We’re so pleased with the results of practice giving with your family: #blog4causethe #blog4cause campaign, and we’re only on week three.

At this point, we have talked with, tweeted with, facebooked with, pinned with, Instagrammed with, and tweeted with tons of friends who have been wildly inspired by how parents are teaching their kids about giving this holiday season.

This week, our hope for you is that you are as inspired by the generosity of others as we have been.

Here’s the skinny. . .

  • #blog4cause–Be Inspired by the Generosity of Others: This week, we’ve been tweeting up a storm about the #blog4cause awesome

 

#blog4cause: be inspired by the generosity of others

 

We’ve been pinning the #blog4cause awesome:

 

#blog4cause: be inspired by the generosity of others

And the #blog4cause generosity is adding up:

  • over 40 hours dedicated to giving;
  • over $800 raised for charity;
  • over 80 items of food;
  • over 40 books or supplies;
  • over 35 boxes filled for Operation Child;
  • time spent volunteering in a food bank and miles pounded on the pavement for a cause.

 Please join us in inspiring others by sharing the ways you are teaching your family about giving this holiday season.

Check back on the initial #blog4cause post to get the whole deal, but essentially, we’re sharing the ways we’re giving back to the community–local or larger–in any way that works for your family.   Little hands can make a big difference.

Please look at each of the links below for ideas and inspiration, follow our pins, tweets, and posts each week, or read Lynne Ticknor’s article, Share Your Thoughts: The Gift of Giving, over on Mom’s Homeroom. Happy giving!

fyi: This blog post is part of an incentivized online influencer network for Mom’s Homeroom. Mom’s Homeroom is brought to you by Frosted Mini-Wheats.

    That’s so touching! Of course any help makes a difference, that’s what all of us should learn – sometimes we don’t do sth as it “wouldn’t even matter” and that’s exactly this kind of thinking we need to change!

    I was so happy to participate in Operaton Christmas Child this year. I think it will be a new family tradition.

Hello, Teacher Wish List.

You are welcome here. In fact, we are incredibly glad that you’ve made your way into our culture.

You’re like the Wedding Registry or Baby Registry–but better. 

You are a dream because you are the list that gives and gives and gives. You’re not full of weird kitchen appliances or ugly China patterns or tiny baby Air Jordans. You are made of books, pens, pencils, journals, math manipulatives, bulletin board letters, lab goggles, staplers, and hole punchers.

You are helping to equip and educate the youth of the world and are taking a tiny bit of stress off of the shoulders of our educators. And we all know that our educators–especially in the last few years–have been stretched to the absolute max. They are tired, worn down, and stepped on. They’re pushed and pulled every which way and are expected to do the job of 27 different people.

What an amazing thing you are, you little Classroom Wish List! Just a simple Amazon Wish List, you let us all feel like we are helping in a teeny way, and we thank you.

We hope you never, ever leave and that you’re here to stay.

Sincerely,

Everyone
