Virtual Random Act for a Smile....This is taken from one of my favorite books to read the boys...we still read it at least once a week at bedtime!!



“You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.” ― E.B. White, Charlotte's Web ~ A beautiful quote from one of my favorite stories...The Rain will not deter us today....doing for others, lifting up a life a trifle, spreading kindness with a random act....Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that :)

Random Act of Kindness Day Nine

Random Act of Kindness:  Day Nine
Our Mission: Loads of Fun
Our Location: The Wash Pub
Our Target: anyone using the self serving laundromat


This evening we dropped off Tide with Downy laundry detergent at a nearby self serving laundromat. We attached a note to "Use as needed...Free! Have a Nice Day!! This is a Random Act of Kindness" We went in and there were three people inside along with a custodian. The boys placed the detergent on one of the washers and we were out the door. It was a "ditch and dash"....Making life a little lighter by 32 loads ♥
 "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss, The Lorax ~ Fantastic Movie...wonderfully heartfelt....the quote fits in perfectly with our Random Acts of Kindness!!!
 Kindness comes in all sizes.....whether it is everyday kindness or a random acts of kindness....Kindness takes so little of your time and so little of yourself, a simple selfless gesture..Our 40 days of random acts of kindness is like dropping a pebble in the ocean, but the ripples will go on and on..."I do it for the joy it brings, cause I'm a joyful girl. 'Cause the world owes us nothing, we owe each other the world" ~Ani Difranco

Random Act of Kindness Day Eight

Random Act of Kindness:  Day Eight
Our Mission:  Kindness STAT
Our Location:  Pitt Memorial Hospital (Vidant)
Our Target:  All the Emergency Room workers in the ER


We are on a sweet roll, and decided to take 4 lbs of chocolate chunk brownies to the Emergency Room workers at our local hospital. The boys made a homemade card thanking the staff for saving lives, they drew an ambulance on the front and a nurse inside telling a patient "you will be just fine". We pulled up to the hospital just as the night shift was coming on.....The security guard joked that our brownies made the metal detector go off as we went in. We went to employees at the guest registration to make our delivery. The staff was very appreciative and told the boys how much they all will enjoy them. We knew that the hospital staff could not accept homemade brownies so we brought in premade Pillsbury Brownies that hopefully made their night a little sweeter ♥ CPR Chocolate Provides Rewards....Sweet Rewards!

The Power of One...
