The second week is an in between week in December. Too early to start giving big gifts, so I focused on spending time with the kids prepping.
Day 8 - ornament exchange with my moms club (it still counts as giving when I receive too, right?)
Day 9- online donations through my employer's matching program
Day 10 - lip balm for my cleaning service
Day 11 - bake with the kids on a rainy day (giving quality time to them to prepare goodies to share with others)
Day 12 - gave myself a rest. I have been sick and needed a nap.
Day 13 - hosted a belated birthday party for my mom at my house.
Day 14 - gave energy to the youth Christmas pageant at church (rehearsals and coaxing my son to stand up and sing with the others).
I got a little creative on some days, but made up for it on others. One thing this challenge has taught me is to look for little opportunities to give a smile or extra focus and time with my kids.
