Over the holidays, I saw many posts about RACKing (Random Act of Christmas Kind). It was too much for me to do in December, but I LOVED the idea! So, I thought about switching it up a little and doing a RAK each month!
I really wanted to get the kids involved too. You hear so much about the bad things that happen in our world - why not do something good (even if it is little).
Here are a few rules we setup:
- Do a monthly RAK for somebody we know
- Do a monthly RAK for somebody we don't know
- Can spend no more than $20/month for both RAK's combined
For the month of January, we did a Valentine's RAK for somebody we know. We included a heart mini-cakes pan, cake mix, frosting, sprinkles, a heart box of tootsie rolls and some heart sticky notes.
We bought dinner at Chick-Fil-A (the kids FAVORITE place to go) for somebody we don't know. I felt a little guilty about doing this because we have done this RAK several times before. But, we have just been super-busy already this month ... I have traveled twice and Brian traveled as well, so I slacked a little here. Next month we will try to step it up a notch for somebody we don't know!
Check back next month to see what we RAKed in February.
