Rainbow Loom bracelets are all the craze. Children of all ages are sporting colorful bracelets, necklaces, and rings made of small rubber bands. These unique pieces of jewelry can be found in our house. MaKenna bought a loom months ago and she started making bracelets of her own. I am actually wearing an orange, red,… Continue reading A Rainbow Loom of Good

We are Blessed with Things to Give
We live blessed lives. We often forget it. As people, we get caught up in what possessions we have, the money we've earned, and the things that we want. Our eyes become laser focused on things that cloud our minds and the true treasures in life sit quietly in the shadows while we strive for… Continue reading We are Blessed with Things to Give
A Life-Changing Year
Another calendar year has passed. It was a year that saw year 2 of our project come to an end and year 3 begin. Over the 52 week period we worked with 45 new nonprofit organizations and causes. Each and every week the experiences were new, eye-opening, heart-warming, and life-changing. We met unbelievable people who… Continue reading A Life-Changing Year
Day 12: Take Time To Read
I always love going into an elementary classroom and connecting with young people. I have been doing it monthly for years and it is always a great experience.

Day 4: Thank You
Thank you. Two simple words that, when put together, are very powerful. Two words that are taken for granted, forgotten, and often unsaid. Life gets busy and we are always in a hurry. We fail to pause a moment to share our appreciation and our gratitude with others. Today, we wanted to focus on saying… Continue reading Day 4: Thank You
Day 2: Clothing Donation
Day 2 of the 25 Days of Giving was called Clothing Donation. We dug through our closets and emptied out our dresser drawers to find those clothes that we could give to someone who needs it. We made two separate donations. First, we dropped off clothes for Forgotten Children Worldwide at one of their local… Continue reading Day 2: Clothing Donation
Hunger And Homelessness Awareness Week
"Getting up at 5am is never easy, especially on the weekend. Those are the days that I actually get to sleep in because there is no school. But as a member of this family, the Brown family, I am willing to make a sacrifice in order to volunteer. We were up early to serve the… Continue reading Hunger And Homelessness Awareness Week
Grab A Rake And Get Busy
Our communities are filled with individuals who need help. Physical disabilities, finances, and personal hardships keep them from completing tasks that you and I take for granted. In some instances they have no family and in other situations they have family that cannot, or will not, help. Where do they turn for assistance? How do… Continue reading Grab A Rake And Get Busy
