when we live so far * an ode to postagram

it’s no secret we don’t live near our family. we live in hell arizona, and they live in the beautiful big sky state of montana {jokes, jokes. kinda. it really does get super hot up in here…ps : i heart montana…pps : i don’t heart arizona quite so much. maybe just with the little tip at the end of the heart. there. i said it.}

*getting to the point now*

technology is amazing nowadays! i cringe to think what it would have been like to live so far from the family we love even 20 years ago. 20 years ago, i wouldn’t have been able to email, skype, facetime. i wouldn’t have been able to blog our daily life so they could have a little window into our lives or connect via facebook. we would have been able to send letters and call. and that’s. it. and i’m going to let you in on a little secret : i am NOT a phone person. i never have been. even as a teenager, i was never one to hop on the phone and get all giggly and girly with my friends. i’m a visual person, i would rather meet you and talk to you in person. i need to see your facial expressions and your hand gestures and your posture, so much is missed when you’re not talking to a person face to face. i digress *shock*

FACT : technology is amazing.

FACT : though technology is amazing, i and the rest of the world can agree that getting mail in the mail {like, the REAL mail} is still and always will be flippin’ AWESOME. seriously, who doesn’t like to get mail? seriously. who?

and guess what? i found an app that combines the brilliancy of technology and the old-school awesomeness of snail-mail. it’s called : postagram. where instagram meets postagram and makes a postcard baby.

download the app. make an account. choose your instagram image. write your message. send your postcard. see?

{yes, i sent myself a postagram. strictly to see the quality, NOT to get *fun* mail *cough*}

{have you heard that quote before? i’m in love.}

you can pop out the image if you want to display it elsewhere.

and i was actually pretty impressed with the durability. it’s printed on thick, glossy paper. durable enough to withstand the USPS 🙂

{i did not get paid to review this product…i just really like how simple and easy it is to help us stay connected!}

an easy, simple way to send *fun* mail to the one’s you love 🙂

cheerio darling!
