Through various blogs that I follow I found the 30 Day Giving Challenge! We should be thoughtful all year long, however this challenge will definitely get us in the spirit of Thanksgiving! Anybody can give and there are SO many ways that you can give! Whether you are helping a stranger or a friend or giving your time or money...you can give! I look forward to involving my little guys to help teach them about giving and sharing love! :)
So we have a lot to be thankful for! I missed last week's post because we were trying to get back into the swing of life after Toddler Veg was admitted to the hospital with asthma for 2 nights. So we are working to get a grip on having a 18 month old with asthma. During that time I was amazed at how much time, love and other 'stuff' our family GAVE to us. Friends watched Preschool Veg while we were at the hospital, family drove through the night to be with us. Just amazing! So in the spirit of giving we have been making "Have a great day" signs and putting them in our neighbors mailboxes! We have also made some donations to the local food pantry! I have organized my children's clothes and toys and made donations in that area as well. I am hoping that somebody will benefit this holiday season! My kids seem to enjoy the extra giving! Let's keep it going!
