Remember when the Grinch’s heart grew three size? That’s what happened when I became a mom. Celebrating all kinds of heart-expanding love MassMutual asked me to share details of its Love is a Gift campaign and tell you how you can help support the Easter Seals just by sharing a photo of your loved ones.
Everyone told me that I would really understand the true meaning of love when I had children of my own, and they were right. When K came into our lives, it was like I suddenly had a purpose — to protect and love my sweet babe.
Then when I was pregnant with her baby sister, I was paranoid that I would never be able to love her the way I loved K. How could I? K was perfect in every way, and my heart seemed so full. How could I make room to love another child as much? But I could, and I did because like the Grinch my heart grew three sizes again.
It’s amazing how much love kids can bring into our lives. Love is a special gift, and I am so thankful to have my loves in my life.

Love Is A Gift
Through its philanthropic social initiative, Love is a Gift, MassMutual invites you to share a photo of your loved one(s) along with a few words about your loved one. For every photo shared on Instagram with the hashtag #LoveIsAGift or uploaded directly to the Love Is A Gift website MassMutual will donate $1 to Easter Seals, up to $50,000.
Note – Instagram accounts must be public in order to trigger the donation. So if you have a private account, you can upload your photo directly to the Love Is A Gift website.
