Thank You, Mystery Friend!

Yesterday, we got an odd package in the mail.

It was a poster tube, with no return address.  And it was sent not to me, but to my children.

Naturally, I opened it.  It was a little complicated, as the contents were DETERMINED not to come out, and we had just had Five Guys for dinner, so we were afraid of touching the contents in case we made them smeary with our gross greasy fingers.  But eventually, the contents emerged.  And they were wonderful.

Four poster sized art prints, of little girls with empowering phrases.  I knew I had seen them online before, and a quick Google search brought me to the website.

Lovely readers, these are not cheap.  Somebody forked over a huge amount of money to send such beautiful and thoughtful gifts to my children.

And I have absolutely no idea who it could have been.

Obviously, it was somebody who knows all about my loathing of the Disney Princesses.  Obviously, it was somebody who likes me and my kids, and obviously, it was somebody with some means of discovering our address (which sadly, probably isn't very hard to do).

I'm elated about it.  I am definitely picking up some frames today, and these are going up in the girls' room immediately.

They'll look incredible in there.  I love that they encourage a wider variety of imagination play.  Little girls can pretend to be ANYTHING they want, not just princesses.  They can be knights.  They can be monsters.  They can be a bottle of shampoo if they so wish.  There is no limit to what they can dream, and these posters have REALLY made my day.  :)

Whoever you are, PLEASE let me know!  We're not creeped out or anything, we just want to thank you properly for your incredible generosity.

Thank you.  From all of us.
