Kindness

Little Cuter created a Kindness of Calendar for her graduating kindergartner.

Every day has a different activity, starting with June 1st:  Volunteer to do the dishes after a meal.

FlapJilly was faced with the detritus of baking and snacking and dinner.  She was unfazed.
It was a problem to be solved, an organizational dilemma that was right up her alley.  That which did not go into the machine was washed by competent hands in the sink.  
And Mama didn't have to do anything at all.

It's been a tough week for the grown-ups; kindness certainly helped.

  2. I could only read a couple of the daily entries, but it sounds like a great idea.

    1. Kathy- Here is a link to the calendar. I put it in my google drive in case anyone wants to download it for their own use.

  3. I would hit the "like" button if there was one. Maybe even the "love" button.
