7 years ago, our family of 7 moved to a small home on the prairie. Our goals were lofty - to live frugally, become more self reliant, grow as much of our food as we could (sourcing the rest locally), and in general, learn to live in a more sustainable way. In an exciting twist of life events, we recently moved "home" to the coast and are adapting our lives and goals to a completely different climate and landscape. Join us as we continue on our journey!

Care Package
3 hours baking 3 kinds of cookies = ONE happy son
Sent via Ian's friend who decided to join him in the Land Down Under!
That is so nice they will be hand-delivered! He will love them! I just sent my son a care package (he had his wisdom teeth out at the coast guard academy...makes it easy on me..) but I sent nothing homemade. I'm a bad mom! love,andrea
Sherrie, the goodies look delicious....I do hope for the boys sake and all your hard work; that the care package passes through customs.. Australia has very strict rules on what is allowed into the country...(I know even seeds on a necklace are prohibited in case they are viable)...I'm worried for you that they are not a commercially packaged food and won't be passed through....for more information on what can come into the country...go to this link and choose Australia http://auspost.com.au/apps/international-post-guide.html I do hope the boys get their lovely taste of home though...I'll be thinking about this now, until I hear otherwise.
The cookies arrived safe and sound and were devoured in short order! I used my food saver to vacuum seal them and they were not tampered with, fortunately. WHEW! :)
Oh yum...that's all i have to say!!
ReplyDeleteHome baked goodies are the best things to send. They can always look at pictures but they can't taste home unless you send it.
