True Stories - Keeping our distributed family in touch

Posted by Richard Kuhlenschmidt Thu, 04 Oct 2007 19:33:00 GMT

We are a very close family of seven adult children and our dad and are spread out all over the globe. We are using Famundo to keep our family in touch with each other and have found a lot of creative ways to use it.

Naturally we use the calendar to let everyone know if and when we are traveling. The Address Book is great for keeping the address and phone numbers of our mutual friends and family. We use the lists for projects that we are working on together and plan to use it for gift exchange help this Christmas. The photos albums are a real treat, each one of us uploads recent photos of our respective families. Thanks for making it easily for our family to stay closer!

As you can see by our Parenting Blogroll, there are lots and lots of blogs devoted to parenting children and the list is growing daily.

Now there is a blog specifically devoted to the care of the elders in your family. Caregiving Blog is a new site sponsored by Philips Lifeline, makers of the emercency response system for seniors.

Examples of some recent posts include:

• Backyard Rentals for Mom & Dad Get the Cold Shoulder
• Dementia and Those Little White Lies
• Elder Care Tip: Laundry Trip Ups
• Growing Options: Focusing on “the best choice” after Hospital Discharge
• Hip Replacement is…Hip
• Is it Time to Take Mom’s (or Dad’s) Car Keys Away?

This s a subject which is severely in need of a good information resource. Check it out.
