As you can imagine, having three children in travel sports and a traveling choir can get pricey. However, I have found ways to help pay for our children's hobbies that keep us from going broke.
As grown ups, we can do a little better here. We can teach our children to be kind, to make other people a priority. We can teach our children about why we have birthday parties -- not to entertain each other or to impress each other -- but to celebrate and honor one another. We can use birthday parties to teach about hospitality and gratitude.
Once we whittled the pile down to a sensible amount, the kids accompanied me to a women’s shelter to deliver the excess toys. We toured the facility, and the boys got their first glimpse of what life looks like for some. I used it as a teaching moment about how lucky we are, and how we have an obligation to give back to people who are not as fortunate.
At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: The cheapest electricity plan.
