Well, I figured I should catch up on things since I'm about to leave for Christmas and will already have a stack of giving to update you on for Days 24-28...which means I'll only be one day away from finishing!



Day 18: Today I sent a book to one of my close friends. She just got engaged and is beyond excited, but is already starting to feel the pressure of planning a destination wedding. I ordered her The Knot's guide to destination weddings. I hope she likes it!



Day 19:… Continue

The gift I chose for today was easy and anyone can/should do it! You can visit www.goodsearch.com and every time you search, a charity of your choice earns approximately 1 cent.

Day 12: The Salvation Army alawys makes it easy to give if you haven't done… Continue

Yesterday afternoon was day 10 and I have to admit I only "halfway" gave something. We had a new employee start on Monday in our fairly small office and I know it can be intimidating to come into an environment where everyone seems to know each other so well. I asked this employee if she wanted to go around the corner and get a hot chocolate chip cookie, partially because I thought it would be a fun, quick afternoon break and partially because I have a bad sweet tooth...especially when the… Continue
