Stumbled across THIS PHOTO! After recently having a babe, I’d love to get into those red pants again.

Hmmmm…the little guy in the batman shirt looks VERY familiar!!!
The kids are the future building blocks of our society and that is why it is very important for us to offer life lessons and fond memories which will be beneficial for them throughout their lives. We should teach and show them things that will help them be responsible and caring citizens of the world.
The question is how can that be done?
Well, there are various ways of doing so and one of the ways is to indulge a kid in the aspect of volunteerism. This way they will learn the need to help others. Most of the time, through hard work it’s nice to see the look on a child’s face when they begin to understand the benefits of assisting someone in need.
It takes the attention off of “ME-ME-ME!” and their little minds go into overdrive with curiosity on every detail of the task at hand. They feel good about helping someone else. That’s why my family’s so grateful for all Marissa Vogel and staff at Little Helping Hands have continuously provided for the Austin community. Little Helping Hands is a great way to get the entire family involved.

Giving Tuesday is fast approaching and as a social media consultant/activist, I’ve been working on different campaigns and realized I needed to speak briefly about it here. Giving Tuesday is a new holiday tradition and is a day to celebrate. “It’s time to “get out the give” and put “giving” into the giving season”. We CAN really make a difference over this holiday season.
I need your help. Any amount of support I can get is paramount and extremely beneficial. One of the best ways to give back is by investing in a Food Allergy-Friendly Food Pantry to feed needy families with allergies here in Central Texas. Interested in donating? Learn more here. Monies donated to the Louise Walker Memorial Fund will directly benefit the food allergy friendly pantry here in Austin.
Join the movement and connect with me on Facebook and Twitter.
Looking forward to another successful #GivingTuesday, Dec. 3, 2013
