Have you heard of Kindness rocks or the Kindness rock painting movement. It’s all about painting rocks and hiding them in wonderful places for others to find and I think it’s a fantastic idea. In fact my daughter and I are going to be hiding some of our rocks near her school for kids to find. It’s going to be super fun.
