so if you do celebrate Lent...and give something up or do something extra what is it?
My husband gave up all liqour....proud of him cause there's no way in hell w//2 kids. I gave up wine and carbs. I'm allowing myself veggies and fruit but no breadish/sugar carbs or yogurt. Will be tough by next week I'm sure!! 
Re: so if you do celebrate Lent...and give something up or do something extra what is it?
I will go to Church every weekend during Lent and donate money to the church each week.
I have a really hard time remembering to go on Saturday, and getting out of the hosue on Sunday morning is tough for me too. It's also a challenge doing it with two kids who aren't usedt o going to Church!

we do something nice. I used to give something up but the CCD teachers push for the kids to do something nice. I like it :-)
Kieran gave up Marshmallows and will do some service activities too-
I am going to go through the house and find 40 things to donate- one a day- I am also going to try to not yell, be more focused and do the service activities with Kieran.
The Journey of Me
Vacation, 2011
I'm giving up all swearing. I really need to for my daughter's sake, although I've curbed myself tremendously. And I'm only drinking water besides one cup of coffee in the morning.
To be honest, I tend to use Lent as a way to break a bad habit or stop doing something. Almost a New Year's resolution type thing.
As for doing something, I'm going to try to see or call someone I don't usually once a week.
