Too much stuff

As I have been unpacking all of the stuff my kids have accumulated over the years I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the idea of more stuff gifts for Christmas. They don’t need a lot more stuff that just gets thrown in a box and never looked at again.

This year I am trying to be much more intentional and really thinking thru things that I buy.

I have been thinking a lot about ways to get them more involved in giving back. I saw this on my friend Meg’s blog today and plan to show it to Cole. He is really into this kind of stuff. It is so easy to take for granted the food on our table and in our pantry- Meg posted a lot of great ideas on how to give back.

One of my friends in Chapel Hill is involved with a great program called “PORCH” People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill Carrboro Homes- and I keep wondering if it is something that could work here….

Lots of ideas in my head for the new year….

Happy Friday!
