Want me to let you in on a little secret??
I have not had a hair cut / style in I do not know how long.  I know it was before I knew I was having Savannah, but I do not know exactly when it was.  Most days, my hair just gets thrown back in a pony tail, but at times I do flatten it or at least try to do something to it.  I have been lucky to have been sent the Tea Tree Collection from Paul Mitchell and let me tell you, it is like a special treat for this new mama!   The scent, the feel, amazing!   I know I said I don't do anything with my hair, but you want to know why I try and take care of it?  I grow it out and donate it.  To me, it is just hair... To others it is so much more.  That is one way I try and give back, by giving my hair to those that for some reason or another no longer have the hair they once did. ( I have recently learned of a new company that I am doing research on to see if they might be the ones that gets this next batch of hair!)

Okay, so I have shared how I give...  Now let me tell you how Marc and Broxton are giving this year.   The last couple weeks have had at least one person in the house sick.  That means that we have had time to go through closets and toys...  I was excited when Marc went through and pulled out tons of long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, pullover type jackets and more.  The great thing?  I had just seen a tweet from the local homeless shelter looking for such items!   I know it is a small thing, but it is one way to give to those that are in need this holiday season, add to it that it is a great way to lead by example to our son!  Broxton went through and donated toys that he no longer plays with and that will also be going to one of the shelters for the kids to play with.  I know it is the holidays and more people seem to give, or at least it is brought to the attention of others more frequently at this time of the year...   So let me know... What do you do to give???  (Make sure to keep reading to see how you can give in more than one way, thanks to Paul Mitchell!)
