My 24th Birthday!

I wanted to spend my 24th birthday a little different this year. With all the sadness thats going on in the world (especially right now on the news) I wanted to spread a little cheer and hopefully try to make at least one person have a brighter day. So we packed the twinners in the car and headed out on a long day of doing a random act of kindness for every year I've been alive- 24! We saw some very thankful people which totally made our day! Nothing makes you feel better then feeling like you may have helped someone! We took some pictures of our adventures but thought it a bit inappropriate to shove a camera in someones face we were helping. I hope this will inspire ONE person to do something for someone this holiday season. You never know whose day you might make and you never know who will pay it forward. I have no idea of what I did on my last birthday but I can tell you this one will never be forgotten! :)

1.-2. Gave the nicest homeless man a happy meal and some money. He blew us a thousand kisses as we drove away! (This one counted as 2 acts because we were going to give a $ to someone else but thought he needed it most!)

3. Left a treat for our mailman with a thank you note!

4. Bought a gift card at a restaurant, found a family inside that was eating, set it down on their table and walked out

10. Left some quarters on a vending machine

11. Filled a vending machine with a few dollars

15. Fed some duckies!

16. Handed out roses at the hospital

17. Handed out balloons to little kids shopping with their parents

18. Took all the shopping carts back into the store

19. Bought a gift card at a grocery store, turned around and gave it to the woman in line behind us. (This was by far the best response we had all day! She was so grateful)
