Last month around Mother's Day, I shared with you about Pampers celebrating their 50th birthday. They know how much parenting has changed over the years and sharing their believe that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected, they unveiled a Little Miracles Mission campaign. This program was about delivering acts of kindness to miracles and their families while encouraging parents to support others. I really though it was a great idea, and couldn't have been happier to learn about what they're up to now!
Pampers is taking their pay-it-forward campaign to a whole new level with the help of Points of Light Institute, by throwing baby showers for 1,000 moms across the country in May and June. I think this is fantastic! I was blessed to have a couple of baby showers with each of my pregnancies, and can't describe how special they made me feel. It was great being with friends and family, celebrating the coming arrival of our babies.
Over the last few weeks, several expectant moms have been given a very special surprise and their pictures and stories will be shared right on Pampers Facebook Page. In fact, I have a couple of short videos to share with you from the showers that have recently been thrown.
The first one is the surprise baby shower for a military family - Sergeant First Class Sam & Cindy Wolford.
The second video is the baby shower thrown to honor expecting mom, Magdalene Adolphe.
I am very touched just hearing these stories and seeing the joy these baby showers brought to expectant parents. They were so thankful and excited! What a great way to celebrate a new life and support the new parents with products they'll need and most important, love.
Mission #2 is also live on the Pampers Facebook Page. This is all about making dad's first Father's Day one he'll never forget! The mission is to help give dads the time he and his baby deserve to bond. It's so critical to baby's development, and Pampers knows that. Just by running some of his errands, covering his late meeting at work or helping him with some chorest at home can make room for some precious quality time with his little miracle. If Pampers gets 4,000 commitments to complete the mission, they will throw special Father's Day cook-outs for dads and babies across the country.
Also, every person who commits to this mission is automatically entered into the Miracles Missions sweepstakes for a chance to win free diapers and wipes for a year!
I just love the joy these missions are bringing to expectant parents across the United States and am excited to announce the giveaway they have offered one lucky A Mom's Balancing Act reader!
Win It: Pampers has offered one very lucky reader a $300 AMEX Gift Card so they will hopefully use it to help throw an amazing baby shower for an expectant mom they know.

I have a friend of mine who’s pregnant and a single mom like me, I’d throw her a baby shower. To make it memorable…hmmm well having a baby shower at all would be memorable for her, but I’d get one of those diaper cakes.
I’m not sure of the theme, I’d have to do some recon to find out what her thoughts are on the room design. I know the bedding she registered for has a zoo animal theme so something along those lines, I think.
I know she’d be touched by the gesture and very appreciative of the baby shower and gifts!
I'd like to throw a shower for my sister. It's been awhile since having a newborn in the house and she could use a couple of things. BUT most importantly, I want it to be special.

If I won this I would actually throw 2 baby showers for 2 special people in my life. My two best friends that I've known since my childhood who are pretty much my sisters. Their pregnant at the same time. Their both single moms and really struggle to make ends meet so this would be awesome and a great surprise for them. I know I would make their year by doing this! I would love to make them cute baby cakes made of baby wash clothes, diapers, lotions, bibs, etc.

I don’t have any friends or family who are currently pregnant, so I guess I would throw the shower for the next person I know that is! LOL I would make it memorable by NOT having any of those silly shower games, making it open to both genders to participate, making it a vegetarian pot luck, and having everyone fill out a note card with their best parenting advice on it for the parents to keep!

I would throw it for my friends Steve and Ryan who are planning to have their second child in the next couple of years…too late to have it for their current baby! LOL It would be memorable because it would be a shower for guys…gals allowed but the parents to be are dudes! All the games and stuff would be gay-centric and funny/fun!

I want to throw a shower for my niece. She is expecting her first and we are so close. We even share the same b-day. She is going through a hard time. I am so proud of her. She is in college and working 2 jobs. I am so proud that she is trying to further herself for her baby.

I’d throw a shower for the women I volunteer for at a local charity for unwed and/or addicted mothers and their children. Many of the girls are on public assistance and cannot afford to eat healthy meals. I’d prepare wholesome, fresh, organic appetizers and snacks (I also teach cooking classes on occasion) . I’d have a diaper cake instead of a regular cake, though I would make an assortment of cupcakes in different varieties.

My sister is throwing me a baby shower this weekend and is paying for everything out of pocket. She is a recent college grad and doesn't have much money, and even though I didn't want her to go crazy - a simple get-together would be awesome too - she has gone all out to give me a really great shower. I would love to use the AMEX card to give to her a a thank you for everything she has done.
