Stop and Smell the Roses: Volume 3

Stop and Smell the Roses

Wednesdays have become less about what color lipstick J. Lo is sporting for the week on American Idol and more about the Fabulous Stop and Smell the Roses link up! I love that this has brought me out from behind my MacBook so that you all can get to know a little bit more about me. Plus, I've met some wonderful new bloggers while stopping to notice the rosy little things along the way!

Today, I'm sharing an organization that has brought extra joy and sunshine into my life. I have been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters for about a year and a half and I have enjoyed every moment since! Growing up, my parents always taught us to give back to those around us and make a difference in our communities. Each of us has it in us to bring joy to others and no effort is ever too small. Being a "big sister" has truly taught me that love equals time. Watch my video below to learn more about my experience with BBBS, why I love having a "little sister", and that as much as I am having a positive impact on her life, she is doing the same thing to mine.



For more information about Big Brothers Big Sisters, visit their website. They have tons of information available and various ways to get involved. There are so many children in our very own communities who just need to be reminded and shown that they are loved. If you're interested in volunteering with a child of your own, click on the "Volunteer" tab at the top. The site will prompt you to plug in your zipcode and you will be taken to your nearest local chapter. There is also a link at the very top of the site that is titled "find your local agency".

Additionally, if you have any questions about my experience personally, send me an e-mail {ninalovesfood@gmail.com). I'm happy to share more details!
