Such a cool thing......Andrew Carnegie built 2,509 libraries around the turn of the 20th century. Now Rick Brooks and Todd Bol are on a mission to top his total with their 2x2 Little Free Libraries. The little boxes are designed to hold about 20 books to borrow and enjoy. Each Little Free Library runs on the honor system, displaying a sign that asks patrons to "Take a Book, Leave a Book."

You've Been Egged! Fun activity to do with the neighbors/community. Take your eggs and fill with the jelly beans. Head over to a neighbors house and scatter them all over their yard. Take your “You’ve Been Egged” sign and tape it to their front door. Now for the fun part…ring that doorbell and run like crazy! Oh and don’t forget to include extra copies, so they can easily pass the fun on to the next neighbor!

This lady did 38 random acts of kindness on her 38th birthday. How fun! As I read through her list, I thought this world would be a much happier place if everyone did one random act of kindness each day. A new challenge, perhaps.
