Sharing My Hearts
When my granddaughter, Alexandra tagged me in a Facebook group, the wheels started turning. The Facebook Group is Heart Hunters and this is their mission. “Trying to spread a little love and compassion in this time of social distancing. They wanted to promote social distancing while doing an activity with their children during a time when we must be so careful. It has grown into much, much more. Post hearts in your windows, on your doors, wherever you want. They can be made from anything (paper, wrapping paper, cereal boxes)-be creative. Not an artist? That’s ok. Many of us aren’t. Help to spread the love and feel a little more connected in these uncertain times. Make sure you share your pictures. Some can’t get out so these little hearts (or eggs or bears or whatever) are very comforting.” It didn’t take long for Lia to grab her chalk and head out to the driveway and she said, “I’m sharing my hearts with you.”
Hi friends, for my Friday Story Time by Lia, I’m sharing my hearts for all to see! Since my mommy found this terrific site to share hearts, I want to share a picture of mommy and me, I love her so much!
Now don’t laugh at how I’m dressed but GGmama had me put some old pants on that are way too short and I wore my bunny slippers so it didn’t matter if I got covered with chalk. Did you see the heart on my shirt? Okay let’s get these hearts beating!
Here I am coloring in the big hearts that GGmama helped me draw on the driveway. It was so much fun making hearts to bring smiles to others.
Look at all our beautiful chalk hearts! We even made a big sun to bring even more sunshine to everyone driving by. Good thing I wore my old pants and slippers, they are both covered with chalk now.
If you go by my GGpapa and mama’s house, look at all the hearts I drew in the driveway to share with everyone! Since I can’t visit my friends in person I’m sharing my hearts with them.
I’m going to stand here a bit and see if anyone drives by. Here comes a neighbor driving by now! I love to wave to everyone when they walk or drive by! Some even beep their horn as they wave back! Will you share some hearts in your driveway, windows or doors? We can all show love to everyone while we can’t visit with them.
If you want to see more of my hearts, check out my blog I wrote about the picture I painted for mommy and daddy’s Valentine’s Day card. I always love sharing hearts and smiles! http://themarthareview.com/my-valentine-craft-project/
Ok, As you know I am a dog companion NOT a child companion, BUT WOW, your grandaughter blew me away! I took Alice’s blog and ran with my own blog from hers- tomorrow I may just have to link up to your blog and give your granddaughter some hearts!! I am also not that much of an emotional crier but I am getting HAPPY tears in my eyes thinking and seeing your wonderful story! Is it okay if I include a link to your story as I continue the hearts in my own way?!?!?
I know how much you adore your dogs Pamela and your comments about Lia mean so much! She is one little happy, smiling, compassionate and loving little girl. I’m glad your tears were happy ones! Lia and I would be honored if you included our link. Thank you so much and glad your back in the challenge.
Love the activity for Lia!
Thanks Roy, we had fun doing this project and Lia just loves standing out front and waving to the neighbors as they drive by!
Darling!
Thanks Victoria, Lia and I had fun doing this project and it shows how much she cares.
I said, she is a little Earth angel. Like her mother and Gmother. So, cute and such a big heart for a little girl.
That’s so sweet Brenda, but yes she is an Earth angel for sure.
This one definitely tugged at the heartstrings. What a sweet thing to do! And what a darling little girl.
Maybe I should have had to tissue alert Jeanine? I forgot about that LOL
I love this so much, what a beautiful way to connect with others and each other. And your granddaughter is adorable. I’m planning to get out with 18 year old daughter this weekend and put messages of love on our sidewalk in front of our home. Thanks for this inspiration.
I’d love to see your messages of love Minette. It’s a simple but fun project especially in this time of uncertainty but with love we will get through it. Thanks for visiting!
such a cutie! and what a sweetie! made me smile just looking at the pictures.
I love when I hear Lia’s smiles make others smile. The world needs more smiles and love Kelly. Thanks for visiting and glad she made your smile.
It just stopped raining here and for Art Class C and I are making Hearts, Bears and Eggs to drop off to friends to hang around there homes.
What great projects for you and C to do Glenda. This virus has actually brought people together even though they are apart. We all need compassion and love.
LOVE THIS and your great Granddaughter! So precious. Thank you for sharing. You lifted my spirit!
That’s her plan Cindy, to make people smile and lift them up. Thanks for visiting, Lia will be back next Friday!
I’m so glad your spirit was lifted Cindy. I think God put Lia on the earth to do just that with her caring ways and smiles.
Love this! Our neighborhood has done the Bear Hunt, chalk drawings and will be doing a window egg hunt soon!! 💕
I love the idea of a window egg hunt! I’ll have to see if I can get something going around our community! Thanks for the idea Angie.
Awe another great posts. Those drawings are so sweet. 🙂
Lia has the biggest and most loving heart! She loves making people smile, glad you enjoyed them Amanda!
Love this. Give Alexandra a hug from me.
Will do Veronica. Alexandra and Lia both have huge, loving hearts.
