How You Can Maintain Long Distance Family Relationships

Sponsored Post¦ When you live a long way from your family (or friends!) there is no longer any justification for not staying in touch.  Take a look at all of the technological advances that have made staying in touch with family members who live in other countries so much easier.

Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary (yay!) For the first time, I’ve actually managed to write about my wedding on the blog as I’ve kept planning to every June since Autumn was born.
