College Care-Packages: Food, Snacks, Treats
We worry about our kids when there not too far from home. Heck! We worry about them when they’re in the home! So when our kid(s) take flight for college, despite the fact that they may look like an adult, they’re still our baby. Hopefully, you’re not too old to remember that warm-and-fuzzy feeling when receiving a care-package from home.
