Pay it Forward!

As most already know, I am very impressed with the newest city initiative  called: "Pay it forward Saint John". Here is a link to the facebook page, which contains a description as well as videos explaining the initiative and goal. The overall idea is for Saint John to become known as the "kindest city". The idea is that people will pick up a "pay it forward" bracelet, complete an act of kindness, and then pass the bracelet hoping that the person will continue to pay it forward by helping someone else. The act can be as simple as a kind word or helping a stranger by carrying their bags or paying for a beverage. It can be anything really! I am so excited about this, as for us this is an extension of our "good deed" calendar we do for the month of December. I am excited to get my co-workers involved as well as to involve Kaiden in these deeds. For more information visit Pay it forward Saint John on facebook or twitter.

Resolution

So for 2013 hubby and I decided to focus our attention even more so on our Children. We decided that from when we arrive home after work until our children are in bed we will not use any technology. We will put the cell phones and computers away and turn off the television. We will make an effort to "play" more and enjoy our time with our kids. It has been so much fun and it was such an awesome feeling when Kaiden learned of our plan. He was so very excited and immediately told Grandma when she around that after supper was "play time". So from here on our if you need to reach us phone or text after 7:30 :)
