Welcome to this wonderful adventure of giving. You started off with a lovely gift that will mean so much to a sick child. It's great that you are teaching your daughter to give to those less fortunate ;-)

day 1 (yesterday)

Ok! so yesterday, we were very short on time, my daughter just got back from her dad's at 5 and we had a dr. apt at 6:00 but afterward we went to Borders book store, where you can send a new book to a child at Rady's childrens Hospital. I was really proud of her because she had no problem picking a book that she thought a little girl like her would like, and she put some thought into it! but she wanted something in the store for herself that I couldnt get for her, she actually really had a melt…See More

day 0

This is day 0 because I just signed up and I have to be at work in the morning! I dont know yet what to give tomm! I want to learn how to focus less on my problems at the moment and to learn to be a better example to my daughter. Because I truly believe not necessarily in Karma, but that what you put out into the world you live in IS WHO YOU ARE, and that it is a CHOICE! That its presence and responsibility! someone once told me, they would never want bring a child into this world today, in…See More

About me:
I'm a single Mom, I have a few health issues at the moment, coming from being really healthy to this position has been life changing for me, it's a weird place, I have a very beautiful and creative happy little girl, getting ready to start kindergarten next year. I love nature, kind of artsy a little I guess, very moved by the struggles and kindness of others.

today, I was completely exhausted from work. My gift will have to be to my daughter by making Christmas cookies with her. she dropped a bag of flour and it exploded, and I was definitely not feeling it, but we ended up having a nice little chat and she must be exhausted too because she walked over to the couch and fell asleep :)

Tomm were gonna re-lax! and than I get to do that! today we just did a little baby gift at Wal-Mart for toys for Tots. Were gonna try to focus less on store bought stuff, and I think it's easy for us because it's Christmas and we'd be buying 29 gifts anyway! so were gonna try to be more personal I think, plus were both shy so were getting away easy doing the drop off… Continue

ok! I only have a sec! today we got a "treasure" for Rora's aunt Rose, Gingerbread mix for cookies for her uncle Gill, and a treat for their dog Diamond. they see Rory every Wednesday when she sees her dad and she has dinner and they are super great people. she always comes home with some little treasure that Rose found for her. also we gave an older lady some $, that was asking by the side of the road, she didnt want to take it because she said I had a little one! but she did, that's it!
