Being together is wonderful…but being apart? Not so much. Sometimes the hardest thing in life is not being able to be with the ones that you love. Every hard time is easier with your loved ones close by and every happy experience that much sweeter when you are surrounded by family.
The older I get the more I realize it’s impossible to be with every one at once. There’s always some one I’m missing, especially as my best friends (who are more like family) have left to travel Europe indefinitely with their kids. It’s painful not being with them everyday so we jumped at the chance to go see them this December.
The downside? My husband can’t go… He’s working and the kids and I are taking off to visit their cousins an ocean away. We’re excited, but will be missing daddy. A lot.
I found out about the HomeTeam app just in time! It will enable the kids to not only call and talk to their dad through an app, but also to play games and read stories with him!
I’m excited to use it, not only for our trip overseas, but to play around with it while there so that I can use it to connect with my neices and nephews who live there. I’ve been SEARCHING for an app that would be a safe way for me to be able to connect with them while they are gone and I think this might be just the thing. We can play games against each other, and there are lots of book options to read together too.
Every one always talks about how technology is tearing families apart and people aren’t connecting as much, but I see so much good with technology when you use it right. The fact that I can call up family when they are there and I’m here (or we’re there and my husband is here) and chat as if we’re just a room over is huge. The fact that the kids can hop on and play a game with daddy before bedtime is priceless!
You can even get a first month free trial when you Download on Android or Download on iOS, on your computer or tablet! After your first month it’s just $8.95 a month, which is worth every penny when it means bringing your family together when they are far away!
How do you keep in touch with family who lives far from you? Have you ever tried the HomeTeam app? You totally should!
