One of the other posts got me thinking about this again. I did once before but never posted.

Is it a possibility that we could set up pen pals for our children amongst ourselves, without involving Momsview directly, sort of like the secret santa thing? Or is there a security issue that I'm not thinking of that makes this not the safest thing to do?

I would even be willing to handle it, maybe even set up a small questionnaire type thing to match kids ages and interests if possible.

Would anyone be interested? No harm done if no one would want the hassle of this, but thought I'd ask.

I have a dd(10) and a ds(7 on 7/30) that would definitely be interested in writing letters back and forth and maybe even sending little things, like postcards from this area, a pack of stickers once in a while, etc.

Adena,

I just went back and read it. I had no idea our kids are the same age! My dd just turned ten on 7/18! Wow, small world! I'll e-mail you in a bit!

My kids would be interested in this. DD age 10 (7/19)and DS age 8 (6/2).

Adena - My DD turned 10 on 7/19. How neat.

Lots of June birthdays! To think, we were all in labor around the same time! LOL!

I'm hoping that more people will be interested. If not, my two will be happy to write to two different people each.

Duh, I just was thinking about this post, and I thought "Did I say "June" birthdays?" You guys must think I am nuts or something! I meant to say lots of "JULY" birthdays! LOL!

Sounds good...I'll give it a couple days to see if anyone else wants to get involved and then we'll try to work something out!

Bumping up one more time, and then we'll get everyone sorted out who wants to be involved.

I have a 10 yr old ds and a "young" dd who is 13, I'm sure that they would be interested in pen pals too.

By Missbookworm on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - 12:33 am:

I have a 10 year old ds and a 7 year old dd and a soon to be "young" 15 year old son who may be interested.

I think my two youngest will be interested, I'll ask them tomorrow and I'll ask my oldest when he's home from out of town visiting his grandparents.

I'd love to have a penpal!! I'm 31, december baby etc. etc. I had one as a child and would love to do it again. *is hoping for more than just another email buddy. Anyone interested?
