SmileMail: The Perfect Holiday Gift for Military Families

This Post is Sponsored by #SmileMail. However, All opinions are my own.

Nothing says family like the Holiday Season! Unfortunately, Military families all over are likely to spend the holiday season apart from their soldiers and/or extended family members and friends. It is always difficult to be away from home for the holidays. Luckily, ingenuity has made it easier than ever to reconnect with loved ones back at home.

SmileMail was created to bring the love of distant military families together in the form of a card. Their innovative design allows you to create a personalized voice message for your loved one that plays when the card is opened. The best part about it is, creating your holiday gift for your loved ones has never been easier!

A 2019 article by @thehill sited a survey conducte A 2019 article by @thehill sited a survey conducted by One Poll which found that 11% of Respondents have never left their home state . Another 54% of respondents have traveled to 10 states or less! 😱 We’ve personally seen in our family how the older generation grew comfortable staying in their birth state and never desired to travel or leave for good  but our time in the Military and passion for travel has encouraged us to change the mold and explore all 50 states and beyond .  ———————-
When we started traveling with our son and writing out our travel bucket list , International travel Was for sure on our list but we’ve never forced it . We’ve learned to not only be content but excited about exploring our own home country . The goal is to let the trip choose us and go where the deal is . One of my absolute favorite things about the United States is how diverse an experience you can have within the 50 states and territories.  ————
The point that I’m getting at is even though travel restrictions are growing and discouraging , don’t let it make you complacent in your travel journey . Don’t miss the opportunity for a new and exciting experience just because it’s not International. You’ll be surprised at the beauty you discover and how a city or state that wasn’t on your radar gives you the most memorable experience.  —————-
How old were you when you first traveled outside of your home state ? Also, what state/ city surprised you the most ? Leave it in the comments below !  •
