It's Friday...time to share a blog! This week I'm featuring Full Bellies, Happy Kids. Sandra is an air force wife with 2 kiddos. She cooks wonderful meals for her family. I'm trying to expand my menu so I love checking out her recipes. The pictures make my mouth water. Go check out her blog and say hello. :)

Share a blog with us. Don't forget to let them know you featured them too. It makes peeps feel good to get some recognition!

Giving Without Spending: Become an Organ Donor

Photobucket


Did you know:

-Almost 100,000 men, women and children currently need life-saving organ transplants?

-Every 12 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list?

-An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant?

-90% of Americans say they support donation, but only 30% know the essential steps to take to be a donor?

If you're not already an organ donor, or want to make sure you are registered as one, go here to get started. Another great site to get information from is Donate Life America. Just look at organ donation as recycling your body parts. :)

The blog I'm choosing for today is Monkeybox authored by the "Junkreator". Why do I like reading her blog? Well, she collects all kinds of things. I collect nothing. So maybe I'm living vicariously through her. hehe I enjoy reading about her shopping trips and viewing pictures of what she has bought to add to her collections. Head over and say hello. Check out her sidebar too. She has lots of pictures of items she has acquired.

Giving Without Spending...Much: Operation PAL

Operation PAL "provides support to injured or ill Marines and Sailors who have previously served in combat zones through prayers and letters from the general public and to encourage support of our wounded military personnel in communities throughout the United States."

You can find a list of names here along with instructions on where to send your cards/letters. At the least, just say a prayer for these brave soldiers.

Giving Without Spending...Much: Sewing for Charity

I really wish I could sew. However, with 2 small children, I don't think my brain could hold any extra information right now and that includes learning how to just thread the sewing machine. Pitiful, I know.

I'm always amazed to read craft blogs and see what sewing folks can produce! I've seen some cute stuff. Well, if you can sew, there are many charities that could use your talent. Go here for an awesome list of them.
