Feel Good Friday: Do Good – Feel Good

July 9, 2010


**Join Me for Feel Good Friday!  Choose your prompt and link up!**

 

I get about 3 emails a week asking me to participate in something, or to host a giveaway, etc, but I always politely decline.


I write.  That is my thing.


However… about a month ago, I received an intriguing email from The Motherhood that piqued my interest.


On Wednesday, July 14th, 77kids by American Eagle is sending out 77 fabulous moms all over the country to spread good cheer and do simple things that will make a difference or make you smile.


Holy Cannoli!!!  Could this be any more perfect for me and Feel Good Friday?!

 

I jumped at the chance to help organize 7 Minnesota Mom Bloggers and get started working toward making people smile!!!!


So today I am super proud to announce that Team Minnesota will be at The Science Museum of Minnesota from 10AM-1PM on July 14th We will be educating families and doing activities centered around:

 

“Doing Good for Our Neighborhood”

 

Other moms across the country are also Doing Good and are organizing fun activities everywhere.  Please go to The Motherhood and see what is happening in your area.

 

 

Would you like to Do Some Good and Make People Smile, too?  Please help me “Do Good” on 77kids Do Good Day:

 

On Wednesday, July 14 I am asking you to do 1 of 2 things:

  1.  Write post about how you do good for others, or for your community, come back here and link up.
    • What kind of random acts of kindness do you do?
    • Have you ever paid it forward?  How?
    • What will you do today that will make someone smile?


     2.    If you can’t write a post, come back here on Wednesday and leave me a comment about something –one thing that you did  that made someone smile.


I am really excited to be a part of this and I am looking forward to meeting some of my Minnesota Blog Friends.  Of course, I will be writing about this adventure and posting pictures and I am even bringing my video camera to capture the fun


Just think, they will get to see me run in person… oh my!


Maybe by now you are wondering what is 77kids?

 

77kids is a new line of clothing stores for kids age 2-12.  They are opening new stores all across the country and celebrating everywhere!!


Here are their details:

77kids on Twitter  http://twitter.com/77kids  Hashtag #77kids


I have been stalking all of their sites and am thrilled to have another option to shop for Emily and Sarah.  They have a lot of cute clothes and great deals going on this month.  Not to mention the fact that they are organizing this event that centers around doing good for others. 


That just makes me smile!!!  How can you not love that?!


They are also opening a store here in Minnesota at the Mall of America on July 31st and I get to be a part of the Grand Opening!!! 


Do you think they will let me videotape my experience? 


So on this Feel Good Friday I am so honored that I was engaged by The Motherhood and 77kids to get the chance to do some good for others.   I am excited to see what is going to happen on this fantabulous day!!!!

 

And yes, I am being compensated for my time and effort, however all opinions are my own.

I am so sorry to be tardy to the party. We were scrunching in everything we could possibly do on our last full day here in Chicago yesterday. Big time congratulations!!!! I am so excited for you.

And I’m sure this line will be as great as American Eagle clothes. I love AE for their wholesomeness and their high quality, I’m sure 77 kids will be the same way.

They couldn’t have picked a more perfect representative for this wonderful project. You go girl! You’re doing it. I’ll talk to you tomorrow when I’m home sweet home.
