Would any of you be interested in exchanging information through the mail with us about the area you live in? I know there are lots of "groups" online already set up to do it and it's worked for us numerous times that way.

But then I realized that with those of you on my "Friends" list, it would be even better!

There's a variety of states AND countries and I already have a vague idea of your kids' ages and hobbies. In other words, we kind of already know you....

I could "swap" with someone every 2 to 4 weeks (once or twice a month).

How it works is:
We'd get information together on the state we live in. That gives my kid/s a chance to learn more about the place WE live; the history, industry, etc. Whatever makes our area "special". We'd gather small, inexpensive momentos of our area (think pinecones and postcards) along with a handwritten note (writing skills), and/or a drawing (art), the information (geography/history), the momentos (more geography/history), and mail it off to you at the same time you mail yours to us. A small box or big envelope- nothing pricey to mail.

Then when we get "your" package, we'll have a lesson in History and Geography on your area.

Instead of a thank you note, we can post an entry (maybe with photos?) on our "package" after we receive it, or even have our child write/type it... What they learned, what they found interesting, what's the same or different, etc.

If you're interested, or would like more information, please let me know.

I think it would be great fun since you guys are on my Good List for a reason!

And if you aren't interested, that's ok. We'll still love you anyway!
