On this National Day of Giving, I would like to extend a heartfelt invitation to mothers who have experienced loss (no matter the form) to join us for a truly special evening.

You may wonder, “How can a ball be for me?” But let me share something truly meaningful for our local loss mothers.

Ava Laurènne is a beautiful place, owned by a remarkable woman, Wendy. Last year, I had the honor of attending the Christmas Ball, where Wendy and her husband Gabe shared a deeply moving story about their daughter, Savannah, who left this world far too soon. Her memory lives on in the name Ava Laurènne, a tribute to both Savannah and her legacy. If you happen to pass by their building on McBeth Street, you’ll see a mural of three flowers: two in full bloom, and one gently unbloomed, forever honoring Savannah.

Wendy’s words filled my heart with hope and inspiration. Her story reminded me that we can live in ways that honor our children’s legacies; whether they left us as tiny seedlings, during later stages of pregnancy, as toddlers, children, or even as adults. As a fellow loss mom, I felt embraced and supported in that space.

While this ball is meant to celebrate the holiday season, it is also a beautiful reminder of the enduring strength and hope within every mother’s heart.

I invite you to join us at Ava Laurènne’s Ball on December 12, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM. This evening is a chance to dress up, celebrate, and honor your child’s legacy. Tickets are free, and I promise it will be an unforgettable event 🤍

Get ready to step into the magic of the season with Ava Laurenne Bride’s Ring In The Season Christmas Ball!

In just thirty seconds and ten words, our world changed forever.

“You will no longer be able to naturally conceive children.”

I never imagined life could get any harder after losing Stone. But eight months later, after a near-death ectopic pregnancy, I learned that I would never be able to conceive again.

The journey from anxiously checking pregnancy tests to anxiously checking our bank account has been heart-wrenching. It feels like we are constantly racing against time, age, and circumstances, desperately hoping for the child we’ve prayed for, for so long.

The holiday season has always been difficult, but this year is even harder. I never imagined I’d be grieving two losses, because last year, grieving just one felt unbearable. The pain of knowing I can no longer experience something that so many women can do so effortlessly is gut-wrenching. There are days I feel broken, like a failure, and overwhelmed by sadness.

But in those dark moments, I cling to Matthew 17:20. I remind myself that even faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. All I want for Christmas is a miracle.

In just ten days, Chris and I will be hosting a raffle to support both The Carter IVF Fund and The Stone Carter Foundation. The raffle includes a wine cooler, items from a local charcuterie business, a bar artisan cocktail maker, Vera Bradley kitchen gadgets, a Stanley cup, and much more. Every dollar raised will help families who are grieving loss, and also support our family as we continue to pray for a child of our own.

Our dream is to one day expand The Carter IVF Fund into a foundation that helps women like me; women who, for whatever reason, can’t conceive naturally but long to hold their miracle babies in their arms.

We hope you will consider buying raffle tickets next week to help us get one step closer to achieving our goals, not just for our family, but for so many families who need support. Your contribution would mean the world to us, and to countless others.

Thank you for your love, support, and hope during this incredibly challenging season.

Would anyone like a free kitten?

I have one male kitten who is desperately looking for his furever home and another who also may need a furever home. They are ready to join your family as early as tomorrow 🤍

The male that needs a home is in the center of the second picture! He is a medium haired spotted tabby (colors are black, white, and gray). He has a very vibrant, loving, and playful personality🩶

The other (who is still up in the air) is to the right of the centered cat in the first picture. He is a long haired black and white cat with coloring similar to a cow. He is more shy, quiet, and reserved. 🖤

Good Morning Lindough Family 🩵 I have an amazing testimony I would like to share with you that has had me in tears. Our God is truly an amazing God.

You may remember, I posted a video almost two weeks ago saying there was a family in need of The Stone Carter Foundations help. At the time, I wasn’t sure how I was going to help this beautiful family who recently lost their 19 week old son, Warner.

I prayed and prayed to God asking for a miracle…and GOD ANSWERED.

Natalie from Ava Laurenne Bride called me earlier this week to let me know that they will be recognizing and honoring The Stone Carter Foundation during their Christmas Ball this year. They also told me that a portion of the proceeds from sales this month would go to TSCF.

It is mine and Chris’s hope, that Stone will have a big and beautiful cheering section at the Ball. We know so many of you on Facebook are always looking for ways to support TSCF (WHICH WE LOVE).

During last years ball there was an orchestra, open coffee bar, harpist, ballerina, open bar, lots of dessert, a red carpet, a huge charcuterie grazing table, photographers, a fashion show (I was a model 🤩), a DJ, and so much more. They have an amazing train car built into their studio. You can take a seat in the car and it will feel like you’re riding through the alps. It’s truly incredible.

Chris and I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is feeling called to support TSCF by giving you a ticket to The Ball on Thursday, December 12th from 7-9:30 in Greenville.

I mean, who wouldn’t love getting to dress up and dance at a Ball? Plus, there will be an open Lindough Bakery dessert bar which means free Lindough Cupcakes.

All of this while helping not one, but now two beautiful families who are having a very hard time this Christmas.

I know this was a big post, but I am so thankful to God, Stone, and the entire team at Ava Laurénne Bride, who is making it possible for families not to carry the devastating financial burdens of losing a child this Christmas 🥹💛

11/23/2024

I am so excited to see you soon!

11/22/2024
