The fight over the burrito

Day 4 and 5 were awesome! My friend had a baby yesterday morning so day 4 and 5 were me stepping into her life and managing our 6 kids for two days. I had so much fun with all those kids. It was a gift to her but a fun gift to give. They all made me laugh over and over again :)Today was day 6 and my Mom came out to my sons baseball game at 830am. When she got there we had a breakfast burrito waiting for her. When she called she mentioned she didn't have time to eat. She tried to pay me a few…See More

Slightly Uncomfortable- Day 1 and 2

While doing this challenge I have keenly watched how people handle giving and receiving. While giving the front office lady a basket of muffins this morning I noticed I was awkward and slightly uncomfortable with the situation. I did drive by gift giving. Why is it embarrassing? Why did it make me uncomfortable?I am married to a man who has been in law enforcement for a long time and is very cynical. He lives by the motto that if you leave the world alone, hopefully they will leave you alone.…See More

The Beginning

It's amazing how all of this came to me. I walked into the local library and grabbed the first book on the first shelf. My son, who is insanely high maintenance, would not have any part of letting me browse. When we went to check out I didn't have either one of our library cards. Rules state no card, no books. The lady behind the counter let us have them anyway.It was easily one of the worst weeks our family has had in a while. Dealing with problems with my teenage daughter, ongoing failed…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
During the worst week of dealing with the pain of infertility I started reading the book 29 Gifts. After reading the book I came to the conclusion that it's not all about me and my pain. I gave a couple of gifts during the week from hell and can't tell you how much it freed me from my pain to give to others.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Read the book!
About me:
I am a new stay at home Mom! I just took medical leave from my job as a paramedic. My family will soon be taking foster children. We live a blessed life in the mountains of southern California.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
