RAK #29

We are getting so close to RAK #30... yikes! This week's random act:

RAK#29: Stick a dollar near the dollar spot toys for a child to find.

I thought we already did this one but it's still on the list so maybe not... and even if we did, it's a fun one I'm sure will be appreciated by another child. Stick a note to the dollar letting them know it's a special treat for them and if you're extra sneaky, you can 'shop' in the next section over while a child comes to get the dollar. It's fun to see their reaction.

Happy RAKing!

RAK #28

We are getting so close to RAK #30... yikes! This week's random act:

RAK#28: Pay a bill (or give money towards a bill) for someone.

Nobody likes bills! Once upon a time we had a friend who was cutting costs so we added them to our phone line and paid their cell phone bill for awhile. It was fun to serve them in that way until they went back to work. Maybe you know someone that's skimping on the AC to save on the cooling bill or someone who could use help with another bill. I've even had friends/family members of clients that have contacted me asking if they can pay the photography bill for a client- how fun is that?

Help someone out this month and leave them some cash or master card gift card that they can use towards a bill. Stick it in a card letting them know what it's for and why. It can be for someone you know, someone you just met, or a complete stranger. I'm sure they would appreciate it!

RAK #26/27

I'm going to cheat again and put two in one week so I'm covered for this week's too. :)

This week's random acts:

RAK#26: Donate items to the church nursery.

Last time we worked in the nursery, I noticed they could use some new items. I'm sure your church nursery would take donations too. Toys, books, and bubbles! are always fun. Cleaning supplies, paper towels, napkins are always practical. If you're not sure what they could use, ask and I'm sure they'll have ideas for you!

RAK#27: Make a meal for a neighbor.

I thought this was already one but maybe not? So if you've done this recently, choose a new neighbor and make a meal for them. Maybe someone you don't know well (or haven't even met). We are spoiled with great and friendly neighbors. They feed us way more than we feed them so we have some major catching up to do on this RAK.

RAK 23-25

So.... I may have gotten a LITTLE behind on posting to the blog.

I have a lot of really great excuses and most of them end with how much I love summer. Let me try to get caught up first then maybe I'll share some of those awesome excuses with you. In the meantime, you can follow me on instagram at @heididh33 to see what all we've been loving this summer. Also, that's how I'm following what all of you are up to as well. I hate to admit this but it's been a LONG time since I've been caught up on reading all my favorite blogs. If you've blogged awesome goodness lately, please let me know. :)

On to the RAK!

Okay I'm 'cheating' a bit this time. I went to our 'still to come' list and hand-picked ones I've actually done these last few weeks. I noticed we are down to just a few left on the list so if you have some ideas PLEASE let me know! Would love to use yours. :)

This week's (and some catch up...) random acts:

RAK#23: Help a friend clean.

Because who doesn't love this? I've had friends come help me clean and I've helped friends. Cleaning (especially deep cleaning) is so much easier (and dare I say more 'fun') if you have a buddy. I've done some of this lately and absolutely love it. Well. As much as you can love cleaning. ;)

RAK#24: Use your spiritual gifts to bless someone.

What talents has God blessed you with? Are you creative? Good with kids? A great listener? Great in the kitchen? Think about your God given talents and come up with ways to use them to serve others. 

RAK#25: Smile at (and say hello to) strangers.

I heard somewhere that most smiles start from another smile. 

I pretty much share mine with 'strangers' all the time because I'm from a small town where if you don't say 'hi' to someone that 'knows' you (whether you know them or not), they think you are stuck up. So I just do this to cover my bases in case I see someone I should know. It's interesting to me though to see some people's reaction to this. I especially love greeting the elderly. Bonus points if you ask, "How are you?" then actually stay to hear their answer.

Where are some ideas you have for this week's?
