29-Day Giving Challenge

It's Mum's birthday tomorrow, last night I phoned her and said that my husband Kristen and I will take her out for a suprise lunch on Saturday.

My Dad will be away for Mum's birthday.  This morning I phoned him and offered to purchase Mum a gift for him to save him the trouble.  He was really appreciative.  Mum has such a 'green thumb' and has recently started growing fruit.  Therefore, I sourced a great nursery and have ordered her a number of fruit trees.  I know she'll love it. 

It feels really good to be back in the swing of conscious giving.  This time round I am going to challenge myself to help out strangers during this journey.  Any great ideas that you love would be welcome!

Hope everyone is having a beautiful day!  I am off to catch up with a friend I haven't seen in over a year, I can't wait.

Happy Birthday to your mom.  Fruit trees are a wonderful gift.  And how thoughtful of you to help your dad like that.

I hope you had a lovely time with your friend.
