I gave my neighbors daughter part of her bday present, a Dora swimsuit. I decided to give it to her early because, well, her party isn't until the 23rd & by then Summer is practically over. Also gave them a baby present. (She's having a c-section on Aug. 12)

I gave my Mom, Grandma & Mother-In-Law a ton of pictures from Natalie & Leila's lil' photo shoot. I'd post just how much that cost me but, we'll just leave it at, EXPENSIVE!!! But totally worth it.
(Hey, they're only little once!)

The only thing I could come up with is that I sent my husbands friend a message on myspace wishing him a Happy Birthday.
It's been so long that I really can't remember WHAT all I gave, if anything, back in July.… Continue

Today I gave my 2 neighbors cupcakes from Natalies' Strawberry Shortcake cupcake cake.
Man that is a mouthfull to say!

My brand new neighbors (house was just recently built) didn't come over but had dropped off a present a week or so before the party, so I brought over 3 cupcakes for them & their 2 year old. She is also pregnant, going to have a c-section on the 12th & her husband just got out of the Q-course, which is a course you have to make it through to become Special Forces, which… Continue

Today I gave Natalie a birthday party!! Her 2nd bday party!
& I gave 2 of my cousins (& their 3 kids) a free place to stay, & free beer, & free food. Well, all the things you'd expect at a party!
But, it was the least I could do for them since they drove up 5 1/2 hours & the other about 4 hours to come to the party. Meant a lot to me. I live out in the middle of nowhere, have very few friends here (only 1 showed up for the party) & the husband is gone so, I get kinda lone… Continue

I gave my daughters keepsakes, in a way today. - - - I got their pictures taken, as much as they both hated it, & as much stress as it caused me!
Natalie turned 2 today, & Leila is exactly 2 weeks.
& like I said, neither of them enjoyed it, I know they will once they are older & especially if they have children of their own.

Introducing....

Thanks for the comment. So far it is easy because I think I am a good person and I hope unconsiously I do something everyday. I am sure there will be a day that I will have to look for something to do. I am only on day 3.
