i sent my son a box of valentine goodies and treats today... yea me. lol

doing stuff like this is beyond me, but every year i get the boys a little box of candy. this is the first year son is at university. i filled up a box of some shirts, GS cookies he didnt get this year, a huge box of candy and a stuffed, little teddy bear. over the years he has kept all the stuffed animals i have gotten. he even took one with him to university. he isnt too concerned how others may interpret his want of his stuffed doggie.

he is having a hard time this semester. the first semester did not seem as tough, being away from family and friends. this semester, only a month in and he is calling often.

sigh.... sometimes it is hard. and what we survive, we are just that much stronger. i say to both him AND myself.





i am so not a june clever mom. lol. looking for an image, i see, ... getting an old box and stuffing a bunch of random stuff in is not the creative clever way. ah, i was always faced with those moms that created so perfectly and loved it. so not me, and boys got it. and still appreciated what i did. but man, i am impressed with those women. my mom was one.

i did get some ideas about a health food package to send next month. i can learn

and since i took the step to actually go to post office and mail a box off, i can do again, and again, and again.

i am kinda excited now.

another yea.

and just a random OP, cause i can

nope he won't care how it's wrapped. Not at all.

You are a good mom, seabeyond. It's about what is inside, not the packaging. Never has been never will be~
