Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
Staying Connected
Sometimes living so far away from the rest of your family can be difficult. Other than my husband and my children I’m alone in this state I call home right now. My mom is in NY, my sister is in FL, my dad and brother are in CA and I hate it. As my children grow up there are so many new things to share with my family, but things I can’t (or don’t want to) blog about or post on Facebook. I rely on Yahoo! Mail to share the special, more private things with my family.
Ethan and his Gramma send emails at least once a week. This has helped them establish a bond they might not have had if it weren’t for being connected via email since they don’t see each other very often (twice in 10 years). With busy schedules and high cost of travel this is the most cost effective and efficient way to stay in touch. Their weekly emails allows Ethan to let his Gramma know how he is doing in school and they recently started sharing photo slide shows (now in beta) with each other. Recently Ethan got to see great pictures of NY snow storms and he was able to share the Atlanta snow storm as well.
With Father’s Day right around the corner email is even more important for our family. Each year my dad get’s e-cards from all the kids. My mom said it totally makes his day to get so many emails in one day that he actually is interested in. Sending gift codes to his favorite sites is a great way to let him know we didn’t forget, because truth be told we all are horrible about mailing things. Aren’t you?
Staying connected couldn’t be easier with Yahoo! Mail. What is your primary use for email?
I feel the same way about email. I really couldn’t live without it!
I <3 email. I might be a little on the addicted side though…
Email is a great way to stay connected to those far away and I am very thankful for it as well! 😀
Bless that Yahoo email.
Email saved my life when I was in college and my parents went overseas! Now I can’t imagine a day without it!
