Today for our Random Acts of Kindness Advent we took some goodies to our local police station and fire department.
We used those wonderful tins we scored at Hobby Lobby for 50% off and Harper made some killer cards to go with them.
We went to the police department first…
and then the fire department.
The boys were creepily starting at the firemen…not a chance at getting them to actually look at the camera.
Both departments were super sweet to the wee Kelleys.
And tomorrow we will be…
leaving notes with gift cards in shopping carts.
My Aunt Linda is in town from Florida, so I am taking her grocery shopping tomorrow. I was totally stoked that this was tomorrow’s kindness act…could not have worked out any better.
And tomorrow marks our 13th month on the waiting list for our next little guy. Crossing my fingers to get the piece done tomorrow and start the giveaway…we shall see.
Hoping this will be a good one. Check back tomorrow.

You are amazing! I seriously look forward to your daily posts…can’t wait to see the little Pitter Patter picture pop up on my Facebook every day. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve totally “borrowed” 🙂 your advent idea…I was so inspired and really wanted to show my 2 year old what this season is really about. Last November, my husband was also diagnosed with cancerous brain tumor…with both of us out of work for his time in the hospital, and him out of work for months after that, we figured we’d do our best to make Christmas special without the gifts. But it is amazing how people come together in times like that! Without having a dime to spend on Christmas gifts, we had a living room full of little-girl toys on Christmas morning, thanks to so many people that helped us to make it the most special year ever. Being able to pay that forward is the best Christmas gift we could give to ourselves this year.
Thank you so much for helping me step out of my comfort zone and take on this fun advent project! I also want you to know that I have been praying so hard for you and your family. I know the fear and confusion you felt during those hospital days, and I felt as though I was living it right there with you. I am so sorry for your huge loss, I feel my heart drop every time I think about it. But I am so glad you are still comforted by Him and have been able to carry on your Mom’s wonderful spirit. Although I don’t really “know” you, I feel like I know you through your posts. And I knew your mom even less….but from all of the stuff I read on your blog, I also feel as though I am getting to know her more and more with every post you write and how much she seems to shine on through you. I am so inspired by you and even more inspired by the fact that even in adverse times, you are still continuing to inspire people!!! (is that enough “inspire” in one sentence for you??? lol) I know the holiday season might suck this year…there’s the trash mouth for you! But I truly hope you are comforted knowing you have totally brightened the Christmas season for so many others — me being one of them! I promise I will continue to pray for you if you promise to keep doing what you’re doing. Ah, who am I kidding…even if you stop I won’t stop praying for you! Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy those beautiful 3 little children!
You are seriously so amazing! I know you don’t know me… but you feel like my long lost sister 🙂 I look forward to your Random Acts of Kindness everyday and am getting great ideas of things to do with my wee ones! 🙂 Praying for your family during your “waiting”. thanks for being you.
My favorite part of this post, is the Kelley boys staring at the firemen! Just too cute! Thanks for pushing forward in your time of grief!! It encourages so many people!
