Emily's mission and A Little Something, A Lot of Love was recently highlighted in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Wisconsin Family section in an article titled, "Pregnancy loss is often isolating. These two moms are helping, with gift bags, support groups and empathy."

Amy Schwabe discusses both The Babbling Babes, another local community group focused on empowering moms by planning local gatherings, and Emily's A Little Something. A Lot of Love. 
 

Amy writes, of Landers, "I went home and literally the next morning, I had the idea of creating joyous care packages for moms in the hospital going through pregnancy loss, stillbirth and miscarriage," 

​

Landers, an artist, wanted to personally create the items in the gift bags, also noting that putting her energy into creating art was healing for her as she worked through her grief and sadness."

"The joy bombs, and the individual items contained in them, can be bought through Landers' website, and the funds she raises through those sales pay for Landers' main mission — to supply hospitals with joy bombs to give to people who have a pregnancy loss."

Landers has been surprised by one thing. That going through her loss has given her the chance to speak up about miscarriage in hopes that it helps women feel less alone.  

Schwabe writes,"Now I've become this person who's outspoken about miscarriage and about loss," said Landers. "It's hard to talk about, it's not beautiful to talk about, so I'm trying to be a person out there talking about my emotions and some of the hard stuff so people can feel comfortable doing so too."
