Media Monday's

I'm linking up with Women Living Well with her Media Monday's. I know it's Tuesday but I just read her post from yesterday as well as one from Raising Mighty Arrows who is also linking up.


I don't know about most of you fellow bloggers but for me the computer and TV can be a great way to escape and most days for much longer that I ever plan on. Then there is also the mighty Blackberry that lets me know every email, facebook, twitter, text message that I get and I can get lost in that not to mention the endless apps and games that are available.


For the next 8 weeks I'm going to long my  hours that I'm on the computer. I'm going to first see how many hours I spend on it and then I'm going to put limits and restrictions on it. Having a business that is online can often get me distracted and even give me an excuse to be online. I have to keep working on things if I'm going to sell it to anyone else. They need to see what I'm doing but I need to change that to making sure it is healthy for myself and family.


So today I have been on here way to much. I'm going to finish this and then I'm turning my phone on silent (not off just in case the hubs needs to get a hold of me) and I'm going to go read the Bible and have my quiet time with the Lord while Rex is sleeping. Then I think we will head outside to the park after he is up so we can get some of that great Vitamin D and social interactions that require actually talking not just typing!


If you are interested in doing Media Monday's head over to Women Living Well and grab the button and link up and take the channel to look and see if media is affecting you family or your quiet time with God.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
