My friend, Kate, is doing the coolest thing ever: 31 random acts of kindness to celebrate her 31st birthday. Each day she shares a photo on Facebook of that day’s kindness. It has ranged from a donation to the local food pantry to leaving a note and a gift certificate for a pedicure for an [...]
We don’t have pets. None. It’s not that we don’t like animals, it’s just that we have three kids and that’s always been enough responsibility for us. Lucky for us we have had great neighbor dogs. When we lived in California there were two dogs next door, Daisy and Duke, and they grew up with [...]
