    Giving Assistant – On Line Shopping Is Fun Again

    February 12, 2016 /

    Giving Assistant makes online shopping fun again. Remember when online shopping was exciting? Remember finding awesome deals and great coupon codes and thinking, “I am a shopping master!” These days, online shopping can be more of a hassle than anything else. With Giving Assistant, online shopping is back in all its glory. Giving Assistant – How It’s Bringing the Fun Back One of the most frustrating parts of online shopping is finding promo codes. Well, that’s not exactly true. You can find promo codes all day long, but will those codes work? That’s the big question. The answer is: who knows? Certainly not us. We have to go through the entire…

    If you hang around here often then you know that I like to share printables around special occasions. With Mother’s Day coming up I figured it would be a great time to share some love through a Mother’s Day Word Search. Dads: print this off and your kids can do them with Mom, or they can do this Mother’s Day Word Search when you are making Mom breakfast in bed. What are you doing this Mother’s Day? I suspect my day will be relaxing. Or, I hope, my day will be relaxing. I need a small break and I really need a day off of work right about now. In the event…

    The Most Meaningful Mothers Day Gifts #WorldVisionGifts

    April 27, 2015 /

    Mother’s Day is not a day I take lightly. I am a Mom because of a gift from someone brave and caring. Two different birth Moms gave us the gift of both of our girls. We are adoptive parents and might never have been parents without someone else’s sacrifice and brilliant gift. I am always mindful of that. My parenting experience started with a gift. The most precious gift of all. My own journey to parenthood very much reminds me of the power of the local and the global community. Each one of us depend ends on others for so many things. This year I am also very mindful of someone…

    These are My Weapons Against Child Poverty #WorldVisionGifts #TMMWVC

    December 24, 2014 /

    There is a saying in martial arts that my kids repeat over and over each time they grade. My husband knows it too. I am paraphrasing a bit but it’s a little like this – I come to you with empty hands. If I should be forced to use them. These are my weapons: my empty hands. It’s the end of 2014 and so everyone is wrapping up their year with little red bows and packaging it away to start fresh on January 1st. There is beauty and peace in that. We are building our resolutions, hopes and plans. We are collectively hopeful on January 1st each year and it…

    Five Facts About the World Vision Gift Catalogue 2014 #WorldVisionGifts

    November 19, 2014 /

      By now you know that gifts from the World Vision gift catalogue 2014 matter. They matter to children like these girls who are able to attend school in Colombia thanks to sponsorship and often thanks to donations from the gift catalogue. They matter to the boys in this picture playing soccer and building a healthy outlook for life in an area where drugs, gangs and poverty are very real threats to children. They matter to children you might never meet all over the world in so many countries that need help. Tonight on twitter, we are talking about the impact of giving with heart from the World Vision gift catalogue,…

    World Vision Canada Christmas Gifts – Party RSVP November 19 at 8 p.m. EST

    November 13, 2014 /

    Many of you who are regular readers here know that this September I travelled with World Vision Canada to Colombia. While I was there for the better part of a week I toured many of the area development programs where the work of volunteers and staff at World Vision Canada is changing lives. The experience was life altering and heartbreaking all at once. I saw children who had grown up with World Vision Canada sponsorship and become leaders in their communities. I recently wrote about Johan Espinosa who impressed me so because he has spent his life working with World Vision and has inspired others to do the same. It was an…

    My Traditional Christmas Gift Guide 2014 #TMMGG2014

    November 7, 2014 /

    Several weeks ago I announced my Gifts with Heart gift guide here on Thrifty Momma’s Tips. That Christmas gift guide 2014 is meant exclusively this year for gifts that give back to the world, or the community. Right now that means that it is dominated by World Vision Canada gifts. A gift from the catalogue there gives back to children and families living in poverty around the world. I have launched that guide and asked all my personal friends and family members to buy things such as artisan gifts from the World Vision gift catalogue. Many of my friends have informed me they are already doing that. Margarita Ibbott has picked…
