April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Did you know approximately 3 million reports of child abuse are made a year in the United States? It is estimated that the actual number of incidents of abuse and neglect is THREE TIMES more than what is reported. The Chicago Police Department makes sure baby blankets are on hand at more than a dozen of the city's shelters for those who are able to flee. And so this week, many of us got together to spend part of the day making baby blankets for those children. They are so easy to make, even I, the crafty novice found my creative genius.
About Me
- AJ Sterling
- I'm an award winning television journalist who has managed to survive more than a decade in the biz. It's helped me make quick decisions and remain cool under intense pressure and last minute deadlines. I love the rush! It has also been great training for parenthood. My husband and I have an almost 4 year old son and a newly one year old daughter. Life is always entertaining with them and they always remind me to make the most of everyday and do so with a sense of humor.
