Helpful Ways To Get Your Children Involved In Community Service
11/20/18 • 35 min
One of the things that I love to do is community service. I constantly look for ways and opportunities to give back and to organize groups to serve the community. I truly believe that engaging in service is critical to living a full and complete life. Therefore, as my twins get older, I've been asking myself:
What can I do to start to plant the seeds of community service into the hearts of my children?
How can I begin to talk to them about community service?
What is the right age to start to encourage my children to participate in community service and what projects can they work on?
To help me to get the answers to these questions, I invited Marjorie Moore onto the Phenomenal Moms Podcast. Marjorie has 15 years of professional nonprofit organization management experience and has tons of experience helping families find the right service projects for their children.
In this podcast episode we discuss:
- How to find service projects and volunteer partners
- Community service ideas for families with children of all ages
- How to talk to your children about the importance of service
- Life lessons that engaging in service will teach you
- The dos and don’ts when working on a service project
- The surprising things you need to ask about or know before you attend a service project
- How to help your child choose a service project for school community service hours

7 Ways to Find Gratitude Even When It Seems Impossible
Last week was Thanksgiving and November, in general, tends to be a month where we focus on giving thanks.
This is so important because the more you look for gratitude, the more you will find it and then the more you start looking for what is right, then the less you will focus on what is wrong.
Then when you make that shift you will find so much peace and may even see a change in your spending which leads to healthier finances.
But what if you don’t feel like finding gratitude? Then what? How do you find gratitude if you’re going through a lot, money is tight, there is trouble at the job, etc. and gratitude seems out of reach?
Today, we will talk about 7 Ways to Find Gratitude Even When It Seems Impossible.
