Inspired by Gwen, I’m signing myself up for the 29-day Giving Challenge. I am hoping to give something away every day, but am going to be realistic and allow myself to skip some days. So, what have I given away so far?
- Day 1 : Tuesday, November 11
Coupons. The lady behind me in line at Michaels was purchasing several items where she could use their 50% off coupon. I had two to give.
- Day 2 : Wednesday, November 12
A helping hand. I held someone else’s baby for her so she could eat her lunch.
- Day 3 : Friday, November 14
Two fresh loaves of banana bread. The women from our Bradley Childbirth class now get together on a weekly basis and I made banana bread to take to this week’s meeting.
- Day 4 : Saturday, November 15
iPod. Since I got a new iPod for my birthday, we gave one of our old iPods to Matt’s mom to have.
- Day 5 : Sunday, November 16
Computer CPU, parts and accessories. This really was my husband giving it away through freecycle, but we totally made somebody’s day, which is totally in the spirit of freecycle and this challenge.
- Day 6 : Monday, November 17
A ride to the airport. Matt’s parents needed a ride to the airport and I chauffered.
Advice. A woman at LUSH was looking for cold weather must-have lip balm and lotion. I told her about Neutrogena Hand Cream.
- Day 7 : Tuesday, November 18
Thank you letters. I took the time to finally write two long thank you letters to a people who were great breastfeeding resources.
