We started our Christmas break with going to the Giving Machine at the mall. It's such a cool way to donate to people who are in need. The kids each paid for a backpack full of school supplies. And the family donated a goat, some chickens, 100 meals, and 5 menstrual care kits.
We definitely know how impactful education can be for children. I've read about the life-changing effects a goat or some chickens can have for a family. And I've also learned about how life-changing it can be for a girl to receive supplies & education for her menstrual cycle. I love that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is making it so easy for us to help people in this way.
We went to Leatherby's after that, and I quite enjoyed the Taste of Christmas sundae.
The matching sweatshirts that I bought years ago for $1 each is too small for Rockwell now. He never thought it was very cool to match his mom (I didn't buy them for that purpose. I just couldn't pass up $1 sweatshirts and although they were in the boy's section, I thought it was really cute), but Damon asked if he could have it and was so excited for us to wear them on the same day. I wear it all the time, so he had to wait a couple days until I did laundry. But today was the day, and I loved that he was so excited to match me. :)
Great job having your children donate to the giving machines and I'm excited for you that Damon wanted to match with you!
ReplyDeleteI admire how you look for ways to help in causes that you are passionate about Tiff. I love the matching sweatshirt picture.
