Today is National Random Acts of Kindness day so I thought I would share with you some of my favorite ideas for today. You can do this as a big group, with a few friends, just you and your significant other, or get the kids involved and do it as a family! These are the moments that we can take to teach our little ones just how being kind can make such a difference in someones life.
