First, I read through the list of charities that currently have the BBB National Charity Seal, just to feel confident that we are giving to legit organizations. Then, I looked through pictures I've taken of my kids in 2011 and tried to match the pictures up with charities. I was able to edit the huge list down to three charities per kid to choose from. And I even found one for our cousin Henrietta!
Here's the 10 charities that connect with my kid's 2011 memories.
You're going to love the pictures I found from my archives! Some of my favorites of the year!
I hope it makes them feel a bond with the charity they choose and the people they are helping.
How do you help your kids learn about giving this time of year?
Great idea! Will have to remember this for when I have kids. : )

ReplyDeleteSharon this rocks. What a way to help your kids get into the spirit of the season in their own way! This is a MUST DO for me and my future little ones. I also loved reading about your kids' experiences this year.

That means you need to adapt and always have a seesaw year with an off season in
sales but that's how it is in the new hype of Internet student loan people? Sure, you can set up a site that is customized for navigation by someone who is totally out of shape.
