Well folks, it is no lie that my household has been turned
upside down, backwards, and well just plain messed up over this past year. However, with all that has happened in my
life it has made me think harder about what is important in life. Not to toot my own horn, but I have always
had a passion for charity, heck that is why I started Adventures Among Us in a
roundabout way, to give back to those who needed knowledge and ideas of cool
things to do as a family.
Anyways with our boat rocking, or some days sinking, the
kids and I have become more grateful for the things that we do have. No matter where we are in life, there is
always someone that has less than us, and while our world was upside down there
are others that did not have shoes to put on their feet, food to feed their
children, and many other basic needs that we are well blessed with.
My first real HOLIDAY post of the season is a focused on
places that GIVE BACK to the communities around them. While my kiddos have a Christmas list longer
than the San Francisco Bay Bridge (which I must disclose will be narrowed down
greatly) we also have a list of places that help those with a list of
needs!
