One of the most important aspects of getting all of our goals accomplished as real estate agents and being moms is planning and scheduling – and by far the toughest. We don’t profess to do it at perfection levels, but our relentless efforts do pay off with a glass of wine and dinner with our families at the end of every day. But, there is something simple to do that can be just as rewarding along the way—giving. This year my family prepared for the New Year and the holidays by cleaning house—gathering forgotten toys, sorting through outgrown clothes and parting with other items that could possible bring a smile to another child’s face. This simple philanthropic effort is the perfect way to teach our children about the importance of giving and a healthy way for them to understand just how fortunate they are, while humbly making make room for new toys. It’s not easy to blend both the business and personal parts of our lives, but ensuring that making charitable donations is a part of both is something we should all resolve to do.
SOME, Sasha Bruce Youth Network and Toys for Tots are just a few of some of the great local places to donate items.
