Now Is The Perfect Time To Bring Back Snail Mail
Boxes of wrinkled letters are treasures of a bygone era. The thrill of running to the mailbox looking for responses from our summer penpals or postcards from a far off place has gone by the wayside since the invention of email. Now that we're all settled in at home for a bit, it's the perfect time to teach children the art of putting pen to paper and for adults to refine their writing skills and send some love through the mail.
Don't worry if you can't get to the post office, you can buy an array of fun stamps online from the USPS. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
