60 minutes for a close connection, 20 minutes for a quick catch-up - and other FaceTime rules to transform your friendships

1 month ago | yahoo.com | Rebecca Corey

When Sara Stampone’s best friend from college moved to Hawaii eight years ago, Stampone wasn’t stressed. Although they would be nearly 5,000 miles apart (Stampone in New York City and her friend Sarah in Hawaii), Stampone says she was already a pro at maintaining a long-distance relationship with her family in Canada by doing daily FaceTime calls.

Children aren’t allowed at Toy Fair — which is just as well, because my 4-year-old would be devastated if she knew I went without her. The Toy Association’s 119th annual trade show, which was held March 1 to 4 in New York City, is a child’s paradise — a multi-floor labyrinth of over 800 exhibitors and gorgeous displays of every type of plaything you can imagine.
