lornadoone commented on Rachel Melcher's blog post Day Twenty-One: Food Drive"It's amazing how even when we can't do what we thought was so important, like starting your own food drive, that we can often be presented with a different option that works just as well or even better. Great job, Rachel!"

lornadoone posted a blog postDay Eight - Tea and Time
Today’s give was something pretty simple. I bought someone a cup of tea. I also bought myself a cup of tea and spent about a half hour getting to know her better. It was wonderful and just the type of thing I imagined myself doing when my company moved into its little office space ten months ago.One of the big selling points for our office space was the other businesses in the building. We’re housed in the Spokane Entrepreneurial Center, which is home to other tiny businesses that are making…See More

Day Sixteen - The Driving Force
Posted on November 25, 2009 at 1:11am 1 Comment 0 Likes
This day was pretty much centered around giving since we spent the majority of it in the car on our way to Montana for my mother-in-law’s birthday. We had a few surprises up our sleeve for the matriarch of my husband’s family. The fact that he, I, and her granddaughter were on our way was really the only part of the festivities she was in on from the beginning.
Truth be told, I always dread these trips a bit. Not because of my in-laws, mind you, but because my daughter isn’t entirely… Continue

Day Fifteen - A Fortunate Find

I’m a little behind on writing about the gifts I’ve given as part of the 29-Day Giving Challenge, but it’s not because I haven’t been following through. Instead, it’s because I’ve been busier than a one-legged grasshopper kicking the seeds out of a pickle. Tee hee. I haven’t heard that expression in years and here I am using it.
Anyway, I left off the day before we packed up the car and strapped the baby in the car seat for a five and a half hour drive to Helena, Montana for my… Continue

Day Fourteen – My Awesome Day

Let me start by saying that if you are my husband and you are reading this, you should stop now. I’m not joking or being all cutesy either, Rob. Close this window or go to another post or something, because I’m going to talk about something that happened today that I don’t want you to know about just yet because I’m working it into a nice surprise for you.
With that out of the way, let me talk about my amazing day. Don’t worry, it includes giving…three gifts as a matter of… Continue

Day Thirteen – More than Food in the Pantry
Posted on November 18, 2009 at 12:09am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today’s give wasn’t necessarily a stretch for me, but it was kind of cool nonetheless. Some time ago I started saving up my labels from Campbell’s products with the idea that I’d eventually walk them over to the nearby school. Campbell’s has a program called Labels for Education. Each label from a can of soup or other product is worth a certain number of points, and then the school gets to redeem those points for all kinds of supplies to improve the quality of education for their students. Of… Continue

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

Support our Cause of the Month
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!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.
