We just searched through old magazines to find pictures that started with a particular letter. I needed an activity to do with my 3 year old son during the day. We called it, “school time”. [...]

The days of technology are here and sending things through the regular mail are almost non-existent for me. With lots of family that live out of town, we now send personal emails for birthdays, Father’s day, or graduations.
