~It Just Feels Good~

Life is real...sometimes really hard; you never know when somebody needs to hear "lean on me" or "I can help you by...". How did you help another feel happy--relieved--or that life is good--people are good today?

Re: ~It Just Feels Good~
Today I was able to offer help to a few ladies at book babies (Which I probably should not have been there---Bo is coughing again, and sounding not so good) Anyway, besides infecting the book baby corner with our germs I spoke to a mom of 2u2 about how crazy these last few weeks have been. She mentioned her boys are all over the place; the 7 month baby learned to crawl on top of the coffee table and stand all the while she made meals for some other families...so I offered to make her dinner!
Another mom mentioned needing to go to FedEx to print out some documents. I offered for her to come over to our house (if she is brave) and use our office!
I hope both of these women take me up on my offer so I can lighten the load!
Fingers crossed Bo's cough/cold clears up.. I do not think it is healthy to take him in public...but I have been in a house for a week already!! AHHH! sorry I had to vent
PA-LEASE!! You were with your baby... and who knows if you were modeling great motherly behavior for others to see and feel refreshed.. You are always able to impact someone even if you think you are not.
Plus.. I knwo the challenge is to offer kindess to people out of the home..but man! you take such great care of your kids. I know I think you are one on-top-of it mama!
How very nice of you to offer to both of them when you obviously don't have an easy load yourself. I hope Bo feels better soon! Darn winter season, getting all these babies sick.
These sound amazing! Care to share your seasoning secret!
Not a secret

I don't make mine in a plastic bag though, a mixing bowl works just fine.
This one is from last week, but I forgot to share. I was in TRU (which I avoid like the plague, but I couldn't say no to buy one get 2 free crayola). After finding my stuff, I realized that with a sale like that, we could give more than usual to Toys for Tots. So I went back through the store and found some really great stuff. While in line, there was a dad with his son (10ish maybe?). The son (I think) was on the autism spectrum, I could tell from the behaviors, vocalizations, etc. The line was fairly long, and sloooow. The dad was doing an amazing job with his son, empathizing with him (I know it's so hard to wait, but look, we're almost there!) and keeping him focused ahead (We're going to have pizza when we get home! Will you drink white milk or strawberry milk?). The dad was so wonderful, he truly warmed my heart. I insisted that he and his son go ahead of me in line. It was a small thing, but he thanked me at least 3 times for the kindness and understanding.
The negative was that I had hoped it would create a chain reaction - this dad and son obviously needed to get check out and get going before the son couldn't take anymore. Not a single person gave them the same offer, it broke my heart a little bit.
