how does a mama survive a day packed full of errand running with three little ones in tow – throw a bit of holiday elving into the schedule, that’s how!
we packaged up this cute dolly and two coloring wallets when we set out this morning. each had a “free to a loving home” tag in their bag with the following message on the back ::we are sending this sweet handmade toy out into the world hoping it finds a special child to live with.
happy holiday wishes,
from erika and her little elves~
the dolly was left at the library, next to the bike rack.
the blue spaceship coloring wallet was left at a city bus stop near an elementary school.
and the black apples and pears wallet was left near the entrance to the health and welfare department.
we had a ton of fun looking for places to drop the toys. we had a long discussion about helping others and how blessed our family is. we hope we made someone’s day a little brighter. we completed our errand running without a single whine or complaint.
we can’t wait to do it again!
