Christmas Kindness

Today is one of my favorite days for Blogmas. It's a day dedicated to Service.Ways to give back, Service to others, Spreading Holiday Cheer & Christmas Kindness. Isn't that just wonderful? It makes my heart so happy!! I have been taught all of these things ever since i was a little child. Every year my Dad would take my siblings and i to the local homeless shelter to serve a Christmas dinner. It was always so wonderful to see them smile & be happy.
I always try to teach my boys as well that service & kindness is something we always do. It is something that you need to teach so that your kids & family love doing it! 


Today i am sharing with you one of my favorite quotes on Service & 20 ideas for Random Acts of Kindness for this Holiday season.

Rudolph Noses

This weekend we did some fun Holiday Baking. We made cute Rudolph noses and my boys loved it. I love these little treats because you can make them for any holiday and just change the colors. So fun!! Plus anything kid approved in our house is a must! I love letting my boys help cook, bake etc! It helps them learn new things and helps us create amazing memories. I love it.
