It’s a cook-free (and dirty dish-less!) Progressive Party.
Throughout the week of December 5, we’re stopping by the blogs of family caregivers, dropping off holiday well-wishes and good cheer. Our party also includes companies that provides services and/or products to help family caregivers.
You can see the participating blogs and websites here. Simply visit each site sharing comfort, cheer and your story as you click along. Be sure to say you’re visiting because of Caregiving.com’s Holiday Progressive Blog Party.
Because no party is complete without presents, we’ve got prizes! We’re giving away a gift a day on Caregiving.com. Just post a comment on the site each day during the week of December 5 for a chance to win a present created by one of Santa’s special helpers.
We’re also giving away prizes at the end of our week:
- autographed copies of my books, The Caregiving Years, Six Stages to a Meaningful Journey and Take Comfort, Reflections of Hope for Caregivers.
- a copy of my newest book, Good Morning! Sunny Reflections to Start your Day;
- a $15 Amazon gift card from SandwichINK;
- a $50 Amazon gift card, donated by eCare Diary;
- a six-month subscription to CogniFit Personal Coach (Retail Value of $99.95) from CogniFit. In addition, the company is offering a special promotion–a free CogniFit assessment.

You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Let's disrupt together to make the world better for family caregivers.

Hooray! I love parties that don’t require cooking or cleaning! Or going out of my warm and cozy house on this snow flurry day as well. Perfect for many of those caring for elderly parents who need them home more. That was me a few years ago when my sweet senior dad was in the end stage of Parkinsons Disease. It definitely made for a tough holiday season when he entered hospice at Thanksgiving and went home to heaven in January.
God blessed us with friends and family who were able to come to us but still it was hard. At that time, I hadn’t discovered any caregiving sites like Caregiving.com and my site, SandwichINK.com , was just a “gleam in my eye and thoughts” so to speak.
Now, my senior mom and I are living together and helping with the grandkids, I am on the run all the time, so still not much time for getting out to parties. BUT thanks go wonderful resources like Caregiving.com, we are all wonderfully connected, and even having a delightful holiday get-together full of sweet cheer.
Thank you, Denise, for all your hard work providing this! Have a happy, merry and blessed Christmas to y’all!

I”m just getting over the flu….nice to have a party that I don’t have to clean for, dress for or cook for…yippee!!!! And I must comment – when you’re sick, it sure is hard to keep up with your caregiving duties!!!!! My husband can’t get out of bed without my help! It was tough around here for a day or two, but I’m now on the mend!
