It’s probably no surprise that I love the honest, funny and always truthful blog, Scary Mommy. For those of you who know me and/or have come to know me via Mommybites, you know that I love to laugh (with such wild abandon that I often slap the knees of the people around me in pure delight), and that I am a huge advocate of non-judgmental views on differing parenting preferences. So, it’s no wonder that I love Scary Mommy, which was started 6 years ago by the hysterical and gifted Jill Smokler, and is now an “on-site confessional where moms can anonymously share whatever is on their minds in a judgment free environment.”
Just when I thought I could not love this site any more than I already do, I learned about their Thanksgiving Project, which brings the advice given by Mother Teresa to fruition: “If you can’t feed 100 people, then feed just one.” With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, I thought I would share the link and information on this incredible project. In a nutshell, it anonymously connects families who otherwise would not be able to afford a Thanksgiving meal with volunteer monetary donors.
Here’s a quote from a past Scary Mommy Recipient:
“We weren’t planning on having a Thanksgiving dinner at all in 2011, so when I was able to receive help, I felt like I’d won the lottery. I cried tears of joy ripping into the envelope and vowed at that moment to pay it forward. This year, I have a job, have paid down debt and am able to contribute to someone else’s meal. Doing that was one of the proudest moments of my life.”
