Hello All.I am excited to be blogging more often! I vowed to myself this year that I would *TRY* to blog more so that you could get to know me on a more personal base. I am honestly no good at writing(or spelling! I'm sure you've noticed!). I find myself struggling to make these long enough, so I've decided that I will be a short blogger :D I am also hoping that more of you will keep stopping back and leaving feed back, encourage me along the way!
So for the month of December I've decided our family will be doing "The 25 days of christmas" The whole idea for me is to find ways to bless others around us where it's those who are in great need or those in our neighborhood or church or school or work. Where ever! Also I want to find things to do that are special with my boys. (Tyson will be 5 in January & Lucas is 1.5 years old) I am so busy the rest of the year that I want to make them a priority this month! This means working less. ;) (Sorry all, I will be back in the swing of things for January. I felt this was super important to do for the family.)
SO here are a few ideas I have!
- 1. Make a christmas card for a special family member.
- 2. visit the Live Nativity at in Kelowna.
- 3. make paper snowflakes
- 4. Bake a pie for someone in our church.
- 5. Deliver flowers to an unsuspecting person.
- 6. Make Apple Cider for the postman.
- 7. Go for a family walk in the snow and then make snow angels.
- 8. Go skating at Apex mountain and have Hot Cocoa!
But I would SOOOO love for you to give me other ideas! Do you know any great needs in Penticton area? Do you have any ideas for me!?
