Friday Favorites: Camp Week, Thanksgiving Table Decor & Operation Christmas Child

Camp Week

At the last minute I started to worry that I didn’t have enough warm pants. So I ran to Target and got these Velour Lined Leggings. Oh my goodness, I tried these on and they are heavenly! You can not beat the price. I’ll let you know if they truly keep me warm in the snow and cold!

Operation Christmas Child

Last year, I mentioned Operation Christmas Child , an awesome opportunity to give to others at the holidays. I received so much positive feedback and questions about Operation Christmas Child that I wanted to bring it up again! You simply fill a shoe box with children’s toys and toiletries and then find a donation center to drop off the box. These boxes get sent all over the world to children in need. Check here to see locations near you!

There are only a few days left to participate in the National Collection Week (which ends November 19th). But you still have time so I highly encourage you to participate! Gather up a few shoeboxes and go to the Samaritan’s Purse website to get all the details on how to fill your box! You designate the box for a boy or a girl and also what age range.  Each of my kids love filling up one of these boxes with items for someone similar in age to themselves.

We picked up boxes at our local Chick-fil-a. My local store has these last weekend but they are no longer available.

It is one of our favorite activities at the holidays. I like that it is something the kids can really understand because they are helping pick out the items that go inside these boxes. One of the best parts of the service project is finding out where your box ends up. If you donate $9 online, you will receive a tracking label to follow your box! How neat is that?!
