PenPalz! We sent out August’s postcards from Sicily, Italy!
Specifically…. Catania/Mt. Etna where we live now!
I have no idea how long it’ll take for them to ship from Sicily back to you in the U.S…. so tag us on Instagram when you receive them!
Here is the process each month month…
- We find the postcards
- Kids pick out the postcards
- Mommy labels the postcards
- Kids each get a stack and get to work (it usually takes us 3 days to finish them all (because kids are easilyy distracted ))
- We talk about most of our penpals, who they are, if they have kids, the letters they sent back to us, etc.
- We talk about how fun it is to share our adventure and pictures of the fun places we travel with friends back in the States.
- One of the kids randomly draws a postcard as the person who gets a special box from the spot!
- This month’s is a few things we found in the market, and a few Sicilian things we found in the NEX. (They have a section of the NEX that is all from local artists and its really awesome stuff).
- We ship it out before the end of the month! I’m ahead of the game with getting them out on the 26th this month We are able to ship it out via the USPS on Base here!
- Hopefully it brings a smile to your face!
Next month we might be able to visit 2 different countries… so we’ll see where we choose to get postcards from then!
