Back To School with Purpose Campaign

I had the privilege of participating in the Dayspring Back to School with Purpose Campaign and was able to donate two bags full of school supplies. For me that is part of going back to school with purpose. Helping those around you who need help adds purpose to going back to school, it is the right thing to do and I am so glad my kids got to participate in the donation process. I want to make sure that even at an early age my kids understand the importance of helping those in need. I also wanted to recognize a few other bloggers who I feel Live with Purpose:

Andrea at Momma in FlipFlops 2

Sharon at The Bird’s Nest

Kate at Momopoly

Mindy at Mommies with Cents

ShooShoos Free Shoes Contest

ShooShoos, my absolute favorite brand of baby shoes, is hosting a fun contest during the month of June. Email a photo of your little cutie in their ShooShoos to photos@shooshoos.com and you will be entered to win 1 of 5 pairs of free shoes. Open to US and Canada residents, ends June 30, 2010. Don’t own any ShooShoos? I highly suggest you buy a pair, I prefer them over Robeez and Bobux, all my girls have worn them, plus they have the most ADORABLE designs.

In the spirit of disclosure I am currently working with ShooShoos to help them gain more exposure in the US, but even if I wasn’t I do think they are the best shoes and prefer them above all others. Check reviews I have done in the past to see how I have always loved these shoes!
