Being a faraway grandmother is tough – and I got no advice from family or friends because they didn’t have grandkids far away. Somehow, since I became a grandmother, I have muddled through, and I’m happy to report that I have strong and loving relationships with my four grandchildren. Such joy!

Long-distance grandparenting takes more than love. It takes a plan. I’m happy to share my advice, ideas, and suggestions so you can connect with your grandchildren. Remember, you don’t have to miss out on their childhood, or settle for an occasional phone call or birthday card.
