My friend Kimmer has been here since Thursday and we have been having so much fun…I haven’t been able to post. But I’m back and I have a challenge for all of you…so, listen up!<\/p>\n
I had been trying to figure out a way to do some sort of volunteering or becoming involved in something that would set a good example for Emma and help her on the road to becoming a charitable and concerned citizen of the world. A favorite blogger of mine, Beth<\/a>, offered up this challenge to all of her readers and it was exactly what I had been looking for, so I accepted the challenge. I hope you will as well.<\/p>\n Beth is calling it “Small Change” and it is essentially just doing one thing a month for a child other than your own. Our task this month (before the 14th of February) is below. I will post our contribution by the end of the week, we are still working on which child (or children!) we are going to send something to.<\/p>\n Monthly Challenge <\/strong><\/span> What a cool way to make a difference, huh? And you know, it is for kids!<\/p>\n Hop to it…and send me an email or pictures of anything you might do if you accept the challenge so I can post them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My friend Kimmer has been here since Thursday and we have been having so much fun…I haven’t been able to post.

\nThis month\u2019s challenge is to send a get-well card to a sick kid. You can buy a card, make a card, sit your kids down with a pile of construction paper and crayons and glitter glue and put them to work, whatever. You can do this really easily through Make a Child Smile<\/a>. Think you can do a little more? Send a gift instead of a card. Or, check out your local Children\u2019s Hospital (you can search by state and get links to websites here<\/a>) and find out if they take cards or gifts for the kids.
