Service Collab February & Free Printable

I’m inspired by women who simply go out of their way to cheer a friend up by bringing her cupcakes when she’s had a rough day, women who leave their love a special note tucked away in his jacket pocket, women who offer to watch their neighbor’s 4 kids when she already has a bunch of her own, women who pay at Starbucks for the car behind them, women who look for opportunities to brighten someone’s day,
Women Who Serve.

I’m collaborating with some amazing women this year in hopes that I will step out of my comfort zone and bring more joy into my life by helping others.

Nat (Take the Cannoli)
Summer (Made By Munchie’s Mama)
Sadie (Simply Sadie Jane)
Corrine (Mint Arrow)
Tiffany (Rue Rococo)
Alissa (The Printed Palette)

We are choosing a word to collectively inspire other women throughout the year and we have chosen
SERVE
Every month on the first Thursday of the month we will have a post sharing who we will be serving that month
&
The post will have a FREE printable from Alissa (The Printed Palette). Yes, you read that right! I seriously keep pinching myself. Guys, she’s one of the most fabulous people I’ve met and she is offering a free printable every month for a year! Crazy awesome. We are so lucky.
THEN
Every month on the last Thursday of the month we will have a wrap up post sharing our experiences and what we did.
Write a blog post and come link up.
Doing a simple act of service goes a long way.
It’s easy, fun, and we will hopefully help some wonderful people along the way.

Review:
Beginning of the month, theme is given along with a free printable.
During the month, do something pertaining to that word.
End of the month, share with us and we will share with you.
Use the #SimplyServe2014

Every month we will serve different people. You will be able to serve friends, family members, your community, neighbors and people you don’t even know. We will let you know who we are serving each month and you will have a couple weeks to put yourself out there and do it. You can do 1 thing for 1 person during the month. It’s not going to take a lot of your time and it doesn’t need to be Pinterest perfect.

For the month of February:
SERVE YOUR LOVE

Does your spouse sometimes get the 1 more minute finger while you are on a very important call?
Do you say “I’ve got a headache and need to go straight to bed,” every night of the week because you’ve given all of your energy to your babes?
Are you anxiously waiting at the door to hand him kids, diapers, and homework because you need to breathe, maybe even go to the bathroom by yourself without pudgy fingers trying to make their way under the door?
My husband’s love language is quality time and I will be trying my hardest this month to sit and watch a TV show without surfing Pinterest, while also folding laundry, and putting it away.
Grab this fantastic printable here.
If you missed January’s grab it here.

We hope you will join us for a link up the last Thursday of the month, February 27th.
