Hi everyone,
Today is Day 5 for me. I have not decided what my gift will be for today. I will just trust God and he will guide me. I hope everyone have a bless and great day!
Round 17!? What an inspiration for the rest of us! I can't wait to start Round 2 with my 8 1/2 year old on Sunday! Cheers, Caitlin

I am not a TV watcher but my gift for Day 5 was to go back and watch some TV shows with my husband. We watched the shows he wanted and I did it with grace and did not complain.
Today is Day 6 for me. We are expecting 6 to 10 inches of snow. My gift today is going to be scraping off everyones cars when I leave school today! I even put my boots in the car! BRING ON THE SNOW!!!
Hey all!
I missed Day 2 on the blog, but thankfully I didn't miss it in real life! I was really worried yesterday that I couldn't give a gift because I was at work. I felt it was a lot harder when you're glued to your computer desk all day and don'…
Just thinking of you. Sending furry hugs, my specialty!
With love.

Absolutely the books you ordered count! (In my opinion), as you say you had a giving mind! You also wrote the cards to go along with the books...I think it's awesome! Good luck today, just remember a kind word or a helpful gesture is a gift too...ev…
I had a lovely day visiting my mother on the 7th. We spent the day shopping and then stopped for a late-afternoon snack and a drink. We ordered several appetizer dishes and everything was superb. My mother wrinked her nose at my steamed mussles (don…
That's so awesome! I realize that maybe I'm taking some of my little local places for granted! I'll say something next time I'm there!
Lovely stuff...:-))
Good Morning, Good Morning!
Mina has started with her spring scheduale: up @ 5:30/ 6 am and I am still gettting used to it. I don't mind really..there is something calming and universally connecting to waking up before the sun and watching the day…
I've been away from blogging but not giving. Still it is helpful to blog every day. On Saturday, my husband and I went out to breakfast with my son Shea's hockey team and I gave the waitress a double tip. On Sunday I made batches of caramel corn to…

In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
