SIMPLY GIVE.... DAY 29

SIMPLY GIVE... UP TV FOR THE EVENING

i was sitting at home tonight talking to shawn and playing with the boys and the tv was on in the background...before i knew it i was sucked in the tv show that was on and was completely ignoring my fam! then i snapped back into what was going on and decided to turn off the tv! it was so nice just to focus on shawn and the kids! i know a lot of people get in the habit of eating dinner in front of the tv too! so turn the tv off when your family is together tonight and have dinner at the table and spend some quality time!

my little guys :)

SIMPLY GIVE...DAY 28

SIMPLY GIVE... SOMETHING TO YOUR SPOUSE WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED

have you ever heard the quote "happy wife,happy life"? well, its the truth! haha what makes your wife happy? maybe going shopping, taking a nice relaxing bath without the kids busting down the door,  going to starbucks, going out to eat with her friends? well, give her some time off to relax or do what she wants!!! and flowers would be a nice touch!! i read a funny quote tonight... "when a husband brings flowers to his wife for no reason, there's a reason" haha let there not be a reason!!

what makes your hubby happy? watching a football game on a sunday afternoon? why not make him some little snacks while hes watching  it!maybe make his favorite meal! or does he like a back scratch and asks you late at night when you are sooo tired and don't feel like it? scratch his back! (for more than a minute)

be a blessing to your spouse today!! and don't forget to kiss your spouse good morning and goodnight! (like you should be doing everyday)

SIMPLY GIVE...DAY 27

SIMPLY GIVE... SOMEONE A HAND AND OPEN A DOOR FOR THEM

i don't know about you,but when i'm going into the mall with my double stroller i think it sure is nice when someone opens the door for me! regardless if you have kids or not i think everyone would agree its not too nice when the person in front of you walks in and the door practically slams in your face!

open a door for someone today while your doing your holiday shopping:)

 (hunter Christmas 08)

don't forget to open that door for someone on your way into Macy's!!!

carter on a walk this fall in our double stroller that is hard enough to maneuver even without opening doors!!!

SIMPLY GIVE...DAY 25

SIMPLY GIVE....SOMEONE A VISIT AND PLATE OF FOOD

"lets not only GIVE thanks today but GIVE others a reason to be thankful!"

so many of us have places to go today,things to do,family to see, and we might even complain that we have too many places to be! but there are people out there who have no one and don't get any visitors at all! if you have a neighbor that has no kids, or a grandma that never leaves the house, or know someone that is going to be alone today,
make it a point to make them a nice plate of food and just chat for 5 minutes to let them know that someone cares about them!

p.s (thanks for that quote angelique)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

SIMPLY GIVE...DAY24

SIMPLY GIVE...A BUM A MEAL!

todays blog was inspired by my friend lola! just yesterday she was going thru the bank when she saw a young man sitting with a sign that said "need food". she drove to McDonalds and got him breakfast and a gift card,she took it back to him and actually sat down and talked to him about his life story and she told him she would pray for him! how awesome is that!?!?

if you see a homeless person on the side of the road, go get them a meal and maybe a gift card too! don't just drive by and think "awww,that's so sad" , or " they need to get a job if they want to eat" we have all done that and its not our job to judge but it is our job to help each other out!!!
