Pin It Up!


Who doesn't like to have the hard work done for them? For that very reason, I've made a list of service ideas for you! Lot's of lists actually, such as service for:

  • animals
  • the elderly
  • teens
  • holidays
  • groups
  • parties
  • random acts of service
Check out my Kids Learning Service Pinterest board to find links to some amazing service ideas for kids. (I can't take credit for the ideas, other than I put them in one spot, for which you're welcome)

    I certainly do not like having the hard things done for me... Everyone expects us k9's to be in shape and motivate. Dad may lead me to treadmill but I am the one that says on for hours at a time. However.... being able to serve those around me brings me great pleasure, some times the hardest things for us are the things that we need the most help with. Like being happy or having a friend.. I love your lists!

      Thanks, Rufus! You might be interested in this - we might get the chance to visit a puppy truck! It's actually a nice, safe truck they transport puppies on to their new trainers. After the program they get to be guide dogs for a special person. If it works out I'll post all about it!

They've Got My Back

This is a cool article from the Parents Magazine blog that talks about benefits for children when they serve, as well as gives some ideas for serving. Thought I'd share. Also I thought I'd share a picture of my "baby" when we made and handed out burritos with the Burrito Project  (this one is in Salt Lake City, but the organization is found throughout the U.S.) to people who are homeless. She didn't want to get out of the car to hand them out, but since I wasn't about to leave her alone in the car across the street from the city bus depot, I made her come along. She did great and even commented on how grateful the people that we gave the burritos to were.     Volunteer With Your Kids     https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/style/volunteer-with-your-kids/

The BIG Question!

I'm a mom. I've stood in the checkout line with kids having meltdowns, trying to stop the cart in the aisles, refusing to go somewhere, let alone do service, and have carried a toddler and a heavy box of food from the Food Bank one flight at a time because I wanted to teach my kids to serve. So why do we do all of this? Because of who our kids (and even us adults) can become. It also can help who they (and we) are today: health, happiness, and skill-wise. After I've convinced you with all of the good reasons below, visit my Pinterest page for kid-friendly ideas, or comment below with what kind of service you're looking for and I'll brainstorm for you. https://infographicjournal.com/5-benefits-of-volunteering/
