Post Cards Please!

I started this project with Gracie when she was about 3, and we have had the best time seeing all the places you've been! If you travel somewhere this summer, might you pick up a postcard and tell us all about it?! Kids love getting mail, and we track where your postcard came from, so we are learning geography, and now that Gracie can read she can read what you sent to her and practice her vocabulary--so really, its a win win!

You don't have to send the postcard from your destination, you can wait until you get home and have more time if you would like, but they are so much fun, and if you spot a card in a souvenir shop think of us. Just write a little bit about where you are, or why you were there, or what you saw. She's 7, you don't have to write a novel :) And, if you are like us and don't travel much, send us a postcard from where you live! We would love to see your hometown, and if you are from Strasburg, we would love to get postcards from "home" this summer since we can't be there in person. Or if you go to a local musuem, attraction or amusement park those are neat as well! And to our college friends--we would love a postcard from your University or College!!

Since the beginning of my project we have received 43 postcards, 7 of them are out of the country! I would love to keep it going, and when Thomas is older he will have more participation in the ongoing postcard fun. Of course, you can address the card to Gracie & Thomas and she will read it to her little brother as well.

If you don't have our address, email or message me here on Facebook and I will send it to you super quick! And, now that Gracie can write very well, you might get a postcard back :)

Thank you for thinking of us, and if you want to see all the places we have gotten cards from, click on our map!
