At the beginning of the year, we sat down as a family and talked about some of the things we would like to do in the coming year to make our own family life and the lives of those around us better. One of the main things that we discussed doing differently in 2018 was actively looking for opportunities to lift others up. I stressed the fact that helping or serving others doesn’t have to be a big effort. Sometimes saying hi, sitting next to someone who is alone, or helping someone who has dropped something is all it takes to make another person’s day.
Most of the time, random acts of kindness don’t require any planning ahead or much time from the giver at all. Acts of kindness can include a text to say “I’m thinking about you,” a surprise raking of leaves for a neighbor, a batch of cookies for a friend, or a hug for someone who looks like they could use some support.
Just this past month, I brought a package of Pampers diapers and wipes to a friend who is about to have her second child. She had mentioned that she had plenty of clothes and supplies from her first child, so I figured that diapers and wipes would be the ideal gift. Random acts of kindness can reach to your community, as well. We love to take our older kids to a women’s shelter to serve meals a few times a year. We also participate in school supply drives and put backpacks full of supplies together for kids before the start of a new school year. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed visiting with elderly residents at a rest home. Another easy but very appreciated community service is dropping off diapers at a diaper bank or women’s shelter.
I remember how much a simple phone call or a visit from a friend meant to me when I was a young mother with little ones under foot. That adult contact was a lifeline! I’ve also seen how much a friend to sit with at lunch can change the entire day of a child who’s feeling lonely at school. Lots of us think of the month of February as being the month of love, thanks to Valentine’s Day. But did you know that February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day? What better way to show love to those closest to you as well as those throughout your community than to search out opportunities to bring happiness to others? 
This month, you can get an instant savings of $8 off the purchase of 2 Pampers products at Sam’s Club. Plus, you can get a $10 Sam’s Club eGift Card when you purchase $50 worth of Pampers diapers or wipes. So even if your kids are out of diapers like my kids are, you can take advantage of the savings to touch someone’s life (and get a little back for yourself, too!). That “someone” may be a neighbor who just had a new baby, a family member with multiple little ones (I vividly remember being there!), or a diaper bank (they can always use more diapers!). 
Head over to Sam’s Club now to take advantage of the instant savings and the eGift Card offer when you purchase Pampers! How will you and your family reach out to those close to you and those in your community on Random Acts of Kindness Day? I’d love to hear your ideas or things you have done in the past that have made an impact!
