 Lulu’s newest book is arriving March 13th! It’s funny, it’s cute and it will make a difference in your life and the lives of others! “Lulu’s Lovely Dress That’s Too Small!” A funny and touching true story that every parent can relate to about a day when Lulu had outgrown her “most favorist dress”… if you have ever wanted to pull your hair out by 8:00 a.m. then you will want this book! Lulu, as usual, teaches her mother what is truly important. The end of the story… Lulu and Gretchan give her lovely dress way. “A gift of Love is never too small”. Gretchan has partnered with GiftsToGive, a SouthCoast non-profit, student powered, community organization. GiftsToGive is all about giving children a tangible/immediate/sustainable opportunity to work for social justice. Students actually "do" the work through their programs of: service learning, positive action, community organizing and our favorite; working a "shift" in their refurbished New Bedford mill, processing and assembling no-charge gift packages for in-need south coast kids. Best of all; GiftsToGive is about showing children that they can share their treasure and in their “doing”, experience the power of giving. It’s funny, it’s cute and it will make a difference in your life and the lives of others! Combined book signings and clothing

 Olivia & Gretchan Pyne
 We, as a family flew to Warren,
Ohio in March to spread Lulu's message of love and hope to the
Warren/Youngstown/Newton Falls Community. Gretchan was the
keynote speaker at the Avalon Inn. The event's purpose was to empower mother's
and women. It was a day we, as women, joined together to celebrate our lives
and each other.  Our trip to OHIO was one of the most amazing
Lulu events ever! The Ladies and Children of the
Saint Mary and
Joseph's School made us feel so loved and welcomed!!! We are forever
grateful for their open hearts and their passion to make the world a better
place! We will never forget our special time there and know that we will always
have a special place in our hearts for all of you at the
Saint Mary and
Joseph's School. Our special thanks to all of the wonderful media, you
allowed Lulu to work her magic and because of you, our event was beyond
successful! For Rita, Kay, Wendy and all of you special ladies we are eternally
grateful for your hard work, passion and commitment. And for all of you
beautiful students... you ARE such bright shining lights! You help us all to
remember the reason why we are here! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!! Miracles and magic DID happen and now the because of love... a new playground this summer!!!! HOORAY!!! With much love, Gretchan, Warren, Dylon, Drew and of course LULU! All of the money raised went directly to the The Saint Mary and Joseph's School in Newton Falls for a playground for these wonderful children. The St. Mary and Joseph's school has a wonderful philosophy... That each child is a BEACON OF LIGHT! They teach their children that we can all make a difference in this world no matter how big or small. If ALL of our schools across this great nation of ours would incorporate that very same philosophy, I can only imagine how the world could be changed! Because of their heartfelt attitude, Lulu is going to make a difference in THEIR lives!!! That is the POWER OF LULU! Lulu is my "pay it forward." I believe that we can all make a difference BIG OR SMALL! Click here for photos from this wonderful event!>>>
