Cute idea.

This is a great idea. I will have to use this with our "Little" from Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.

Thanks much!

Wow, I didn't know you did Big Brother/Big Sisters Sheryl! Brendon and I used to mentor for a local organization that helps children who have at least one parent incarcerated. It was such a rewarding experience. We had to stop when we got different jobs over the summer and then school got busy so we haven't done it in a while, but it was so much fun when we were able to!

We got matched this past April. As you say, it's heartwarming.

Glad you are enjoying it! Maybe you could share stories with us when you have time.

LOL - sorry I didn't elaborate more earlier...I didn't realize the time when I replied and I had to head out the door for an appt. Had to cut it short, LOL Ooops.

Yes, we were matched with our Little Kimberlee last April. She's 9 and is a sweet girl. We've done activities from fishing, river play, shopping, eating out, and I think our favorite is going to the movies. Our next play day I was already planning on a craft day to make pine cone bird feeders. But depending on the weather I might change it to the poem paperbag.

Thanks again for the idea!
