I have a handful of work travel coming up - first time I’ll be consistently gone with my little one at home. I’ve done a few 2-3 overnights in the last year but they’ve been very spread out.

Advice on staying connected to family - specifically my toddler - while away? (Think 7-10 days away, every month.) I do FaceTime as much as possible but work schedules often conflict, leaving me to send them video messages.

Appreciate the advice from one working mom to another!

This is so sweet and so hard. We got my 4yo to put little cards in my luggage for me to find in my suitcase. Could be like a little scavenger hunt for you to show what you’ve found. Otherwise, keep up with the FaceTiming and video messages. Sending love❤️❤️

Oh, how sweet. I love this idea! Thank you!

I’ll sometimes take one of my kid’s favorite books to read with me and do story time over FaceTime. Their face when they see the book - so surprised!

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.
