Aside from letter writing, it seems my next "go-to" RAOK is offering to watch people's kids. Lucky for me, I know a lot of people with kids that need watching.
I actually helped out a friend today so she could help out another friend (so, kind of a RAOK ripple effect thingy going on). We love having this particular buddy over because he plays well with Thomas and Abby and is just hysterically funny in almost every single way. As it turned out, it ended up being a short play-date. I was just slathering on my first slather of peanut butter when his mom showed up. We couldn't send the poor child on his way when I had promised delicious peanut butter sandwiches for all. So I made my weekday lunch special (we have PB&J every.single.day). I really won't know what to do with myself if any of my kids have a nut allergy. Probably cry.
