Give Back with Hershey’s Better Basket

Remember when I said that I loved Easter?  Honestly, it takes everything within me not to buy Easter candy every single time I go to the store!  Well, I am so excited that my love for all things Easter has led me to a way that I can give back this year!!!

This Easter, Hershey’s is partnering with bloggers to donate $5000 to the Children’s Miracle Network!  I will give you a little history here, I’ve always been a big supporter of CMN.  In college I participated in and organized a fund raiser (Dance Marathon) to raise money for our local CMN.  It is a fabulous organization helping children’s hospitals around the country.  So, YAY for Hershey’s continued support of CMN!

Here is what Hershey’s is doing:  Hershey is hosting a blog hop this Easter season and, for each blog that participates, Hershey’s will donate $10 to CMN. How can you help?  Easy! Spread the word about the blog hop through writing a blog post (including the rules below) and passing on virtual Easter baskets to your friends, encouraging them to participate!

Here is who I am sending my virtual baskets to:

Katie from A Listmaker’s Life

Jodi from Jodimichelle

Jill from The Diaper Diaries

Kelli from Dykstra Blog

Heather from Autumn At Oak Hollow

Colleen from Mommie Daze

Cat from 3 Kids and Us

Jo-Lynne from Musings of a Housewife

If you read this and would like to join in the fun please let me know!  I’d love to add you to the list!  Really, it’s as simple as just writing a post!

Here is the info to include in your blog post:
