Having done several of these types of moves, the best thing is to have shared things to do together which you’ve already listed! To add to the movie/TV watching, highly recommend Netflix Party as a way to *actually* watch together. Good luck to her!
Goodness Kuleigh, that is a lot of life lived in June! I hope your daughter had an amazing time at sleepaway camp. Two of my closest friends live out of state (and not close, either -- Arizona and California) and I think you hit the nail on the head already. Voice memos are an amazing way to stay connected as often as you want. You can send them to her as your own personal podcast on your morning commute, and she will respond after she wakes up and had her coffee, etc. It really does feel like you are talking to one another throughout the day and I know more about their lives than I do a lot of local friends / family! Hang in there with the transition <3
