Happy New Year! (Days 21 – 31)
By Tammy in Everything on Dec 29th, 2009 | No Comments
Well, December and 2010 have both come to an end. That also means that my December Mitzvah Challenge is over as well. While my original plan to post every day re: the mitzvahs failed, I did succeed in doing countless “good deeds” that did not serve me in any way… and it felt good.
In...

I’m still doing the challenge and I’m still trying my darnedest to get in my daily mitzvahs. It sure isn’t easy though! I haven’t been posting daily, as I haven’t always had an opportunity to do what I would consider a “worthy mitzvah”....

Days 9-12: It’s the little things that count
By Tammy in Everything on Dec 12th, 2009 | No Comments
This mitzvah thing isn’t very easy. Some days, I’m just not presented with opportunities to do kind deeds… so I’m just doing the best I can, even if it’s just little things.
For example, many grocery stores and pharmacies give you the option of adding a dollar onto your...
Day 8: A sucker for the Snuggie and the Touch and Brush
By Tammy in Cool for Kids on Dec 9th, 2009 | 2 Comments
You may be asking yourself what the hell a Snuggie and a Touch and Brush have to do with kind/good deeds. Not much really… but the 5-yo is OBSESSED with both. Ever since he graduated from “commercial-less TV”, (Noggin, Sprout, etc.) to the commercial-laden channels of Nickelodeon and...
Day 7: Oh Christmas Tree!
By Tammy in Everything on Dec 9th, 2009 | No Comments
Monday’s Mitzvah was simple. I bought our family a Christmas tree… surprising the 5-yo and the Husband. What’s so “good” about that?
Well… I bought it from a place where 100% of the proceeds go to Children’s Hospital in Boston.!
Details? The place is called Albert...
Day 6: Toys for Tots
Just a quick update on Sunday’s Mitzvah. Took the 5-yo to Toys R Us to spend his birthday money. On the way in, we saw that the USMC was outside, Santa as well, collecting toys for the charitable foundation Toys for Tots.
What better way to do a good deed and teach the 5-yo about charity and...

Even though I don’t eat red meat, I enjoy a nice, thick, juicy burger just like the rest of you. So when I found out that a new burger (and sandwich) place had opened in Legacy Place… AND that that they served TURKEY and VEGGIE burgers, I just had to go check it out.
What is this mystical...
Day 5: Monsters vs. Aliens!!!
Yesterday was a day filled with selfless, kind, deeds. The biggest being the hosting of a ‘drop-off’ birthday party, with TEN 5 and 4-year old boys… for THREE hours. The 5-yo turned five on Thanksgiving Day… so we weren’t able to host his birthday party until now. He was...
Day 4: Yucatan Taco in Roslindale
No… I didn’t do a good deed for the dudes over at Yucatan taco… But I DID eat dinner there Friday night.
But first… Friday’s Mitzvah. Well, it was almost a wash. I picked up some fliers from my son’s old preschool — which I cannot say ENOUGH great things about....
