The hard facts are that the winter months are tough on food banks' stores. That is reason enough for any of us who can, to cull our pantries to make a healthy donations. But there is another reason for parents; it's an opportunity to have a discussion with our children…

... about the importance of giving and appreciating what we have. And what better way to do that than through a little art project?

Helen and her twin girls did just that. They attached darling, uplifting, drawings to their donation items in hopes of giving a bit of encouragement to the recipient families. At the same time Helen wanted to show her girls about the love of giving. Pop over to Curly Birds for a few tips on how to get this project underway in your household.
