I’m thrilled to be involved with a great project this week – Kiwi Crate’s Summer of Giving!

From July 16^th – 22^nd, I’ve teamed up with a dozen amazing Kid Bloggers to share this opportunitiy – for each new subscription ordered this week, Kiwi will donate one crate full of arts, crafts, and science activities to St. Jude’s Research Hosptial for each crate that is purchased.

Our goal is to donate 100 crates to the kids at St. Jude’s this week!

Below is a review of a Kiwi Crate along with details on how you can learn more about donations during the Summer of Giving.
