This Mothers Day will be different from any you have experienced before. With social distancing, you might feel a little sad not being able to see your families on this special day.
Technology can help!
If you already have video devices like the Echo Show or Facebook Portal, you are already connected but for others there are easy ways to get connected and best of all they are free.
Another extremely easy form of video communication which can be used with multiple members at the same time is FACETIME. However, this feature is only available to IPHONE Users
