| Fun and educational way to keep in touch with your little ones. My five year old, Kahlil, has pretty much known how to use electronics since before he could walk, but he absolutely loves checking the mail box and finding an envelope or postcard addressed especially for him. He asked for his own postcards to send me and his cousins, so I ordered some he can color along with Angry Bird crayons and multicolored pens. |

| You get to use pretty postcards & stationary. For every place I go I make sure to grab a handful of postcards and always send one to Kahlil, my Grandma Hermie (who has been all around the world herself) and other loved ones. Sometimes stores give out postcards as advertisements, which is awesome because they're free.99 and always look cool. I'm looking forward to also purchasing pretty stamps and maybe collecting them. |

| You get to practice your handwriting. I usually write in all caps, but since I started sending Kahlil letters I've been writing the elementary school way. I take my time to make it look neat and simple enough for him to read easily, and I gotta say they are moments that I am enjoying more and more. I imagine him reading my words out loud, and it makes me smile. I think I'll practice my cursive more when I write my sweet heart, Ryan. More romantic? LOL. (Image courtesy of fanpop). |

You get things in your mail box other than bills & advertisements. There's nothing like receiving snail mail and recognizing your loved ones handwriting right away. Emails are great, but there's something genuine and so thoughtful about someone writing to you. You're also more likely to keep snail mail than an email, at least that's the case for me. I still have birthday cards from my dad from when I was little, special heart to heart letters from my mom, neatly folded notes from friends in high school, well wishes during boot camp, and of course every single Valentine's Day, anniversary, Christmas, and random love notes from Ryan. I miss him so much!! Gonna send him and Kahlil a postcard right now :) |
