When we moved to Wagga many years ago, we had a lovely lady do the same thing for us. She made a hamper up of paper plates, plastic cutlery, orange juice, coffee and sugar, milk and a yummy chicken casserole. We were so moved by this act of generosity. It made our first day in a new town, something to remember instead of a horrid day not being able to find anything in the boxes. It picked our spirits up no end. Good on you Catherine. I’m very proud of you.

My Mum used to do this all the time too, so I picked up the habit. Not so much for new neighbours now (we’re the newest in the neighbourhood), but for people we know who are moving, I’ll show up on moving day with dinner

That is so lovely of you Cath. At a time when we are really struggling with our neighbour, I am thinking I might move into your neck of the woods too!

I think that’s so kind of you — we just moved into a new house with our 6 month old and it’s HARD!

“I also want to teach my kids about love. I want them to know what it truly means to love people, and I want to show them that love is a verb.” Young kids learn so much from actions as opposed to just words.

I have been on the receiving end of such hospitality and when returning it to others try to have the kids participate if possible, so they can really understand what it is all about.

Lovely thing to do! (That was your nice comment)

I agree with so much of this – it is the simple little things, done form the heart, that will mean so much to others.

PS – did you nibble out the heart of the bread that you gave her too? LOL!!!
