My Sister’s Great Idea

My sister is a genius. When this whole “Safer at Home” thing started, she wrote my daughters a letter and mailed it. She thought it would be fun for them to get some mail every now and then. My girls LOVED it.

We have since started writing letters – obviously continuing to write to my sis, but also starting to write to the other members of our family. My husband’s side has a lot of older people in it. I keep telling the girls that writing letters used to be the way to communicate – even when I was a kid, calling long distance was a big deal. I remember writing letters to the friends I made at summer camp, and anxiously waiting for their response.

I am so excited to relive the anticipation of the mail arrival with my girls. Added bonus is that we get some fun stories and ideas for more fun through the letters.

We aren’t exactly going crazy on this project – just one letter a week or so. I can’t wait to see who will write back next!
