer its popular Baby
Silk To Go Travel Set and award-winning Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen
Towelette Single Three-Pack in a special bundled package. This year, MD Moms
will participate alongside companies such as L'Oréal Paris, philosophy and
Brooks Brothers. The broadcast will reach QVC’s 96 million U.S. homes.
“We’re honored to work toward a common goal with brands that we’ve enjoyed
and admired for so long,” said JJ Levenstein, M.D., FAAP, and president and
co-founder of MD Moms. “MD Moms has never offered these two products
together at a reduced cost, and we’re thrilled to be able to donate 100
percent of our sales from this product bundle to support the outstanding
work of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.” MD Moms is offering the Travel
Set and Sunscreen Towelette Single Three-Pack together for $17.75—a $35.50
value—during the two-hour live broadcast. Additionally, the product bundle
will be available on www.qvc.com through the month of August, while supplies
last. MD Moms will also include its Sunscreen Single 3-packs in the kids’
goodie bags at the Super Saturday all-day garage sale, which features more
than 200 top designers, a kids’ carnival, games, a gourmet buffet, manicures
and more.

Surprisingly Simple Organization
Referral from Jens List member lamom12 at gmail.com 
“I hired Surprisingly Simple Organization to organize several of the rooms
in my house. I am a complete clutter bug and my organizer was extremely
efficient, hands-on and all-business. She methodically but VERY efficiently
went through an overwhelming amount of clutter in several of the rooms of my
house, including organizing the closets and even buying appropriate baskets
and other storage items for me and bringing them back by and finalizing the
project by placing these items into the appropriate storage containers as we
had discussed! In addition, she even stopped by the post office and goodwill
to help me get things OUT of my house. (This is often where my best
intentions are lost and the piles just start up again. She does not need to
go to these lengths with you if you do not need this much hand holding,
she's happy to just come in and focus on one small project as well.) I had
several sizes of clothes, from weight loss and gain, a pregnancy, suits,
casual, etc. - she took my ridiculously stuffed and disorganized closet and
helped me figure out what was worth keeping and neatly storing away, what
did not need to be saved and showed me how to organize what was left. I am
not a disorganized person by nature, but I am completely overwhelmed by
clutter in my home and Laura at Surprisingly Simple literally helped me
regain my sanity. I highly recommend that you call them - whether you want
to reorganize all at once, just a little at a time, or just one small room
or pile of stuff, I can't recommend them highly enough! Call them at
310-367-5205 or email them at SurprisinglySimple at gmail.com.”

and wants to now help new moms begin their relationship with their new
little one on the right path. She is amazing with children. Everyone has
some kind of talent and hers is loving babies and kids. The only thing she
is lacking for her certification is the recommendation letters from three
families for whom she has acted as a pp doula. She needs 8 hours with each
family and is willing to give a cut-rate deal (or maybe even free if the
family needs her and can't afford to pay). Please contact her at:
