The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can be overwhelming, but we always try to take a step back, and reflect on how thankful we are for what we have. Sure, the girls all get together, and flip through the toy catalogues that come in the mail, circling the toys they want for Christmas. And then comes the wishlists. They get together, and elect Peyton their stenographer (on account of she’s the only one who can write), and get a letter to Santa together.

It’s easy for them (and David and I) to get caught up in the “I want, I want, I want” aspect of the holidays. So we always make an effort to give back. This is so important for us, and we love to involve the girls. In years past, we have worked with our country club or neighborhood to adopt a family in need, and gather gifts for each family member. This year, it was a huge toy and clothes purge that we sent with a friend to a group of women she works with in Kenya.

Huggies is making it easy to give back this holiday season, with their No Baby Unhugged donation program at Meijer. For every pack of Huggies purchased at Meijer through December 23, Huggies and Meijer will donate a day’s worth of diapers and Meijer will donate $1 to the National Diaper Bank Network! Scary fact: One-in-three families (36%) in the U.S. struggle with diaper need, or struggle to provide enough diapers needed to keep their baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. These diapers are going to families who are unable to do so.

We are big fans of Huggies Little Movers and Huggies Snug & Dry. I love that we are giving back to people in need with a purchase we would be making during our weekly Meijer run, anyway. When life gets busy and December seems to be flying by, easy ways to do good are what it’s all about!

And be sure to check out the awesome sweepstakes! There will be 4 winners a week: 2 winners will receive a year’s worth of diapers (in the form of $1,000 gift cards) and 2 winners will receive $500 gift cards. Total 8 grand prize winners of $1000 gift cards and 8 secondary prize winners of $500 gift card.
