🙋🏽♀️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏻🙋🏿♂️How many of you have loved ones who live far away and out of regular reach?

🗺 Most, if not all, of you know from my previous posts that my grandchildren are living abroad with their parents and as a grandmama let me tell you that it’s HARD!

🌊🚫🚙 I want so badly to be able to hop in the car and see them in 15-20 minutes.
_
👫🏽 I WANT them to know me and my husband as they grow and learn.

💰✈️ The fact is that I haven’t won the lottery and so I can’t hop an airplane every time I get the urge to see and hug my grandkids and I know there are a lot of you out there who feel this way about your grandkids (or kids) too.

💡If you are looking for ways to stay in touch with your kids or grandkids who live at a distance have I got a tip for you! It’s called WhatsApp.
This convenient tool allows you to text, call or chat by video with your loved ones at little to no cost. This has been a lifesaver for me as a person with kids and grandkids who live overseas.
🎉🎄My husband and I have shared awesome moments with our family that weren’t really possible for us before this app appeared. We’ve shared birthdays, holidays and just every day delights that money can’t buy!

There are other tools out there and believe me we tried them, but WhatsApp gave us the best affordable, real-time quality during our video calls and the texting feature allows us to send notes and pictures securely because my children and I are particular about what images we post to public social media sites as relates to my grandkids.
I highly recommend you give it a try and see if WhatsApp is just the tool you need to close the miles between you and your loved ones.
