Today is our last kind act to mark Etta’s last day on Earth with us. We wanted to do something special to honour our little girl and this seems a fitting tribute. We have decided to sponsor a child from a developing country to receive paediatric heart surgery via the Healing Little Hearts charity. JustContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 28”

Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 26
Today we went to Bristol to drop off some care packages for the families who are staying in Paul’s House (the family accommodation provided by The Grand Appeal charity) over the Christmas holidays. We know exactly how surreal it feels to be in hospital over the festive period and there must be even more challengesContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 26”

Today’s kind act was simply to smile and say hello to as many people as possible today. I think after yesterday’s news a lot of people aren’t feeling cheerful. We are not in tier 4 here but I know lots of plans have been ruined regardless of what tier you’re in. I didn’t particularly feelContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 25”

Today’s kind act began this morning in our pyjamas! Ezzie and I decorated some Christmas cards for the residents of the care home that is a few doors down from our house. I am really thinking of those that are living and working in care homes this Christmas- it must have been a frightening yearContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 24”

Today’s kind act is for two very deserving mums who both lost their little boys recently. It’s heartbreaking enough for your child to die, let alone during a global pandemic so I wanted to give them a few little gifts to show they’re not alone. I read ‘The Baby Loss Guide’ while on holiday afterContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 23”

Today’s kind act is for some of our NHS heroes. I know this year it’s been great to see a new appreciation for our careers who work on the frontline but for Sam and I this definitely started last year after Etta was born. So many NHS workers were part of Etta’s short life butContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 22”

Today’s kind act was a lot of fun! I helped out at the Trussell Trust’s social enterprise warehouse which meant sorting through loads of clothes donations. I was made to feel so welcome and even got a dupe of tea ☕️ Funds made through their charity shops support their aim of stopping UK hunger throughContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 20”

Today’s kind act was bringing treats into the office. I wasn’t in work today so today this fell to Sam who grabbed some goodies on the commute! However, apparently he was very upstaged by some delicious homemade chocolate muffins. Oh well- it’s the thought that counts!

This morning, Sam and I started writing Christmas cards and it got me thinking about all the thank you cards we wrote after Etta died- to all the doctors, nurses and midwives that had been involved in her care. I realised there were lots of other people I wanted to thank too. So today’s kindContinue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 18”

Today’s kind act was a simple one- we put a few coins in the parking meter so pay for the next person’s parking. I took Ezzie to the hospital the other day (because he shoved a popcorn kernel up his nose 🤦🏼♀️) and when I arrived I realised I didn’t have my purse with me.Continue reading “Better for Etta Kindness Campaign Day 17”
