**I haven't been as active on postcrossing since the twins were born, but I look forward to getting back into the groove.**

I am a mom of 3 beautiful children. My son Everett is 8, and the twins Lily & Maisie turned 2 in September. Everett has mailbox FULL of beautiful postcards that we have received over the years - both official cards and many more received from tags and swaps on the forum. He takes them out and looks at them regularly. I hope that Lily and Maisie will also show the same interest as they get older.

Anything that you send us will be treasured (and likely fought over hahaha). If you would like ideas about what to send please continue reading - but please know that I deeply appreciate any card that finds its way into my mailbox, I love getting happy mail.

Everett loves fast cars and riding his bicycle. He watches motor racing (F1, Indycar) and loves the bike races like the Tour de France. He is becoming a very good reader and is now able to read the messages written on the cards, not just look at the pictures. He recently discovered Pokemon, and is a bit obsessed! Both girls love farm animals, cats, and dogs. Lily likes the birds and squirrels that come to our bird feeder and Maisie likes watching for the school bus that comes to pick her brother up every day. Anything pink and or sparkly would be enjoyed very much.

I enjoy illustrated postcards of birds, botanical drawings, animals, fairies and gardens. I especially love illustrated or pictorial postcards that show your local landmarks or foods, letterpress cards, and shaped postcards of any theme. I love sending and receiving cards from Lantern Press and Loupaper, Wild Animals of the World, national parks, blue cats, and I am always looking for new series of postcard boxes to enjoy. Please send any card that makes you smile.

Both Everett and I really enjoy looking at all the different stamps we have received. We bought a little blacklight and we love looking for hidden secrets on the stamps.

I have accumulated quite a large selection of US postage over the years, and recently found the most amazing vintage stamp broker in my city. I am happy to swap stamped cards with other postcrossers, you are welcome to send me a message 😉

Thank you so much for sending something to us! 😁😁
