Owlet Smart Sock Give-A-Way – Meet The Families 

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. In an effort to bring awareness to SIDS and the life of grieving families, we have partnered with the Knox Blocks Foundation to give-a-way TWO Owlet Smart Sock Monitors.

We received 83 applications for our give-a-way. Dan and I reviewed each application individually and then went through them together. Each and every story was unique but we had to select two families to receive the Smart Socks in Toby’s memory. After connecting with both families, who were elated to be chosen, we are happy to tell you a little about our winners.

Our first is the Nassal Family is from Butler, Pa and is getting ready to welcome their third baby in the coming weeks.

Ashley’s sister died from SIDS when she was very young and describes her family as “never the same.” She and her husband relate to having those worries for their own children and expressed how having an Owlet would help to curb some of those fears.


We are happy to be able to provide a tool to help the Nassal family have peace of mind as they get ready to bring home their new baby.

Congratulations, Ashley and Zac, and best wishes for a healthy and safe delivery as your family grows over the next few weeks.

The Allen Family is our second recipient of the Owlet Smart Sock, which was generously donated to our give-a-way by a local Pittsburgh Family.

The Allen’s lost their baby girl, Lyndi, in January due to the chromosomal disorder, Trisomy 13. During their pregnancy with Lyndi they had another family member lose their baby boy to SIDS.

Rachel and Brandon Allen, from Tennessee, are currently expecting and preparing to welcome a new baby in December. They, along with their three other children, are excited for the new arrival, but as grieving parents, the pregnancy brings fears and hesitation.

“I am terrified of losing another one of my children. We have wanted to get an Owlet smart sock to ease our mind once the baby comes, but the budget is tight with 3 other children and a baby on the way.”

The Little Fox is happy to be able to provide the Allen Family with an Owlet Smart Sock so they can have peace of mind when they welcome their new baby in December.

Congratulations, Rachel & Brandon, and best wishes for a healthy and safe delivery over the next few weeks.


Thank you to everyone that submitted an application for the Owlet give-a-way. We thank you for your interest in The Little Fox and for following Toby’s story and supporting our efforts to keep his memory alive.

The Little Fox wishes to thank Knox Blocks Foundation, the local Pittsburgh family who donated the second Smart Sock, and Owlet for creating a piece of technology that helps parents feel a little more protected when they bring home a new baby.

A Tribute To A Great Man

Our family lost a great man this weekend. After nearly 4 years of battling ALS, my Uncle Tommy took his walk into Heaven. Uncle Tommy was a kind and happy individual. He was always smiling and when he laughed, you couldn’t help but laugh with him. He was always one to be doing something – […]

Notes to My Younger Self

I wish I could go back, 10 maybe 15 years, for a lot of reasons, and teach myself a few lessons for the road ahead. Pray more. For others. Pray for people that hurt you. Mentally, emotionally, intently, unintentionally. Just pray. You don’t have to pretend to agree with anyone. You are entitled to your […]

The Path of Transition

I’ve spent the last week swimming in baby items. Most of which were Toby’s. The switch over of the nursery has hit me in waves. I feel joy & love in my heart in places that have been so broken and painful for 25 months, it scares me. Then the pain begins and the tears […]

The memories. The grief. OUR journey.

Today was a hard day. Pregnancy after loss is so hard. There is hope, yes, but the moments that need to happen before a Rainbow arrives are so challenging. I’ve talked before about how Toby’s room has remained the same since the day he died. Today, much of that changed. This is our choice. This […]

Our Final Days

This is the last picture we have as a family of four.   I was forcefully reminded as I started my morning commute today that this is the week I hate. The recurring flashbacks of those final days for our family, of what we thought was a normal week. Crazy mornings trying to get Toby […]
