Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I have a generous spirit and I do what I can to give. But I get wrapped up in my busy schedule, my kids' activities and life in general and don't do as much as I'd like. I read Cami's book over a year ago and have adopted some of her ideas although not on a daily basis. Now, I'm ready to take on the daily challenge - not just for 29 days but for the full 40+ Days of Lent!!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I love giving, doing for others. It makes me feel better about myself and my life. I hope that by adopting this challenge from Ash Wednesday until Easter, I will find myself in the habit of giving day in and day out. I want to make this a habit so that I don't forget to be giving on those days when life gets complicated!
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- I read Cami's book over a year ago in December 2010.
- About me:
- I am a wife to a wonderful husband of 18 years. I am a mother to two great children, ages 13 and 10. I am an employee for an amazing
Catholic church. I consider myself to be a pretty good person, but I'm always trying to improve - in my health, my relationships and my generosity.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

Day 32 - March 24 - A Special Treat for Nicholas (or Round 2 - Day 3)
Posted on March 23, 2012 at 1:30pm 2 Comments 2 Likes
I'm blogging about tomorrow's gift a day early. I'm going with my daughter to an out-of-town basketball tournament this weekend. My husband and son are remaining at home.
My son is 10 and I wanted him to get to do something fun while his sister and I are away. As it turned out, his favorite puppet company (he has attended their summer puppet camp 3 times and appeared in their Christmas pageant this past December) is having an installment of their Puppet Club tomorrow morning. Nicholas…

A friend of mine ruptured his Achilles tendon earlier this week. As a result, he had to ungo surgery today. He's a bit of a jokester and I was able to find exactly the card I was looking for to send his way. It is a card with 20 silly suggestions of what to do while you are recovering from surgery - including making puppets out of your pill bottles and calling into a talk show as an alien. (I knew what I was looking for because I had sent the same card to another friend last fall - I was…

I didn't even notice when I blogged on Wednesday that I had reached Day #29. In some ways, it seems as if I've just gotten started. In other ways, it seems as if I've been doing this forever.
Since I originally set out to do this for the entire 46 days of Lent, I am going to keep on going and keep on blogging for my full 46 days.
Thursday was World Water Day. For my gift, I made a gift to the environment. My gift was a pledge to do more to conserve water. I read a lot of…

My last two days' gifts were planned in advance based on my cleaning out on Sunday. For today, I had nothing planned at all. I was going to see how the day played out and hope that an opportunity to give presented itself.
As I started my commute to work this morning, the radio station I listened to was having their annual radiothon for Children's Miracle Network. As a parent, I find nothing more frightening than the thought of my children being seriously ill. So, when I arrived at…
