FAQ

1. Where are you?
Sorry, no can say online. It’s for security reasons, so that may give you a vague idea.

2. What do you do?
I am a stay-at-home mom, mostly, but I still do graphic design part-time from home (here’s my Etsy shop, since you asked), and I just recently started generating a small revenue from my other blog, Simple Mom. My husband is a small business consultant.

3. Do you have photos online?
Yes, we have family photos online; please email us if you’d like to see them. For security reasons, we want to make sure we know you, and that you’re not just some psycho on the internet. That’s why we don’t have them linked directly here.

4. Can I send you anything?
We can find everything we need for survival here, but care packages are always welcome! To best ensure they get to us directly, please use a padded envelope, and make sure it’s no bigger than 8×12 inches or so. When you declare the items and value you’re sending, just be vague - something like “magazines, $5″ is fine. If you need our address, just ask around. ;)

5. What can I send you?
Here are some care package ideas, but feel free to be creative!

  • Ranch dressing mix packets
  • Goldfish crackers
  • Craisins
  • Bacon bits
  • DVDs - kid cartoons (Nick Jr. or Disney Playhouse shows, Veggie Tales, etc.) and any family movies you think we’d enjoy
  • if you have DVR, we’d love any TV shows burned onto a DVD
  • Paperback and/or lightweight books you think we might enjoy
  • magazines - house decor, travel, parenting
  • granola bars
  • microwave popcorn
  • chocolate chips
  • dried parsley
  • Mexican-related spices - chili powder, cilantro, etc.
  • photos of your family and/or kids!
  • fun crafts for Chickpea to do
  • 6-12 month sized clothes for Garbanzo
  • anything from our wishlists - here’s Kabob’s, here’s mine, here’s Chickpea’s book list, and here’s Garbanzo’s.

6. How can we financially support you, either monthly or with a one-time gift?
That would an enormous blessing. We currently need to raise about $200 a month, and we are also raising one-time funds for a vehicle. Get in contact with someone we mutually know to see if they know how to go about supporting us, or you can contact us directly. If you don’t care about the tax deduction benefits, you can donate to us directly as a family through Paypal. Click the link below.
