Sending my husband care packages during a 15-month hardship tour quickly became one of my favorite ways to pass the time while he was away.
Thanks to my Pinterest addiction and hoard of craft supplies making the packages was fun. The girls and I decorated and filled each box with as much love as it could hold.
When he’s gone, we send care packages for every occasion and some just because: birthdays, Christmas, bath-themed, Valentine’s Day, animal print themed, Father’s Day, summertime – you name it!
Here is where I share my favorite care package tips, tricks, ideas, and inspirations!
