Why not blog your 30 days and 30 deeds like Salam Hasan Ali?
(This is old but still very relevant and useful)
“I wanted my kids to understand that beyond fasting, Ramadan is about doing good deeds, expressing gratitude, and being our best selves; I thought that by keeping a blog we would stay mindful of these issues each day. The first year, we decided to do one good deed each day; the blog became ‘30 days 30 deeds’ (www.30days30deeds.com)”
