3 Ways To Stay Connected With Family And Friends

in Just Yolo on 11/16/20

Sharing is caring!

The excuse that a lot of people use for not staying in touch is….LIFE. Yes, we all have to live our lives but we shouldn’t let that stop us from staying connected with our family and friends.

I have said that “People make time for what they care about.” It true. Just think about it……..
-Do you care about your parents? You make time for them.
-Do you care about your spouse? You make time for them?
-Do you care about your children? You make time for them.
-Do you care about your health? You make time to go to the doctor, eat right, exercise, etc. 
I could go on and on but you get my point, right? People make time for what they care about.

So instead of making excuses about how you can’t stay in touch with your family and friends, make a plan to STAY IN TOUCH. Don’t let miles or busyness keep you from staying connected.

  1. Put a reminder/alarm on your phone to call or text.
    Alarms help me so much! I always have my phone nearby so having a little reminder for me to text or call someone is perfect. The alert goes off and I get it done! It only takes a few seconds to text and phone calls don’t have to be long.
  2. Set up weekly/monthly calls
    As I said earlier, everyone has to live their lives but if you can set aside a time each week/month to call someone this would just be a part of your life. Easy peasy.
  3. Send “happy mail”
    Who doesn’t love receiving something in their mailbox besides bills and junk?? A letter, card, or care package could brighten someone’s day in ways that you didn’t even imagine.

These are just three simple things that can go a long way and help you keep a lasting relationship with people you care about. With how things are in our world right now, doing these three simples things could be huge.

What are some ways that you stay connected with your family and friends?

Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to t Fall Break was fun! Pictures never do justice to the views here in Colorado. It’s beautiful here!

I didn’t get pics of everything b/c I was enjoying the moment. We hiked at Chatfield State Park (beautiful Fall colors) and Rocky Mountain National Park to see Lake Haiyaha (Gorgeous lake. Saw some BIG wildlife on the drive.) We did a bike ride through Waterton Canyon (12 miles total). We played disc golf. We relaxed at home. We enjoyed Fall Break!

Time to get back to our routine. Back to school.

We’ll have more adventures this weekend I’m sure! The benefits of living in Colorful Colorado. Always something fun to do!

Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙 I was surprised b Hope you had a LOVELY day! 💙

I was surprised by how my afternoon went. My husband surprised me & the kids with surprises that I would have done. I’m the one big on surprises. My husband, not so much. 

From surprise balloons & gifts in the vehicle when we were leaving school to balloons throughout the apartment and flowers along with a sweet card for the each of us. 💞

The kids were SOOOO excited & it made me smile. 🥰

🎶What a mighty good man!🎶

Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️ Vegan chicken fr Tomorrow’s dinner done! ✔️

Vegan chicken fried rice.

Stay at home mom now elementary technology teacher. Yep, I’m a working girl. lol My first time back to work since my kids have been born. 9 years.

Going back to work has been an adjustment. We’ve found our new routine! I find that doing things at night or early in the morning is helping me stay sane. I want the house & all the things I did as a sahm to keep getting done. Not realistic. I lived & learned.

I get things done but some days after school, getting the kid’s homework done, cooking dinner, getting the kids to bed, I GO TO BED! I gotta take care of me so I can take care of them.

What are some of your tricks/habits that you do to keep your household running smoothly & your sanity? 😊
