Baseball Care Package

Our family loves Baseball. We love football and basketball too, but there's just something about the crack of a bat, being at a stadium and enjoying a baseball game. Here's the thing... our family is a house divided... with all sports teams. We have lived in five states and all of us are fans of different teams. Because we have lived in Cincinnati for the majority of our time since having children, we became Cincinnati Reds fans... until almost three years ago when we moved to St. Louis, and the head of the house and my little man, became Cards fans! The girls and I have remained loyal to the Reds. Krysta, our oldest who lives in Tampa now, is a fan of a few teams. Reds first and foremost, then the Tampa Bay Rays and her all time favorite player is Josh Hamiton of the Texas Rangers. I LOVE... love, love, love to put care packages together for Krysta. I wish I could do one every week for her, but the cost of shipping is ridiculous, so every few months (usually a holiday) I send her and some of her friends essentials that she needs, snacks of different kinds, gift cards, holiday decorations, etc. So...I decided to surprise her with an Opening Day care package filled with baseball goodies. I got a text this morning from her that said, "COOLEST PACKAGE EVER!!!!" Made me smile. So... here's to a great baseball season for the Reds! oh and maybe the Cards... or Rays... or Rangers... or whatever team you are pulling for.

Care package in the making... Snickerdoodle White Chocolate Popcorn & White Chocolate Popcorn... Yumminess!!

The finished product: Peanuts, Cracker Jacks, Yummy Popcorn, Baseball Fun Facts, Reds schedule and plates, Baseball tin pails filled with baseball cards and snacks. :)
