The Give Joy Project

The Give Joy ProjectLast weekend Sam and I went to Home Depot as a family of 5 looking for a new edition for our outdoor Christmas decor. While shopping we were told twice that we had our “hands full”. Later that day at the beach while wrangling 5 boys (Waylon and Zeke + my nephews) and carrying Ruby on the rocky jetty a couple told us to “love em while they’re young, pretty soon it’ll be just you two.” I was so tired I couldn’t fake a sentimental sigh or laugh, so I smiled at them and said, “I can’t wait.” Ha ha of course I was kidding but If one more person told me to “savor the moment” or that I “had my hands full” my eyes might roll to the back of my head and stay there.

These strangers usually mean well with their sentiments, however I can’t help but think how much better it would do my heart to hear an “you’re doing a good  job mama” instead of “wow your hands are full.”

So in the spirit of this season I thought it would be great to spread joy in a simple and fun way. I created a free downloadable PDF to print/cut out and carry around to hand out to a random parent, person or your local barista just to tell them they’re doing a good job.

Use these cards however you please as well as the hashtag #thegivejoyproject2018 so everyone can see the ripples of good going out into the world.

I’m so excited about this project and I hope it spreads like around like a Fortnite dance cause apparently those are all the rage on the playground and every kid from here to China knows about them..I still don’t get it by the way.
