Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. My kids and I are trying to collect a post card from every state. I've emailed all the friends and family that I can think of that live out of state but I'm nowhere NEAR covering all 50 states.
Most of you probably know that we homeschool our kids so this is a project we'd like to do in order to teach them the names of the states. We will be studying the states as we receive post cards. Unless of course they all come at once. Then we'll put them in our binder for later use. In the end, we'd like to have a binder with a post card from each state.
If you happen to live out of state or are traveling out of state and would be willing to send us a post card, please let me know. The only requirement I have, unless I already know you, is that you must have a blog that I can check out just to make sure you aren't a crazy person. I'm sure you're not, I just want to make sure before I send you my address. ;)

A Great Idea!
I had to hurry and write this (at midnight:45) so I wouldn't forget. My sister-in-law was at my house today watching the Utah vs. TCU game while our hubbies were attending the game. Sadly, the Utes lost... by a landslide! But, better luck next time, right? Let's hope so.
While she was here, she told me about something that she has going within her ward. I thought is was such a great idea! There's a group of 4 ladies (she is included) in her ward that get together once a week and help each other. What a novel idea, no? They rotate homes and whatever the hostess needs done on her week, they do. It can be anything from painting a wall, cleaning a house, sorting recipes, pulling weeds, folding clothes, etc. If the hostess doesn't have anything in particular that needs to be done, they can just get together for a couple hours of scrapbooking or something of the sort.
It's simple, really. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones I never think of on my own. And simplicity is sometimes perfection. Why do we always try to make things more difficult than they need to be?
I just loved this idea and had to share!
