Thompson Family Weekly Digest

Mom (Susan):

Your father and I just booked our summer trip to Maine! The garden is coming along beautifully - the tomatoes are finally sprouting. I've been taking a watercolor class on Tuesdays and loving it. Can't wait to show you all my paintings next time you visit!

Dad (Robert):

Fixed the deck this weekend and it's looking great. Caught a huge bass on Tuesday at the lake! The retirement planning is going well, and I'm excited about our Maine trip. Miss you all and hope to see you soon.

Sarah (Sister):

The kids are finishing up the school year with good grades. Josh won his soccer tournament! I got a promotion at work this week - finally getting the senior marketing position I've been working toward. Planning a camping trip next month if anyone wants to join!

Michael (You):

Work has been busy but good. Started a new project that's really interesting. The apartment renovation is almost done - new kitchen looks amazing! Had dinner with some old college friends this week. Planning to come visit next month - will call to confirm dates!

What Families Are Saying

FamilyPulse has helped thousands of families stay connected despite busy lives and distance.

David M.

Sarah Chen

Mother of 3, California

"My adult children live in different states, and keeping up with everyone was exhausting. FamilyPulse brings us all together each week without the pressure of coordinating phone calls. I finally know what's happening in their lives again, and they know what's happening in mine!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about FamilyPulse? Find answers to common questions below.

How does the weekly text prompt work?

Every Monday at 10am (customizable), each family member receives a fun, engaging prompt like 'What made you smile this week?' or 'What's your favorite meal lately?' We rotate through different questions each week to keep it fresh and interesting. Family members just reply to that text with their update. It's that simple!

What if someone doesn't respond?

We send a gentle reminder on Thursday to anyone who hasn't responded yet. If they still don't respond, the Friday digest will note that they were busy this week. There's no pressure - some weeks are hectic for everyone!

Can I see past family digests?

Yes! All weekly digests are saved in your account dashboard. This creates a wonderful family memory timeline that you can look back on to remember both everyday moments and major milestones.

What if some family members don't text?

FamilyPulse works best with texting, but for non-texting family members, there's an option to participate via email instead. The digest will still include everyone's updates regardless of how they were submitted.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account dashboard with just a couple of clicks.
