Let's get personal...

This week has been a fabulous week of sharing and experiencing love! I'm so happy with the outcome of the "Cans For Comments" donation campaign...total number of comments accumulated via blog, myspace & facebook = 63!!! It makes my heart happy to share this experience with everyone who follows the blog! I'm also VERY happy to say that our family will be personally matching that number to make the donation to the Terre Haute Lighthouse Mission 126 non-perishable food items!!!

Thanks to everyone who made a donation via comment!!!





This week has been a very reflective week for our family...we have decided that making a considerable donation for those in need is something that we will doing on a more consistant timeline and it's something that we want to be a big part of our holiday tradition. For those of you who know Levi and I personally, you know that we are not much into gift giving (to each other, by means of physical gifts), but that we LOVE sharing our home, cooking tasty meals for our friends and suprising each other with small and thoughtful gestures...we find great joy in sharing a part of our lives and making others happy and warm inside!...and there is nothing like giving a part of yourself for the good of others and we want to extend that out to others that are in great need.

We hope this post finds you in good spirits as we share our adventures over the next few weeks!

It's important to us to teach those values to our son as he grows up...and what better way to teach him than to show him?
