Turkey Treats

November 12, 2015 by EmmasDad Leave a Comment

I’ve been a follower of Mylitter on Facebook for quite some time now. The moment I heard of Emma’s passing, I felt like I had lost a family member. I read Tiffany’s post everyday and very seldom do I NOT cry with and for her and the family. Reading about how much Emma loved her Littles and the random acts of kindness she was all about. I knew I had to do something in her memory.

I’m currently recovering from shoulder surgery and still have 5 more weeks ahead of me. My loving mother has come to stay with me during this time and help around the house and with my three year old son.

With both of us being the crafty ones we are, I knew I wanted to do something with her to help pass the time. Enter “Turkey Treats”. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to do something for the “Littles” in my son’s daycare class. So with a few empty toilet paper rolls, construction paper, glue, crafting scissors, lollipops and TOOTSIE ROLLS!!!!

I also included Emma’s cards with each turkey treat, in hopes to give the other parents some inspiration to do a random act of kindness or pay it forward. God Bless you Emma and your family.

The Story of “The Flower Girls:” #itallchangedwhen My role models have taught me how powerful kindness is and how far a little kindness can go, so when I became the role models of my little sister and her friend, I made them my priority. I became determined to be that positive role model they needed.continue reading…
