Generosity Week: Give and Win $100 from The Peaceful Mom! 

It’s January, which means not so nice weather, lots of indoor time and the after-the-holidays doldrums. To counteract the grayness of January our family will be focusing on generosity this week in big and small ways.

    I am a new facebook fan. I gave a table and chairs that I wasn’t using to family who lost their home in a fire on New Year’s Day. I followed you on twitter and retweeted. I followed you on pinterest, too.

  13. melissa martinez says

    I am commiting to my church a percentage of our income for ninety days. Its something new for people who are giving in our church.

  14. Janel baker says

    I gave a family in need a new TV, gave some fabric to a new sewing business, gave clothes to a friend, and gave soap products from a local company to a few friends. 🙂

  17. Sarah Sonntag says

    I went to CES this week and got tons of freebies 🙂 I gave everything to friends and co-workers who didn’t attend. They were super happy!

  18. Shelli says

    Facebook follower – i kept a dear friends oldest child this past weekend so her and her hubby could have a night together before their second child is born tomorrow.

  19. Beth says

    Thank you so much for encouraging us to give generously. It is, honestly, something I struggle with. Our budget seems so small. You reminded me that I have been given SO MUCH, though! Over the past several days, I’ve kept my eyes and my heart open for opportunities to give generously. A few days ago, in a store, I overheard a woman who seemed extremely stressed. I didn’t have anything tangible to “give” her, so I prayed with her right there in the checkout at Walgreens! The LORD used you, and your blog to encourage me, and I hope that He used me to encourage her! Thank you, Kimberlee!!!!

    • Kimberlee says

      Thank you for sharing that story Beth. There have been plenty of times that we did not have money to give, but that’s not always what people need, is it? 🙂

  20. Cyndi Holt says

    I still am learning this social media thing. I don’t know how to copy the link to my Pin, but I did it! I follow you on Pinterest & have “Like”(d) you on Facebook & re-posted and Pinned this info. I’m a Fibromyalgia disabled wife & part-time stepmom. I have learned to make jewelry and am giving a special custom leather-wrapped bracelet to my dentist’s young, single mom asst (in her fav color) at my appt this Wed, that I made as a treat for no particular reason. I also just completed custom jewelry sets for 2 of my friend’s daughters for their upcoming winter formal, matching each of their dresses. Thank you for always helping those of us who depend so much on living virtually online to connect with others!

  24. kate b. says

    I have collected my daughters clothes aand toys she has grown out of and donated them to our local church.

  26. Jamie says

    I lost my job last week. I am completely devastated. A friend suggested your website to help me save since my income has stopped. My husband is a police officer and I worked full-time in the mental health field. We live on a 2 family income. I have two wonderful children. The hardest part is to look my children in the eye and tell them no because mommy lost her job. Even though I did nothing wrong to lose my job I feel like a failure. I have to start cutting costs at home. Your website has been very helpful. A 100.00 would be so helpful at this time. I have agreed to watch a friend’s little girl for free this week because I know how expensive child-care can be. I am glad to pay it forward. Thank you.

    • Kimberlee says

      I am so sorry that you lost your job Jamie. I pray that you will be able to quickly find something else. Good for you for giving to someone else in spite of your circumstances.

  27. Heather says

    I follow you on FB and am now following your pins. I also pinned the picture. I picked up medicine for a home bound woman, gave a gift card to a student whose husband is unemployed and she only works part time and am doing the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics. I have worked with 4 individuals and coordinated with them to work with a compensatory education class (special needs) to do an art project using old windows, class, beads, glue and paint.

    If I win I am donating the either card to the teacher of the compensatory education class so that he can purchase misc. things needed not covered by state money.

  59. JoAnn says

    I love this!! We try to teach generosity to our children always. This week my 12 year old son and I will be our extra eggs to the food bank and we just took a family in need a week worth of items that he and I canned from garden.

    • Sarah Barnes says

      I’m going to bring my neighbors “my adopted grandparents” a meal, as they have not been feeling well since Christmas. Of course I don’t really feel like I’m doing anything extraordinary. I just love them.

  80. Shelley says

    We drive home a little boy 2 days a week who lives near us to help out his mom (she is a single mom of 3 little ones and has had a rough time lately). On Thursday instead of just dropping him off, we brought him to our house to play with my son and have after school snacks.

    • Karen M says

      I ‘like’ you on facebook. The neighbor children love my baking so I am taking them some cookies this week.

      • Kimberly Wiltshire says

        I will be making dinner & dessert and taking it to a close friend who is going through a very difficult time right now!

  86. Katie says

    Recently my daughter and I bought a bunch of flowers and handed them out one by one to people we encountered. Lots of surprised smiles. This week we plan on making cookies to put in our neighbor’s mailbox.

  87. Kyra Shew says

    I found you on pinterest… I just hit liked on facebook, hopefully my friends will starting following as well….

    The 18th I am turning 35 and would like to do 35 acts of kindness (not just 35 but that is a target) I saw this on pinterest… I am going to start at work I want to see some smiles on my co-workers faces durig these stressful times at work!

    But for this week I am going to give real time to my family, not the “I just got home from work let’s go through the motions of the evening time” but real time laughing, being silly, listening.

  90. Sarah says

    Just retweeted your post(:

    I’ve posted two things I’ve done so far, so I think instead of reaching to the past for a post, I’ll think of something new to do. I looked through some comments and have been inspired to more good deeds.

    We have had twelve inches of snow recently in town, and the volunteer group who usually goes to homes of elder people is no longer together. I’m going to convince my boyfriend to go shovel some sidewalks with me tomorrow afternoon and make delicious hot-chocolate coffee with marshmallows for him after(:

  91. Sarah says

    I already liked you on Facebook, so I shared this post.

    I’m moving soon, and I realized I could live off of much less clothing than I own and don’t have space for in the move, so I spent a bit of today and will finish tomorrow loading an SUV full of clothing, some new, to donate to the Koffeehouse, the soup kitchen in my hometown, because they will give it out to people who really need it instead of the clothes being resold in a thrift shop.

  92. Sarah says

    I repinned on Pinterest(:

    I had a professor last semester who is a single dad with twin daughters nine years old. He commented on how they never get out of town, and there isn’t much to do around here, so I found some old cut out paper dolls while I was home, and I brought them to town when I returned from break. We spent yesterday playing with the paper dolls and baking sugar cookies so he could have some time to grade papers and then go out to dinner with a colleague. The girls and I then made up plates of the cookies and delivered a couple dozen to the soup kitchen in town and took the rest to the dining hall workers this afternoon. It was so much fun!

  94. Emily G says

    I followed you on Pinterest and pinned this post! 😀

    Today I was driving to my Bountiful Baskets Co-Op site (early, since I volunteer), and there was a good foot of snow on the ground, with more coming down. Here in Utah it gets pretty nasty sometimes. Anyway, I saw an elderly woman walking toward the train station, hurrying along like she might have been late. I had to pull a u-turn, since she was going the opposite direction I was, but I stopped and gave her a ride the rest of the way. I don’t have many material things, but anytime I can give someone a hand, I will.

  96. Mishelle says

    This week I already had 3 acts of kindness planned. I work in a retail environment. My staff of 107 is exhausted and deserve a reward for all
    Of their hard work. I spent the night shopping for goodies and tomorrow I’m assembling small gift bags to say thank you.
    Next my daughter and I are taking our dog to a senior citizens home to play with some of the residents. Lastly this Friday I will be surprising my single mom friend with a day of “maid” service. I am watching her pets while she goes away for the weekend. I plan in steam cleaning her rugs, and furniture 🙂 I live for random acts of kindness !!

  97. Renee M says

    I am supporting a boy named Nathan Norman. He has brain cancer. You can read about him on facebook “Nathan’s Christmas: the page”. The family especially needs your prayers.

  101. Kathryn M says

    My friend is having trouble paying rent. I’m paying for her lunches to help her out where I can.

  102. Sarah M says

    The grocery store we shop at only accepts debit, check, or cash. No credit. Last week when I went the girl in front of me got to the register and found this out. She had no other way to pay for the $15 worth of food and walked out with her young daughter. I paid for the food while the cashier took the basket out to her. At least they’ll have full stomaches tonight.

  103. Andrea says

    I am following you on Twitter, I already “liked” you on Facebook…

    I am offering free birthing services by helping a young pregnant mom create her birth plan this week.

  114. Tracy Lewis says

    I am a stay at home mom, and my mother had surgery on her hand on Dec 30. For the next 6 weeks I will be helping her around her house while my dad is at work (cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, getting her dressed & ready in the mornings, etc) until she can use her hand again. I just recently started staying at home with my kids, so I feel blessed that the timing worked out, and I am able & available to help.

  115. Sabrina says

    I gave my recycling to a homeless man rummaging through our trash bins and ran inside to make him a sandwich, gave him one of my husbands sweaters, its freezing outside..

  118. Bridgette Hepburn-Smith says

    I “liked” your facebook page a while ago 🙂 Tonight, I am sharing this post. I am a school counselor and this week, I have been bringing home a particularly needy child who is in the same grade as my son. He’s amazed at having hot water and ice cream for dessert. Breaks my heart! We are so blessed.

  145. Angelia says

    I already “Liked” you on Facebook and now I’m following you on Twitter! The thing I’m giving this week, besides groceries, is my time to a neighbor the has no family and my neighbor is dying. He has no children or siblings. He only has his 78 year old wife. There are two other wonderful neighbors helping me make his last days a little more endurable. It is very sad. Prayers please for his wife. We are in Tennessee.

  164. angie mccort says

    We are big “freecyclers” in our house so we give regularly… I just gave away and winter coat that my son has outgrown and several bags of clothes that my daughter out grew. I am trying to get rid of 7 things this week… trying to live less cluttered.

  165. Lisa H. says

    First to note: I liked and shared your blog on Facebook. Secondly, thank you for being such a positive influence in our society. It’s people like you that spread smiles just through kindness. It’s contagious. My “giving back” moment happened during Christmas week. I met a single mother of six children ages 6-19. I inquired about her Christmas plans. They had none, and hadn’t had a Christmas for 3 years due to “being poor,” as she stated. She still had a good attitude and stated “We have each other and that’s all that matters.” We are blessed with lots of family and our kids have more than enough. I gave her kids a carload of toys including a Wii. since we have Xbox also. They ended up having a good Christmas. God bless all that you do!

  166. Camille R. says

    How inspiring is this post! Thanks for doing this! I don’t have much to give in the ways of money- with bills and tuition for my husband’s schooling, we are on a tight budget. I do love to give what I can!!
    This week I have already given a neighbor (who has great trouble breathing and thus walking up the dozen or so steps to her house) a helping hand. She parked across the street and have 2 bags and a box to carry up. I immediately dropped my packages in the house and helped her across the street and up the stairs to hers.
    I also gave my work team a huge bag of Hershey’s kisses to share as we endured an ALL day meeting yesterday. They loved the treat and everyone stayed awake in our meetings!

  169. Lara says

    I plan to give some gently used clothing items to a family in need. Also planning to give the gift of time and watch a friends children for about 20 hours this week.

  172. Nancy says

    In preparation for Christmas guests, we cleaned my 15 year old son’s room. We will be donating his outgrown k-nex, Legos and model airplanes to Purple Heart.

  175. Holley says

    I just finished going through some of our food and am sending it to work with my husband to share with his co-workers!

I am also planning to take dinner to her and the girls tomorrow night because her husband works 24hr shifts. I was orginially giving her the gift of all my maternity clothes.
    ~ My mom and my MIL watch my kids for free so we are making them freezer chicken pot pies this weekend to give as a thank you for all their help (this was when they get home they just have to pop it in the oven!)

In the Starbucks drive-through this morning, I bought the car behind me’s order. I am also giving our crib and a bag of clothes to a family we heard about through a friend who works at a charity organization for immigrants.

  209. Diane says

    I’m giving a single mom an overnight break as she is packing to move, her little girl will come spend the night on Thursday or Friday.

  210. Mandy Ferguson says

    I have liked this and shared it on FB. I am making granola chocolate chip cookies for the teachers at my son’s school for their first week back after holiday break! 3 entries! How exciting! 🙂

  211. Cynthia says

    I liked and shared the contest on Facebook… I’ve been mulling over what I could give, as I am pinching pennies this week.. I’m pretty sure I can find some items to bring to the community/laundry room that others might need and enjoy.

  215. Becca Bunnell says

    I manage a second hand store. I will pay for and give 5 clothing items to a family in need.

  216. Betsy Carter says

    Over the holiday, I did a bunch of “big batch” recipes and bake ahead treats– I will be giving some of these treats and time-savers to some busy mom-friends.

  229. Tasha Boros says

    A friend of mine recently became a grandmother at age 36 & her son, his daughter & the mother have moved in with her & her husband. I have donated all of my clothes & baby gear that my 7 month old daughter has out grown & will continue to give them all of the items my daughter grows out of. Having three extra mouths to feed is certainly a strain & if I win that $50 gift card would go along way towards food & diapers.

  230. Anna says

    I belong to a seed swapping group on FB (one of several) and they’re raising funds to give a garden of seeds to those in need. I’ve donated some of my survey $$ to them.

  232. Virginia Ashcraft says

    I watched someone else’s children today so she could drive 2 hours away for a doctor’s appt. Picked them up from school, helped them do their homework, and fed them. Now we are making cookies so they can take some home to mom. It has been fun!

  233. Rebecca Wheeler-Bruce says

    I follow you on facebook and shared there. I am praying about my service project….

  235. Hillary Dunn says

    I have already liked you on Facebook. I would probably use the money on groceries and then I would either coupon for items for the local Salvation Army or I would donate it to them.

  237. Rose says

    I found out Saturday that a family in our small town lost their house to a fire. Thank God, no lives were lost. They have 4 teenagers. I was told that they have received an abundance of clothing, but have little else. I have some small appliances and kitchen ware that is not being used. I have offered for this family to receive these items whenever they find a home.

    I will be donating my boys too small clothes and old toys to the Hope Center, a non-profit that helps homeless families in my area. And the gift card will go to a friend in need.

    DH and I are anonymously covering the cost of the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Dinner for a family in need. We know that they are struggling a lot right now financially; it is something small that we can do, that will bring the family happiness.

    I am a fb follower 🙂 I will be purchasing some clothes for a family member’s new baby. She went into labor very early and was not yet prepared for the baby’s arrival- she needs lots of help right now !

    This week I gave my time in counseling several college students on career goals, cleaned out my closet to give things I don’t use enough to people who need them, and the funds I have saved in my PayPal account to a Veteran in need.

    I follow you on Pinterest, FB, and I receive your newsletter. I gave some coaching advise to a co-worker on how to get an interview and get promoted. I spent time with practicing. She has an interview today! Praying she gets promoted. She is a single mom and really needs it.

    Last week my mom and I were at a baby shower where I had given the new mommy some hats I crocheted for the new baby. She commented on the texture of one and being an avid crocheter herself said, “I don’t do stitches like that but I love that hat. I wouldn’t mind having a hat like that.” Well, you guessed it, this weekend, she’s getting a hat like that!
    All there entries complete! Thanks, Kimberlee!

    I will be giving away some my daughters’ gently used coats to children who are in need of coats. Being a mom of five girls, I know how hard it can be to purchase necessary things for your children!! Hope I can put a smile on another mom’s face… The gift card would be given to a family in need as well.
