i'm beginning to think that one of the benefits of the 29 days of giving is that we begin to be 'automatic' [that sounds more accurate and maybe more flattering than mindless] givers - which is exactly what i suspect we should strive for, because ...

thanks Stacey - this is my first round, so I am fascinated by people like you who are up to number 11 - it must be such a way of life for you now.

Rd 11 Day 5~ Thanks & a Blankie

Today I gave thanks to the Veterans that I know. Just a simple thank you can go a long way!

I also made a fleece blanket for my cousin's little boy. I made one for him and gave it to them for the baby shower and It has since become his favorite blankie. the problem is his mom can't get it away from him long enough to wash it. So she emailed me(they live in Massachusetts) and asked if I could make another one so she can swap them out to wash them. Of course I had no problem with this request. I… Continue

Round 11 Day 3~ Mindless or Mindful Giving?

I feltl like my giving today was almost mindless. I did the normal giving things I do almost everyday. small things that I don't even think about. so there was the mindless giving.
Then I realized as I was rehashing the day in my mind that I spent a bit of time going through recipes today for our meals this week. I have been trying to eat healthier and I really gave myself and my family some really healthy food on this day. Lots of fresh veggies, a new recipe for Mushrooms that everyone LOVED an… Continue

Round 11 Day 2~ More than I bargained for

Today we celebrated my mom's 60th birthday with a surprise bus trip to Atlantic City. All of our family and friends were on the bus before she got there and we totally surprised her! it was a really great day. So I thought this was going to be my give for the day but I was wrong.

Turns out that I ended up getting a phone call after I was in my PJ's for the night to help out my best friend. she got into a fight with her daughter and had walked home on her own at 10:30pm. so they were calling me… Continue

Round 11 Day 1~ Freeing up some space

Today I start my 11th round by giving to myself. I spent a good portion of the day cleaning out my bedroom. I am a pack rat and i get it honestly from my mom. I was in the mood to get rid of things and so that is what i did. I started a box for items to sell at a yard sale and two for christmas gifts that i have already aquired. i also went through some cooking magazines that i have put aside and cut out the recipes i would like to try and got rid of the mags to free up some more space. Still ha… Continue

Today I decided I would surprise my son when he got home from school with a fresh tray of rice krispie treats instead of the store bought ones. He told me that I was the best mom, and he is 17 so that is a treat for me.
