Rudy Family Rukus~Parenting tips and humor meet in one big "rukus"

This year our family wanted to put more significant meaning into our holidays.  We were looking for new traditions to bring us closer together as a family and to also help others at the same time.  When I heard about how Scholastic and Kellogg’s® teamed up I knew this was a perfect way for our family to be motivated to not only serve others but also help us feel the true meaning of Christmas. The program we registered for is called Every Day is a Big Day.  As your family completes each Mini Mission™  you can earn free Scholastic books for your and family and a chance to win prizes for your school and community. You can visit  http://minimissions.scholastic.com to register your family for the Every Day is a Big Day program. As you complete each  Mini™ Mission your family earns 2 free Scholastic Books. Also as each mission is completed you are entered into a sweepstakes where 131 prizes will be awarded to schools and communities each month. Yo...

I am a blog stalker.  I admit it and I even post the blogs I stalk on my BLOG but today as I was catching up on the blog stalking I ran across a few things that sparked my interest.  I am extending a challenge to those of you (and to myself) who stalk or openly read here to LET YOUR HALO SHOW.  I know we all have them after all we are all children of God. (Don't believe me ask my 6 year old who gave a talk about it in primary).  This time of year in particular is a great time.  If you wouldn't mind comment on how you have or plan to show your halo.  I always need ideas for service and random acts of kindness.  Besides that it might make me appreciate my friends and family a little more so my halo could show a little too!

My sister-in-law is very thoughtful, always has been.  Thinks of things I would never dream of.  She found this blog and I read it and cried and quit looking at it.  Not her she added it as a link from her blog and is now making quilts for the children.  Go here to learn more w ww.quilt4nie.blogspot.com .  Please donate if you can.  It is such a great cause and I know we could all use the blessings from the service.  Please spread the word and feel free to link from your blogs to the site or my sis-in-laws blog HERE  .  Thanks for taking the time!!
