Some ideas to be a giver this season!


My sister sent me this in an email and requested I share it on my blog too.  :)  I think all the ideas are really awesome and would be a big blessing to many.

Tis the Season

Happy December!!!  Since Christmas is a time for giving, I thought I'd share some fun and inexpensive ways to give to others in case you are interested.  Tis the Season for that Christmas spirit!

  • For $1 you can send two books to a classroom in Africa.  In many schoolrooms on the continent, 20 children share one textbook.  BOOKSFORAFRICA.ORG
  • For $2 you can give a set of drumsticks for a low-income public school student learning to play the drums.  LITTLEKIDSROCK.ORG
  • For $3, you can send a high risk youth on a field trip to a museum, concert, or theatrical production.  CREATENOW.ORG
  • For $4 you can give two hours of prepaid phone time for a soldier stationed overseas to call home.  CELLPHONESFORSOLDIERS.COM
  • For $5, you can gift a one-burner kerosene stove for a family that would typically rely on an open fire.  The stove is reusable and less environmentally taxing than the cutting of timber.  FOODFORTHEPOOR.ORG
  • For $6 you can give measles vaccinations to 15 children in a developing country.  DOCTORSWITHOUTBORDERS.ORG
  • For $7 you can give a weeks worth of food for an abandoned dog or cat at a shelter run by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.  ASPCA.ORG
  • For $8 you can provide a medical teaching doll to be used in educating a child about his or her cancer treatment.  STJUDE.ORG
  • For $10 you can send cloth and tools to an Afghan woman so that she can become self sufficient by taking a six-month tailoring course through Creating Hope International and the Afghan Institute for Learning.  GLOBALGIVING.ORG
  • For $10, you can purchase a box of nails that will be used to adapt a disabled veteran's house from Homes for Our Troops, an organization that provides full accessibility to the injured at no cost.  HOMESFOROURTROOPS.ORG
  • For $10, you can buy a day's worth of fresh fruits and vegetables to feed two chimps - most of which have been orphaned by poachers - at the Jane Goodall Institute's Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo.  JANEGOODALL.ORG/OPRAH
  • For $10, you can provide two specialized bottles for babies born with a cleft palate, who otherwise might suffer from malnutrition before receiving corrective surgery.  OPERATIONSMILE.ORG
  • For $11, 11 trees will be planted in Alabama communities devastated by the April 2011 tornadoes.  ARBORDAY.ORG
  • For $12, 20 pounds of multipurpose soap will help keep families germ free around the world.  OXFAMAMERICAUNWRAPPED.COM
  • For $14 two nutritious meals will be delivered by volunteers from Meals on Wheels to a housebound senior citizen.  MOWAA.ORG
  • For $15 you can give a backpack and school supplies to one homeless or low income child.  CRADLESTOCRAYONS.ORG

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair.

Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most
