Long Distance Hugs

Many of us have family members or children who live far away.  While it’s hard not seeing them often enough there are so many ways to stay in touch.

Thank goodness for the technology we have today.  Phone calls are obvious and necessary, but now we can use Skype and social media to stay connected.

Here are some other ideas to make your family feel extra special and loved:

To keep supplies handy I added two slide rails under the tray to hold the plastic storage bin.  Your kids will have no excuse for not having everything they need and a place to study with this type of desk.
