On the day after Thanksgiving, StoryCorps—a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving oral history—asks everyone to take a few minutes to record an interview with a loved one. Listen to stories. Share stories.
This year, we celebrate the National Day of Listening on Friday, November 23, 2012.
This is where my heart is. I recently learned about #GivingTuesday™ and love their mission: To create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.

Families can visit handsomely decorated mansions, enjoy music concerts, meet Santa Claus or even do Christmas eve chores on the farm. A cartoon rooster named Rhody the Rambler serves as the program’s ambassador.

So what do we do with all the candy collected? Over the year’s we have gathered numerous ideas from other parent’s on how they handle the candy overload.
Kids love Halloween (and so do their parents), but it can be a bit tricky navigating all the events out there. We’re lucky here in Rhode Island some truly wonderful, family-friendly events that are not about being scary and only eating candy but are all about the costumes, pumpkins, parades, friends, and fun activities.
