Day 358: Made Christmas Sing-A-Long CDs

One Smile Every Day | I'm on a mission to make someone smile every day this year by completing acts of kindness | Day 358: Made Christmas Sing-A-Long CDs

One of my favorite movie quotes of the season is "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear," from the movie Elf.  So when I found this adorable printable from Eighteen25, I knew this would be a fun act of kindness. I made CDs with my favorite Holiday Sing-A-Long songs and used the Christmas Cheer printable for the CD cover :)

Day 357: Gave a Cookie Mix Kit to a Friend


Wow! What a fabulous Holiday break with family and friends!! The year is quickly coming to a close, so let me fill you in on what I've been up to...

Day 357: Gave a Cookie Mix Kit to a Friend-- I have such fond memories of making cutout cookies with my mom and sister during the Holidays. My favorite part was always taste tasting! So today, I thought it would be fun to package a cookie mix, cookie cutter, and recipe for a friend to create memories with her family :)

Today I posted a photo of a hug on Instagram to support @theredtricyclebrigade ! For every hug photo posted with #hugs4joy , the nonprofit will receive $1 (up to $500). I decided to post one of my favorite pictures of me hugging my grandmother after I was able to pull off a surprise visit earlier this year :)

I found an adorable package of stationary that read "Wish List" at Target, which inspired this act today. I thought it would be fun to package the stationary with some crayons for children to write letters to Santa. I left the kit in a children's play area for someone to find :)

Wrapping gifts can get overwhelming with everything else going on during the season. Although it's one of my favorite activities during this time of year, for others it's not the most enjoyable way to spend the holiday. So today, I helped a friend wrap gifts for her family :)

One of my favorite activities of the season is wrapping gifts for family and friends! I thought it would be fun to gather some gift wrapping essentials-gift tags, tape, bows, and of course wrapping paper- to give to someone :)

Day 352: Remembered a Christmas-Time Birthday

One Smile Every Day | I'm on a mission to make someone smile every day this year by completing acts of kindness | Day 352: Remembered a Christmas-Time Birthday

My coworker told me this year that her birthday is often forgotten or lumped together with Christmas because of the date.  I wanted her to feel appreciated and not forgotten, so I put together a little something today :)
