snow day, take 2.

We had yet another snow day in Virginia Beach, Virginia yesterday. I went for a walk around the neighborhood and caught the mailman in action!

Thanks for delivering the mail even though it was nasty outside and the roads were slick! Remember to clear the pathway to your mailbox to make it safe for your mailman to make deliveries.

merry christmas mr. postman.

I was on the hunt for the perfect card to give my mailman this holiday season and Hallmark did not disappoint! This card I picked up was perfect and stated exactly how I felt! I left this card and a little gift (starbucks giftcard) to show my appreciation for all of his hard work all year long and especially during the holidays!

Do you do anything special for your mailman for the holidays?

"See the mailman dressed in blue, will he bring a letter to you? He works when it rains and when it snows, he even works when the wind blows."

happy easter.

Wishing a very Happy Easter to all my letter writing peeps!

valentine's cookies.

My mom and I never need a reason to bake, but Valentine's Day is the perfect reason to get in the kitchen and bake our hearts out!

We loved how the mailboxes and postage stamp cookies with the hearts turned out! We can't wait to make more like this next year too. 

I even bagged a few up and gave them to my mailman for Valentine's Day! I hope he enjoyed the special sweet treat!

merry christmas mr. mailman.

I wanted to give my mailman a little present this holiday season now that we are living in a house and not an apartment!

I love to bake and during the holidays it is non stop around my house. I thought some delicious sugar cookies with a nice card would be the perfect little gift to give him, and even better because I had a mailbox cookie cutter! I hope he enjoyed them!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the mailmen out there delivering all of our letters!
