Media Monday: Media & Friendships

This is going to have to be short and sweet because I need to get to bed. Today is the first day in several days that I have been able to get on the computer.


To me facebook friends are not always 'real' friends. I have the people that I'm close with that I actually invest time in but then there are the people that are more like acquaintances. I have thought about deleting everyone that is not really a friend but for some reason I just feel like I should keep everyone on there. 


I have discovered that friendships on facebook can be good and bad. 


GOOD:

  • Easy way to keep in contact
  • Easy way to stay updated with other's lives
  • Able to know specific ways to pray for people
  • Reconnecting with people from the past
  • Chatting with friends while doing some computer work
BAD:
  • Sometimes to much contact is a bad thing
  • Gossip can start because of the status updates
  • Instead of praying for people jealousy of what others have can take over
  • Reconnecting with the wrong people from the past (ex's that might be tempting)
  • Chatting instead of getting work done that needs to be done whether on the computer or in the house
  • Spending to much time on the computer and neglecting family
These are just a few of things that could happen with all the social media out there. Many of these have happened to me in the past but as I grew to learn about them I made changes to make sure that I'm going what is right by God and His will for me.

So check what you are doing daily/weekly/monthly and make sure that you are happy with all the choices you are making and if your not then change them. It's worth it!

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
