by: Kristen Mason  Thetruth is we don’t all live in on tree-lined streets with white picket fences. These are the types of communities that movies portray as perfect andsafe. |
What type of community do you want to live in? I assumeit’s one where you know your neighbors or it’s similar to the type you grew upin.
I gleaned ideas from some of my friends to see what they’re doing tobring the community they want to their neighborhood. I love howintentional each of these women are!
Laura invited over the bus stop crew for pancakes on the last dayof school.
Kerry coordinated a community yard sale and bake sale to raisefunds for a family in need.
Stacy invited rising Kindergarten parents in her neighborhood overto her house for a potluck dinner. This was after a meet-up at the schoolplayground (neutral territory).
Amy is working with two other neighborhood moms to host an end ofthe school year bash.
Casey hosted a Fourth of July celebration last year with a bikeparade (loved it!) This year she’s projecting movies on her garage door.
My parent’s neighborhood has a monthly Trike Night and HalloweenParade (we crashed it
last year!)We invited our neighbors over for an Easter Egg Hunt. The boysplanned it, had a budget, and I made a cake. Fun and simple.
