Day 7, 8, 9

Day 7:  Brought a birthday cake over to a friend before work, she was so happy, and I got a piece before going to work...that was a great receive LOL. Day 8:  Surprised my son with the news that we have decided to finally put him into hockey.  He has been asking for the past year, and we have been putting it off because the thought of giving up our weekends for practice and tournaments made me cringe.  But after much conversation with my husband, we decided it is really what he wants to do and…See More

Day 4

I am having company over tomorrow and decided to make individual chocolate skor trifles.  I had a lot of left over and was able to make another small trifle in a bowl.  While on the computer I looked on to my facebook and one of my girlfriends was having a rough day. So, when my husband went to pick up my sons from school, I sent him to drop off the trifle.  She just called and was totally thrilled.  Made my day :)See More

Day 3

A girlfriend and her hubby, whom I've known since elementary school, have an Autistic son.  The therapy is so expensive, and they haven't been on a vacation since their honeymoon, over 10 years ago.  So, as a gift, my husband and I who both work for a major Canadian Airline (westjet) changed our benefits to include them as our travel designates.  Which means they can travel at a fraction of the cost.  I just booked them on a 5 day trip to Punta Cana. They will have such a fantastic time on…See More

Day 37 of my 40 day Lent giving

Today I went to the Grocery store as I was purchasing all the food for my menu's for both Friday Family gathering, and Saturday in law gathering.  To my surprise with my purchase I received a huge free Honey Sprial Ham.  Well, my family is vegitarian (a little bit of seafood from time to time).  So, at first I declined the ham, but then it hit me.  So, I took the ham.  When I got home I called the food bank.  They wouldn't accept it because it was not a non-parishable type of food.  Then by a…See More

It's been a while since I've posted

I have been so busy, that I haven't been posting my gives. I actually challenged myself over Lent, to do 40 days of giving. It has been a rebirth for me, and I have had several amazing and unexpected receives. To day was a fun give raising awareness for autism. Several friends have been touched by autism, so, today for autism awareness day, I made signs for our front lawn in dedication to them and changed our outdoor bulbs to blue. Another fun give a few days back was a fingerprint kit from a…See More
