Kohls: Pay It Forward Shop

Nov
23
2012

I will be doing a complete post in the near future – but I wanted to share my experience shopping for a family in need with Kohls. Kohls sent me a $250 Gift Card to shop for a family in need this holiday season.

Their is a local family’s story who broke my heart.  Laura and her two small children, 3 and 9 months, lost their loving husband/father Chris, after a 6 month battle with cancer. I can’t imagine starting the year with the birth of a baby and ending it with burying my husband. My heart aches for Laura.

When Laura was asked what she wanted for herself – she said nothing. She mentioned the only thing was making a full pot of coffee was hard each day.  She would drink the coffee with her husband – now she only needs one cup.

There story is sad, but I am so thrilled that Kohl’s was so generous to offer this gift card. 

Of course, being a super ninja shopper like I am, I decided to shop today, in my pajamas, online!  First, well the deals are great! Second, there was a coupon code to save even more AND I earned  $30 in Kohls Cash.  I was able to get Laura a single cup coffee maker, plus toys for the kids. I decided to get her a regular coffee maker, instead of a Keurig (even though the Kohl’s Keurig deals are amazing), because of the increased cost with Kcups.

I still have $100 left on the gift card to shop in the store AND I have $30 in Kohls Cash – really stretching the dollars.  Here is what I got so far:

I was so excited, I just couldn’t wait to share.  I am super excited about the coffee-pot and the fisher price toys!  Check back to see what I end up with for Laura & her family.  In the meantime, I will be posting more great Kohl’s deals and a HUGE THANK YOU TO KOHLS FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE.

Free Jesse Tree Printables

Free Jesse Tree Printables

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, many of us forget the true reason of this season. I love this idea – simply to bring us back to the meaning of the Christmas Holiday.

A Jesse Tree is an advent project. Each day you color an ornament that represents a bit of the lineage of Christ. The tree begins with creation and stretches through the Old and New Testaments until we reach the wonderful story of the birth of Jesus.

The Jesse Tree project takes place December 1 through 25. It’s similar to an advent calendar, but it’s more about tracing the history of the coming of Jesus.

For this particular set of ornaments, you’ll need to cut 25 squares (3 inches x 3 inches) that can be used as backers for the coloring ornaments. These backers could be made from cardstock or scrapbook paper. Print the ornaments found in this document.

Each day read the scripture and color the corresponding ornament picture. Cut out the picture, and attach it to one of the square backers that you cut. Punch a little hole in the backer paper, and thread a ribbon through it. Hang your ornaments on a small tree, some branches in a vase, or whatever works for you. There’s no right or wrong way to do it.
