One of our New Year's Resolutions was to do something to give back to others each month. From the Food Bank of Iowa to the Animal Rescue League, we've done pretty good through the year. It slipped my mind last month, and the month before I did it without Carter's help.
This month, we picked out school supplies for local drives. We took our $50 to Wal-Mart, and Carter got to pick out what she thought other kids would need. In the end, we ended up with about 10 packages of crayons, markers, and glue sticks, 10 rulers and protractors, 20 folders and notebooks. $35 goes a long way when you're buying crayons and glue (we were shy of our $50 mark, which just means more shopping will be in our future!).
Carter, the Do-Gooder! "Helping kids is good for your heart, right Mama?" How do you even begin to teach that?!? Mission accomplished!
