How’s everyone doing? Very sorry I have been MIA with writing, has been a busy few weeks. I hope everyone is doing well and we can talk about how I learned a few things recently.

Firstly, I got my oldest a phone which is something I really didn’t think I would do for a few years. She is turning 10 and she is ready. The real question remains if I am ready. She will not have social media on her phone but we added a new way for her to communicate to us when she’s not around!

Even before I got her the phone I’ve been thinking about technology and I have realized something about it that I haven’t before. Yes, I’m always learning new things!!

I realized that I say technology is bad for relationships but I’m going to amend this and say it’s only bad if you do it separately.

When you use technology to get closer, I’m all in. So let’s look at some ways technology can help your relationship.

Check ins

How are your rituals going? Are you doing your morning check ins? If so are you checking in with each other throughout the day? If not, sending a quick text throughout the day can spruce the fire, send an emoji or “I love you.”

e-cards

As with other rituals, no need to wait to send an ecard, lot’s of them out there to show you care, a kiss one, hug one, or just a wink, send it for no reason!

Reservations

Is it your turn to ask your partner out on a date? If so, send an evite and make a reservation to follow up! Have fun on your date!

Facetiming

If you can’t make time during the day, how about a face-time lunch? Can’t think of a better use of technology than that!

Safety

Do you like it when you know your partner is safe? It’s not checking up if they send you a quick, “I’m here now.” Always good to let someone know your coming home as well!

You Got This!

As with everything, make this list your own and use technology to your advantage! Have fun, flirt and use technology to your advantage.

How are you doing with your rituals? Do you have rituals of connections?

Let me know how you are doing and if you have any fun ideas on how to stay connected!
