I try really hard each week to offer Random Acts of Kindness within our community with the help of my kids, so they have the experience of helping others and make being nice a habit. Sometimes we pay for other peoples meals at restaurants, hand out cash to panhandlers, in the Summer give cold water and snacks to people working in the heat, in the Winter we have scraped ice off all the teachers cars. It’s super duper important to me that my kids have a generous and helpful heart.  I believe that starts with me showing them how to love and help all people.

Halloween is a week away so we decided to make BOO Baskets. The kids created Halloween BOO baskets filled with treats and goodies.  They are going to leave them on unsuspecting neighbors front steps and then hopefully the neighbor will continue the Random Act of Kindness and make a Boo Basket for another neighbor. It’s a simple, fun way to show kindness within a neighborhood or community. Plus my kids think it’s super fun to sneak out late at night and deliver the BOO Baskets without getting caught!
