8th Broken Bone…can you believe it?

We (still) know your pain.  My daughter and inspiration for CastCoverz! (her 6th broken bone was our lightbulb moment!), just broke her 8th broken bone(s).  She’s only 13 and I’m praying that the number of breaks never catch up to her age.  You can bet she’ll be sporting some special cast covers and/or Bootz!

Real Housewife of Orange County (RHOC) Star LOVES CastCoverz!

I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of the Real Housewives of Orange County.  When Peggy Tanous, a real OC housewife and super mom, became a fan of CastCoverz! I couldn’t wait to share the newz!!

Unfortunately, Peggy’s adorable 3 year old, London, broke her arm and had to have surgery! OUCH!  Knowing their pain (my daughter has had 7 broken bones!), I rushed a CastCoverz! care package that included arm cast covers and a fashion cast arm sling.

CastCoverz! care package included:
London was so fashionable in her Wild at Heart Sling (see above) with matching Cheetah Girl Itty Bitty cast cover.  She loved her Cupcake Cuties and Happy Hearts Itty Bitty fashion cast covers, too.   For total comfort and relief, we also included a DryPro, a CastCooler, and a teeny tiny “Member of the Broken Bones Club!” t-shirt!

Peggy said on her Facebook page, “Thank you for your kindness and support.  The cast sleeves made it all OK for London!!!! You have GREAT products!!!”

Big HugZ!
Thank you, Peggy and London!
