Why I'm choosing to give:
I really want to support my friend Cami who started 29-Day Giving but I also feel that by choosing to give something every day, it will help me focus on the positive in life.
What I'd most like to receive:
I'm not really looking to receive anything other than a sense of well-being.

About me:
I am the mother of two beautiful children -- a 5-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl. My husband and I own a boutique wine business in Sonoma County. If I had more time, I'd be a painter but for now I get to find artists to showcase their work on our wine labels.

Day 29

Posted on September 25, 2008 at 10:15pm 3 Comments

Wow! I can't believe it's already been 29 days since I started this journey. I feel that I need to do this again when I can be more present. It's a difficult time right now with a new baby, a needy preschooler, and putting everything I've got left into our business and my relationship with my husband. But I have come away with a new approach that has given me the power to pause and think of someone else. Of course it doesn't always work in the heat of the moment but it's a better place than I… Continue

Day 28

Today was my son's last day at his Montessori preschool. We've decided that he needs to attend his special preschool 4 days a week so he can get the help he needs with social skills. I bought the teachers a beautiful hibiscus plant to thank them for all of the help and love they gave him over the past 2 years.

Day 27

Today I visited some mom friends of mine that I haven't seen in a long time. We all used to get together every week with our kids for play dates. But our kids have gotten older and our schedules more busy so it's been difficult to make it happen very often. It was great to see how all of the kids have changed and the new dynamics added by having siblings. I had a gift of clothes for one of the mom's boy but unfortunately I forgot them at home. But as a nice surprise, she has some clothes to… Continue

Day 26

This afternoon I surprised my husband by taking the kids to visit him at the winery. My son has really been wanting to go and visit and today was an exciting day. Because it's harvest, there is lots of stuff to see. Some recently-picked grapes were being sorted, other grapes were being pressed, there were lots of forklifts to ride on and he got to see some cool dry ice "make smoke".

Day 25

Posted on September 21, 2008 at 10:00pm 1 Comment

Tonight I packed up the kids and went to a new grocery store I've been wanting to check out. I bought dinner fixins for the next two nights and got my son some special chocolate covered raisins. I also bought some new "G Diapers" that have a flushable/compostable/biodegradable liner and washable cotton cover. This is my gift to the environment. I've been feeling guilty about using the disposable diapers on my daughter and now I don't have to feel bad anymore.
