Love in an Envelope

I have to say that one thing that has been a huge encouragement to us the last couple of months has been the packages we’ve received.  When I posted the news back in February that we’d be able to get envelopes, I didn’t expect the influx of goodies that we’ve received.  It’s been such a blessing.  We’ve had a package almost once a week since then and every one of them has been met with cheers and smiles. 

I could use a lot of words and I would never be able to communicate all of the reasons why they bring such delight.  As I’ve said before, the fact that people remember us and that they are willing to share with us from their resources to encourage us means so, so much.  Not to mention, Easter is so much cheerier with some of those pink bunny Peeps!

In order to make things easier, I’ve decided to put a little package feature spot on the sidebar of the blog.  That way, I can keep an updated list of things that we could use, along with some basic reminders about how to mail packages.  It’s funny, as we explore more recipes and try to expand our options here with what is available, I’m constantly running into things I’d like to have.  The kids were missing breakfast sausage, that led me on a quest for sage.  Back to school time will have us wishing for new pencils and glue sticks.  Christmas baking will bring a longing for pecans.  So, I thought I would just keep a little spot that I could update without a dedicated blog post and folks who are interested in sending a package could then access it without having to scroll through the archives.  

Thanks so much to those of you who have sent packages.
