Operation Baking GALS: Round 17

Almost ever since I've become a part of this little world of blogging, I've seen this button here and there but never really stopped to think what it's all about until recently.

I'm sure you're aware Baking GALS is a group of people who bake homemade goodies and sends it to military men and women who are currently deployed.  

my forearms look a lot like hers

I joined Beantown Baker's team for round 17 that is mailing their goodies between March 1 and 10.

In my boxes I included the Ranger Cookies like I made a couple weeks ago.  

And also some Magic Cookie Bars.  (oddly enough, I've never made those)

I hope they travel well!

Here are my boxes packed and almost ready to go.  I also include a few little goodies like toothbrushes, chapstick, slim jims, twizzlers, and what have ya.

You know you can order these flat rate boxes from the post office for free, and you can pack anything (legal) in them and mail them for $11.95.

And one of the boxes will include this sweet little note from my daughter.  

Isn't that just the cutest?
When I think of the sacrifice these folks make, I really have a hard time wrapping my mind around it.  It leaves me feeling humbled, and very grateful.
