SPOILER ALERT: Valentine care packages for college kids ❤️💜💙

Sneaky moms gathered tonight over wine and snacks —each bringing a bunch of fun and Valentinesy things. Our creative and crafty hostess had picked up flat rate mailing boxes, tissue paper, stickers, gave us instructions, and let us gooooo! 

How cute are these!?! Thanking God for my village tonight. Sure couldn’t go this college road alone!

Even if you have younger kids, take them to your local high school sporting events! 

There are so many reasons to take them, and it is bound to be a really fun night (or afternoon!). 

My three reasons are here —>

This makes me SO SAD, @washingtonpost !! 

We can’t dedicate ONE PAGE to our younger readers? 

My children and students LOVED the KidsPost. Thousands and thousands of folks in the DC Area and around the world loved it. Loved it. 

I do not understand this move. AT ALL.
