I asked my waitress if I could buy him a meal and our waitress said of course you can. Long story short this man was and continue reading...

Zelienople/Harmony/Cranberry Twp are right in a row and share a school district. Anyway to my story... We live continue reading...

One of the Best Birthdays Ever
I spent my birthday doing random acts of kindness and handing out Emma's cards. It was one of my favorite birthdays ever. Such a fun, rewarding day and I hope she was looking down when we cookie bombed the bank teller. That was my favorite one of the whole day. My boys and I were cracking up. continue reading...
A bad day turned around
Today (August 10, 2016) started out as a HORRIBLE day. Today is what would have been my grandpa's 85th birthday (he passed away July 14, 2015).

Target Randomness
My son has been touched by Emma's story. We talk about her all the time, although we never got to meet her in person. One day, he took a huge handful of tootsie rolls to target and while i was in the customer service line, began handing out one tootsie roll to each person and sharing Emma's story. continue reading...
