The power of a stranger + the magic of Christmas combined creates the perfect time to share a gift with someone you don’t know. Listen in for a GREAT idea you can do this holiday season and it really doesn’t take any effort at all! 

1. Write out letters

2. Put them in envelopes

3. Along with cash, gift card, or you know what… maybe there’s nothing in the card at all. Just a kind note. <

4. Go find a stranger to give it to (which could be service workers, too)

This idea came from Chalene Johnson... it's so wonderful and I can't wait to hear if you and your family do it this holiday season, too!

Here are Chalene's example of the letter, however, totally make it your own, too :-)

Dear Beautiful human. Just a quick note to remind you that you are doing the most important thing a woman can do and that’s raising little humans. I know that it can be a bit overwhelming this time of year so I wanted to remind you that you’re doing an incredible job. You got this!

Now I don’t know if it’s you or someone you know who could use this gift, but I’m positive I was supposed to hand this to you. I hope you feel loved and encouraged! You have so many blessings around you! Merry Christmas, a stranger.

OR

This was meant for you. I don’t know if you could use this gift or know someone who could, but I’m positive I was supposed to hand it to you. I hope you feel loved and encouraged! You have so many blessings around you! Merry Christmas, a stranger

Dear Beautiful Stranger, Happy Holidays! Our paths were meant to cross today, I’m sure of it! This time of year can get crazy and busy and perhaps overwhelming for some people, but I just wanted to take a moment and tell you the season is all around you! You’re doing great things and I know you have many more blessings coming your way. I can just feel it!

Now I don’t know if it’s you or perhaps someone you know who could use this gift but I’m sure I was supposed to hand it to you. You are loved. Merry Christmas.

OR

Hi there! I’m not sure if this will brighten your day or if you are meant to pass it on… but here it is…

You are amazing and doing good things!

Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

And here is my note:

Dear Beautiful Mom. Just a quick note to remind you that you are doing the most important thing a woman can do and that’s raising little humans. I know that it can be a bit overwhelming this time of year so I wanted to remind you that you’re doing an incredible job. You got this!

Now I don’t know if it’s you or someone you know who could use this gift, but I’m positive I was supposed to hand this to you. I hope you feel loved and encouraged! You have so many blessings around you! 

Merry Christmas, 

A stranger.

Are you prepared when something happens to you? Who will be in charge of your finances, kids, and belongings? What type of funeral would you like to have?

While not the sexiest conversation to have or thoughts to think about, coming up with a plan and sharing those with your loved ones will be super helpful + beneficial to them.

As a mom or dad, you already know all the fun and not-so-fun times. You already get that you need flexibility. And sometimes with all the best of intentions things do not go according to plan. But what about those moments when you just need a little pick me up?
