First, Happy Fourth of July. I hope you take a bit of time today to thank God for this country and the fact that you live here. I am constantly humbled to think of everything we have and the freedoms we often take for granted.

I love mail. To the point that I usually have one eye peeled toward the mailbox for the hour around when our mail usually arrives. Last week I missed the delivery and went outside to find a couple boxes waiting on our porch. One was for my husband who discovered Ebay a couple weeks ago. The other for me. I wasn’t expecting anything, so my curiosity was high. And the box was big, so I knew it was more than a book.

I opened the box, and there was a house shaped box inside. Inside that sturdy box was a pack of swiffer dusters and a party pack.

Now, I love swiffers, but I was stymied. How did I get on the list?

The packet was styled the Ulimate Party Tool Kit and came with tips for cleaning the house quickly for unexpected summer guests as well as menus and recipes.

Eric’s convinced it’s their idea of guerilla marketing. I’m still trying to figure out where I asked for it. Until then, I’ll still enjoy using them, and my ceiling fans are much cleaner.

What kind of crazy things have appeared in your mailbox or on your porch unexpectedly? I can’t wait to hear your stories!
