191 Lisa Kalberer // The Giving Manger & Loving Well

Allison Hottinger

Today's guests are Sisters Allison Hottinger and Lisa Kalberer, creators of The Giving Manger, a faith-based interactive family activity that encourages acts of kindness, focuses on the joy of giving, and highlights the real reason for Christmas: Jesus' birth! In this episode of the 5 to 8 shift, Allison and Lisa share their story of creating a tiny wooden manger - first made for family and friends - that grew into the widely loved product it is today. These amazing mamas give us the fun backstory behind The Giving Manger, which started as a Kickstarter campaign! They tell us about building The Giving Manger, growing their business, and their passion to help families keep the focus on Jesus during the holiday season. Allison and Lisa are so fun and you will love hearing their story on this episode! And as a parent, you are going to love how the Giving Manger can transform your family throughout the holiday season by shifting the focus to giving rather than receiving. As a family that owns and loves the Giving Manger - I can't recommend it enough! Here's how it works - pick a day and set out the tiny manger, whenever the kids do something kind for someone else - open a door for an elderly person, help clean up the playroom, hang up coats without being asked - they get to put a piece of hay in the manger. Each act of kindness = one piece of straw. The manger gets filled with hay until it's ready for Baby Jesus on Christmas Day - or any day you decide! Your family will love it as much as mine does.
