I’m Jane Schreier Jones, and I’m the proud and happy grandmother of:

  • • Charlotte, age 9
  • • Anderson, age 7
  • • Fiona, age 6
  • • Sebastian, age 2

The bad news: they live in Washington and I live in Ohio.

The good news: I have discovered some things about being an out-of-town grandmother that have made my husband and me happily connected to these four darlings who are thousands of miles away. This blog is all about how we have made that work.
