Save The Children
Artist Ambassador & Trustee
Save the Children is an organization close to Jennifer’s heart. Save the Children is dedicated to helping children in poverty here in the United States. Jennifer serves as a member of their board and has been named as one of their Artist Ambassadors.
“I think that kids inspire you to do everything you can. You want to a great role model. But you don’t need to be inspired to help other kids. You don’t have to be a mom. You just see other kids in need and you want to reach out to them. It’s just a basic human emotion.”
On 10th June 2021, the fansite world stopped when the news of our dear friend Angie passing away started to spread. While we grieved everyone considered the person that Angie was. She was a woman with a big heart who loved and cared deeply for others.
As a community considered what Angie would have wanted. We decided that Angie would want her fansite to keep living, to go on and to grow. It is my honor to keep doing this with this site, that she loved so much. It is my promise that I will do my best to keep it in the way that Angie would have wanted.
Little girls may be made of sugar, spice, and everything nice, but that won’t stop them from turning a kitchen into a warzone.
It’s a lesson Jennifer Garner learned firsthand when daughters Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2, celebrated Easter in their Sunday best last weekend.
“We had them in these sweet Easter dresses. We dyed eggs, they had chocolate, they painted things and they were just a complete and total disaster,” Garner, 39, told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Frigidaire Stain Games in Glendale.
“I thought, ‘Oops! I should have changed them, put on a smock, covered them up.’ That was not the smartest move on my part.”
Fortunately the mom of two daughters with Ben Affleck has a lax philosophy on just how dirty her girls should get. “I would rather them feel free to be messy … Kids should be empowered to be as messy as they want to be,” she explains.
It’s a message Garner holds especially close to her heart as the ambassador of Frigidaire Goes To Bat For Save The Children.
“It’s so important that we remind ourselves to get up and out with our kids and run them around,” she says. “I have to remind myself [too]. Just yesterday, I realized we’d been sitting inside all day on a gorgeous day. I thought, ‘I just have to get outside. Just go and get to the park. Go out in the dirt and muck and be outside and get fresh air and run around.’”
In addition to keeping her girls healthy through physical activity, the actress promotes healthy eating habits by shopping organic at local farmer’s markets, often with Violet and Seraphina in tow.
“The best way to lead is by example, so I like to eat locally grown foods that are organic,” she says. “I think it’s important that they grow up seeing their parents trying at least to take care of themselves.”
Garner, who says she loves the fun atmosphere of farmer’s markets, also encourages her daughters’ love of healthy foods by getting them involved in the shopping process.
“I feel like kids are more likely to eat [fruits and vegetables] if they have a say in what goes into the basket,” she says. “And there’s nothing better than letting them munch on something raw while they’re walking around the farmer’s market.”
In spite of the inherent mess that comes with being a mom, the job is something Garner takes joy in every day. The best part? “Just having these little people in your life to hang out with,” she says.
