So... What's in the BOX?!

Excuse the terrible Seven reference... But I bet you're wondering, after Dan's guest post on Thursday, what the heck was in that box? You know, the one that was a bit more spherical than rectangular by the time he actually got to leave with it? Actually, here's photographic evidence and no, we did not open it.

So what was so important that we had to have it shipped from the US? What are the things that make us think of "home"? What are the household essentials that couldn't be located here in Accra?

• Honey Nut Cheerios
• Goldfish - Dan is obsessed with cheese flavored crackers, which is odd because he doesn't really like cheese
• Cheez-Its
• Shakeology
• A Dishwand with sponges (the one where the soap goes in the handle)
• Chlorox wipes
• Swiffer Dusters
• A Swiffer handle for the wet Swiffers that I brought (not pictured. If you're thinking "why in the world does she have the wet pads but not the handle, the answer is the handle is in the luggage that was supposed to come with us initially but got lumped in with the sea freight. So in a couple months I'll have two!!! Is there such a thing as too many Swiffer products? I think not.)
• Damp Rid - safety precaution with the humidity here so we don't ruin all our clothes
• Clinique makeup - yes, I had my makeup shipped from the States. Unnecessary? maybe. Sorry I'm not sorry.
• Popcorn kernals for the air popper
• Harvest Yankee Candle
• Worchestershire Sauce - because... burgers on the grill.
• Low Sodium soy sauce

And those, my friends, were the contents of the first care package. Stay tuned as there is another en route from the other set of parents with more American goodies!!
