I was so happy to be a part of the Mom It Forward with Make and Takes service project held in Utah last week. Families came to craft with their kids, all to help out kids in need!
We decorated a Christmas Tree at the Christmas Box House, a home for children to stay in between foster care. We decorated the “April” tree for the house, the first thing each child sees as they enter their new home. I was proud to be a part of giving back, making someone else’s stay a little brighter.
I loved seeing what crafty things everyone came up with. There were lots of bunnies, chicks, and spring flowers created for the tree. What a fun opportunity to help in this service project, crafting for a cause.
Speaking of Mom it Forward, I love their Mission and applaud them for their efforts. Going on right now, they are helping to raise money for women in Kenya. They’d love for you to learn more and help in this fundraising effort. I’ve even added a ‘chip in’ button on my side bar where you can donate with a click of a button. Watch for a nationwide fundraising event happening on April 18th. See Mom It Forward for details on how to help in your area.

First the Nashville Rescue Mission and then the Christmas Box House. Where will we serve together next, Marie, Paris (wishful thinking)? ;) Thanks so much for sponsoring this service project with us. I loved having Make and Takes lead the craft making portion. The kids had such a great time and I know the charity really appreciated our efforts. Plus, how can you look at the pic of all the cute crafts the kids made using their creativity and not be happy :). What a great day! Thanks!!!
One of these days Parker is going to be healthy enough to take part in these kinds of activities. Such a grand time for such a great cause.
