I am part of the entourage of "Real Housewives of New Jersey". I have one teengage daughter, Lexi and am married to the love of my life, Tommy. I founded Project Ladybug and am so thrilled to have a Project Ladybug Group in the Butterfly Mom community. Project Ladybug is dedicated to giving back to children with cancer. My goal is to one day open “Ladybug Houses” everywhere so that these children and their families have somewhere safe and comfortable to call home while receiving treatment.

Hi Dina, Mom and I have a story that I am attaching for you that so you can understand why we think your Project Ladybug is wonderful. We had a challenging year last year and have met so many others going through similar situations. However, we have since developed a Company to simply help others with varied needs. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help or volunteer for.
Hi Dina, I think what you are doing is so wonderful. You should be very proud. If there is anything that you ever need, please dont hesitate to ask. I would be more than willing to help in anyway !!!! I am also from No. NJ, and we may share some mutual friends......anyway, thanks for inspiring us to do more!!
Dina - Have been reading a bit about Project Ladybug and am wondering if you have any group started up here in New Hampshire/Massachusetts area yet? I would love to be involved... even from a distance. Please let me know how! All the best. - Marcia

My name is Laura Bolson and I am a member of myworkbutterfly through the "Are You a B-Girl?" organization here in NJ. I am an Independent Representative for Silpada Designs Jewelry (we have a hip line of beautiful sterling silver and semi-precious gemstone jewelry). I am participating in this week's Makeover event and was in contact with one of the owners Terry, who approached me about advertising on her site. So, this morning, I was clicking on the different pictures of members to see who has joined this organization and came across yours!
I was a Cardiac Nurse for 20 years before I started my Silpada business and am passionate about fundraising through my business! I read about your work for Project Ladybug...how wonderful! I actually have a fundraiser next month for a 23 year old Morristown boy who has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant....his Mom was a hostess for my Silpada business and I will be donating 75% of my commission to him and his family.
I would love to see if there was an opportunity for me to do a jewelry fundraiser for Project Ladybug! Feel free to email me@ believeinjewels@aol.com. You can view the jewelry on my website www.mysilpada.com/laura.bolson.
Looking forward to hearing from you Dina!

Hi Dina,
It was a pleasure to meet you last night at the John P. Salamone Memorial dinner, Green Brook Country Club. I bought a Lady Bug bracelet, I love it. I didn't get a picture with you but my friends did. Thank you for your generous donation of a dinner with you and your sister. The winning bidder is very happy too. The event is a tribute to John and he is missed so very much. He has a lot of people that miss and love him. Like your foundation, it helps the children of the community he was a part of to be their best through educational support and college sholarships.
Thank you again and Welcome to Butterfly!

Hello Dina -
I have to say that I love your wedding planning ideas. I studied the field because I love throwing parties and putting baby shower events together.
I know you were planning to put your career on the side in exchange to spend more time with your daughter, I hope that you were able to use your creativity in other ways. Thank you for your wedding visions. BTW...your wedding was gorgeous.
