A couple of my sisters moved out of state over the summer and we miss them. We have their address and have been wanting to write to them. Recently, we heard that one of my sisters was under the weather and we know that they are missing everyone! So, we decided to send them a care package and Halloween surprise! The best thing about Halloween is the treats, so Vanessa helped me make white chocolate chip cookie bars as a start to the package.
Once the cookie bars were baked we needed to add a few more things to the package. I received three Care Packages from Kleenex. I get to keep one of them and we decided to share one of them with my sisters.
Inside the package are Kleenex tissues, nose and lip balm and hand sanitizer. These are the perfect things for someone who isn’t feeling well.
Vanessa made each of her aunts a card and wrote a special note to them. Zack is going to draw a picture to add to the package and we will be adding their school pictures as well. We found some delicious hot cocoa packets to add to the box. I put some of the cookie bars into plastic containers to keep them fresh on the journey. I am freezing the bars before shipping them and plan to add an ice pack as well. My kids are so excited to send the package and we can’t wait to hear how my sisters react!
We always have Kleenex in our house and in our vehicles. Right now, my kid’s allergies are acting up so we’ve been using lots of tissues. The cold weather tomorrow night for Halloween will make for even more sniffles so don’t forget to keep some Kleenex tissues in your pocket like I will be doing! Now if I can just get my kids to share some of their Halloween candy with me, we will be doing good! No, really they are good about offering some of their candy to me and Brian. They don’t always want to share with each other but trading favorite kinds of candy is always okay. Anyway, I hope you have a fun Halloween! Stay safe and remember that if you want to send your own Kleenex Care Pack to someone who needs a little care, purchase a Kleenex brand bundle pack and redeem the code on the box at Kleenex.com. You can find out more information on the Kleenex Facebook page.
Who do you know that could use a care package?

You’re sweet. I always think about doing things like this, but it rarely materializes. Thanks for the good ideas–maybe I’ll actually DO it! There’s always someone that needs a pick-me-up.

That’s not true…you are always doing sweet things for other people! Now that the wedding is over and the cold is settling in there is all the more time for this kind of thing.
