Do Something Good - Trick or Treat For UNICEF

I believe that as we receive, we should also give.

I want to teach my children, especially around holidays that when they are receiving gifts or special attention, that we should think of how to help others who might not be as fortunate.

Around Thanksgiving time, a time of plenty in our home, I often would go serve at a homeless shelter or pass out sandwiches on the street.  

It reminded me to be thankful for all I had, even when that wasn't a lot.

I encourage you to start a tradition of giving with your family this holiday, no not Thanksgiving or Christmas.......why not start with Halloween!?
