    Hi everyone. We have two daughters, Morgan (almost 12) and Maddie (almost 9). I would love for them to have a penpal to write to from another area of the U.S. I thought this would be a good way to encourage writing, work on geography, etc. Let me know if you would be interested!

    I have a daughter Madison-almost 9 in July. She loves writing to people, so we would be interested. We live in IL near Chicago.

    Jojo,

    We live in Harrisville, about 40 minutes north of Watertown, heading toward the Adirondacks. Familiar with it? Let me know where you live!

    Rachel,

    Madison is very excited! Her face just lit up with the prospect of it! This is such a great idea! I may even have my 5 yo Cali write a little note, too, so she can be involved. We will try to get a letter out this week or next.

    Thanks, Faith 🙂

    Michelle,

    Maybe we could exchange addresses as well. My DD are almost 9 and 5. It would be fun to have penpals from all over the country! Madison-9-already writes to her great-aunt in Texas and my cousin in Hawaii. She is interested in CO because her American Girl doll, Nicki, is from Colorado. Let me know.

    Faith 🙂

    My daughter is 13, we live in North Georgia. She has been involved in competition gymnastics for 5 years and has recently retired. So she is finding a lot more time on her hands. (She’s used to being in the gym 3-4 days a week, 4 hours each day!) When I mentioned this her face lit up! So I’d love to find a penpal too!

    This is a great thread

    Ladies, this is so cool that your girls are going to write to one another, my son has pen pals in the UK! However, I don’t think it is wise to be sharing your children’s names, ages and addresses here on a public forum. You should probably private message each other and ask Doug to delete the posts with all the personal info, just to be on the safe side 😀

    We live in the Northeast Georgia Mountains and our daughter is 10. She would love to do this. Email me offline if one of your daughters is interested in some mail from us. [Edited out e-mail address to protect your privacy. You can use the private messaging feature to make arrangements.]

    Great Idea!

    Mamasong, very good point. I’m not sure how to request that Doug remove previous posts though??? I will try to respond privately.

    I went back and edited the posts with private information. Although we probably won’t stop anyone from posting personal details if they really want to, we highly recommend against it.

    We do our best to inform and protect you here so our forum remains a safe and pleasant place. Do keep in mind that it’s viewable by the public all over the world. And please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need help. I’m always available by private message or by e-mail at doug@you know where. 🙂

    Rachel-

    I know that this thread is a little older, but just wanted to share!!  I have three sons (almost 14, 10, and 9) who also leave near Watertown when they are with their mother.  They are in Evans Mills, right outside of Fort Drum.  It’s amazing how small of a world it really is!! 🙂
