Save the Date: Love Bug Soiree
We love Houston and the arts, so we are thrilled to join with Gallery 3 in the historic Winter Street Studios for our Love Bug Soiree on Wednesday, February 15. Gallery 3 is generously donating both their gorgeous space AND 10% of gallery sales during the event to Love Bug Bundles.
We hope you will save the date for a post-Valentine charity benefit (ticket sales and event details below).

A Look Back at 2011
Happy New Year! 2011 was a year of wonderful stepping stones for Love Bug Bundles, and we are looking forward to taking leaps and bounds in 2012. Now for a little retrospective...
Our Giving
Thanks to your generosity, we donated 51 new infant bath tubs, more than 2,500 pieces of gently used infant clothing, and hundreds of other basic necessities, such as new infant clothing, toiletries, wash cloths, Lansinoh cream, baby wipes, and diaper bags to Houston families. We are hopeful that this year will bring many more opportunities to share as much love as we can with those who need it most.
Our Growth
As an organization that started as a personal charity project, we achieved a major milestone this year...we became an official non-profit corporation. Jessica Morrison, an associate at the Austin-based law firm Thompson & Knight LLP, volunteered to help us pro bono. Jessica's commitment, diligence, enthusiasm, and kindness helped us navigate the process of becoming a non-profit corporation in the state of Texas and obtaining 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status. We are truly grateful for Jessica's support in this transformational step toward fulfilling the Love Bug Bundles mission.
Our Joy
With love and gratitude, we welcomed our third love bug, Evangeline Sejal, born on September 9, 2011. Our first love bug, Micah, will be four in January; and our second love bug, Isabel, will be two in February. As we also prepare to celebrate the 4th anniversary of Love Bug Bundles in March, we are amazed by how we have grown as an organization and as a family.
Our Gratitude
We are humbled by every donation, large or small. Every little thing matters. We sincerely thank you for every item you donated, whether it was an infant bath tub, wash cloths, bath wash, diapers, baby wipes, clothing, a diaper bag, or breast pump. Thank you also to those who gave monetary donations...every dollar matters.
Our Hope
2012 promises to be our best year yet! We are grateful for the support you have given at our past events and look forward to creating new events that will become Love Bug traditions. "Love" is in our name because it's at the heart of our mission. We'll be sending details on a Valentine's Day event soon!
Here's to you! May hope, joy, peace, and LOVE be yours!
