Fall care-package Connection
Connection comes in all shapes and sizes. If your college student is anything like my daughter, they love getting care packages. My two sons don’t gush as much about them, but when my oldest son was in the military, I sent care packages regularly. He could use or share the contents, and it helped ME feel closer to him while he was deployed. Sometimes the package makes them happy to receive it. Sometimes the package makes me happy to send it. “Six of one, half-dozen of the other'“ as they say in the South.
Connect with your launching big kid who is away from home by sending them some goodies. Amazon helps moms skip a step and avoid lines at the post office by shipping straight from my phone or laptop. Yes please!
