Vocalpoint presents their new program, Van Full of Cans! Read more:

The team at Vocalpoint is as passionate as you are about giving, so we decided to create an easy way to give back via our new program Van Full of Cans (VFOC). Through VFOC we are donating 1 canned good to our local food bank for every 100 members we have on the Vocalpoint Facebook page and will continue doing so until we reach 1 Million Facebook fans (that is 10,000 cans). Thanks to the 84,600 “likes” we already had on Facebook, we were able to make our first donation of 846 cans. Check out the hilarious and heartwarming video of our experience here.

I love it when a company makes it so easy and fun for people to help out a worth cause. I’ve heard so many stories from people who used to be the ones DONATING to the food banks, and now in this bad economy, they are having to visit those same food banks to get groceries for their family.

There are so many times you hear stories like that and say, “Well, what can I do to help?” Easy peasy pie. If you’d like to help keep little kiddo’s with full bellies, here is how you can help out your local food banks:

If you are a couponer, pick up a few extra freebies each shopping trip, and donate them once a month to your local food bank.
If you are a gardner, plant just a little extra in your vegetable graden this spring. Take what you don’t need to the food bank, or even bring it as a gift to a neighbor that you know is going through tough times. They’ll appreciate it!
If you’re a social media junkie, make sure you tell everyone you can to “like” the Vocalpoint Facebook page. “The more “likes” we have, the bigger the difference we’ll make in the world around us!”

So what are you waiting for? Go on over and “like” their page, and help get them to the goal of donating 10,000 cans of food! And, if Vocalpoint sounds like a cool company to you, make sure to go on over and sign up for their daily emails right now!

Mommy Thoughts…

I just love this quote today from one of my favorite baby freebie sites, Planning Family….

“A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.” -Alan Marshall Beck

So, so true. My little on is only 9 months old, but I can already see this type of adorable yet troublemaking attitude in her. And yes, I’ve seen that look in her eye…. When she’s crawling over to get something she shouldn’t, and sees me coming, her face lights up and she starts crawling just as darn fast as she can to see if she can get there before she gets caught!

One day she is as cute as a little cupcake…

The next day I find her in my room with a ninja sword…

Or laughing as she pulls out Uncle Jamie’s beard…

But I suppose it’s that contrast of the sweetness with the saucy that is what makes her so much fun. I had never, ever thought that I would become a mother, and still feel incredibly overwhelmed and inexperienced with it all. But in between those moments of frustration or exhaustion, she brings me so much sunshine and laughter!

If you like this quote, and want to sign up for the Planning Family emails too, it only takes a minute, and you’ll love it. They send you a weekly email with your babies development, and tips for her at that stage. Plus freebies, coupons, and giveaways. But the weekly quote is one of my favorite parts of the email!
