Walmart gives us moms a lot to do around the holidays, but this assignment is easily my favorite. We each get a $50 gift card that we can use to shop for food or toys to donate to charity. At Walmart, $50 goes a long way. Here’s what I was able to get for the money:
Are you planning to do any giving for the holidays? I’d love to hear about it!
Disclosure: I am a member of the Walmart Moms program. Walmart has provided me with compensation for sharing my FoodSaver experience with you. Participation in this program is voluntary. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
I am a huge fan of TOMS Shoes. If you’ve never heard of them, they are a shoe maker that gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every single pair purchased. So what does that have to do with organic bedding, right?
Well, The Company Store, a 100-year-old manufacturer of bedding and other household textiles, has developed a similar program.
They teamed up with regional non-profit organizations all across the country for their Buy One, Give One program, which donates a comforter to a homeless child for every one sold. And for anyone who doubts the impact this could have, consider these facts: :: READ THE FULL POST
I shared with you a few weeks ago that I am an ambassador for the Macy’s Heart of Haiti campaign. In case you missed that post, Heart of Haiti is a collection of art, housewares and accessories handmade by Haitian artisans in an attempt to help them get back on their feet after the historic earthquake that shook the island nation in January. When you buy one of these pieces, it directly benefits the Haitian artisans who created them. They receive 22% of the retail price for each item in the collection. :: READ THE FULL POST
Today is Green Gift Monday, a day established to help frenzied Cyber Monday shoppers divert their spending toward greener products and causes. I can’t think of a better time to introduce you to the Macy’s Heart of Haiti product line.
Heart of Haiti is a collection of art, housewares and accessories handmade by Haitian artisans in an attempt to help them get back on their feet after the historic earthquake that shook the island nation in January. The earthquake made it virtually impossible for Haitians to make a living. When you buy one of these pieces, it directly benefits the Haitian artisans who created them. They receive 22% of the retail price for each item in the collection. This sustainable income will allow these artisans to repair homes, pay for their children’s schooling, and feed and clothe their families. :: READ THE FULL POST
My husband and I are a little bit addicted to watching survival shows on the Discovery Channel. We’ll sit for hours watching marathons of “Man Woman Wild,” “Man vs. Wild” and our favorite, “Dual Survival.” So what the heck does this have to do with water, right?
Well, if you’ve ever watched one of these shows, you’ll know that the idea is that cast members are left in the middle of nowhere with little, if any, gear to help them survive.
