Mom it Forward



Brighton and I did a service project at the Christmas Box House last Saturday that was really fun, and was a great experience! I have recently joined a group called Mom it Forward. They are a great group of mom's dedicated to improving the lives of others. I really wanted to do something to give back and this group has some great ideas, and projects. At the Christmas Box house we decorated a tree with spring Ornaments. When children enter the Christmas Box House, the first thing they see is a large Christmas tree surrounded by teddy bears and all kinds of stuff animals. Decorated each month by a different organization and based on a theme fitting the month, the Christmas tree is a welcome surprise for these children. The gift for them? A safe place to live and a brand new stuffed animal to keep them company during their stay! Marie from Make and Takes partnered with Mom It Forward to decorate the April tree. It was a great experience to have with Brighton and way to give back to our community. Thanks Jyl and Marie for making it happen. If you are interested check out their website.
