Ideas for Keeping Your Family Close at Heart, Even at a Distance

Being a new mom is filled with days of excitement, as you watch your baby grow so quickly each day. Yet, living away from close family and not being able to share this excitement can be difficult. Consider some creative ideas to keep your family close at heart, even at a distance.

Schedule a regular, weekly time to communicate with family by Skype or FaceTime.

Video your baby on your smart phone & send to family.

Create a photo album by using Shutterbug & send to family.

Encourage your family to take video, with short messages from them to your baby. Ask them to send the video messages & keep them to show your baby as he/she grows older. 

You will always be thankful you invested the time & energy in keeping your family close at heart by taking the time to include them in your baby's life.
