All growing up my mom made traveling super fun. If we were going somewhere as a family, she would plan things for us to look forward to. When we would drive to my grandparents house in Florida, she would have a special present for us to open in every state we would enter to keep us entertained in the car. If her and my dad were going on a mission trip, she would purchase us a special journal and colored pencils so that we could document everything we did while they were gone. I want to do the same type of things for my kids so that these times are always special. Since Chris and I are going to camp next week, I wanted to have something special for Isaac to have each day that we are gone. He gets 1 present, and 1 card from us every single morning! The only bummer is that I won't be able to see his face when he opens his prizes!

I love this idea! I decided to do it also so that my mom could give them each a gift from me while I am at camp! Thanks:)
oh my goodness! My mom did thee same exact thing. Since they all eventually left me, while going to CFL (Which i didnt understand at the time) my mom would pick a new thing everyday.although i loved the presents each day, it made me cry and misss her more.lol. but she even decorated all the bags and themed colors and wrapping paper-so cute! that made me remember all those times.
