A little update

It hasn't exactly been a month, but I have a couple of pictures building up and I felt the need to throw them out there for you. 

Not only have I taken a break from blogging, but I was taking a break from all the social media we use (facebook..um I use Kenton's, pinterest and just reading blogs in general). 

I noticed something super interesting happen as I was on this break- my priorities changed. 

I have no prob with Pinterest, I really like it. But it was creating this "to-do" list in the back of my mind that was unrealistic..."Oh I need that thing".. "I have to do that in the house".. "I should do that craft with the girls" and so on. Then you look at your budget for all that stuff you just NEED to do and go, uh yeah okay not going to happen, then you feel frustrated you can't do "anything you want" and it's an annoying cycle. 

I stopped the cycle. For now. I still like Pinterest. 

Meanwhile, staying off of Facebook meant I stopped hating people. 

Haha, I'm sorry that's harsh. But honestly? Facebook is SOOO annoying and it literally makes you annoyed with basically everyone except like a couple of people or something, even if you tend to like these people in real life.  But then I saw cute preggo photos of my second cousin and was like "aww I love her" and Facebook redeemed itself for a total of 5 seconds until I was plain irritated I was wasting my life away sitting on it. 

Staying off the computer is really nice in general. We are just such a show and tell (and maybe show-off?) culture with our technology now. We show each other pictures and videos and whatever else so much on our iphones or computers or when we are just hanging out or at a restaurant. It drives me crazy. That's a rant for another day.

Here is what we did in the meantime...

Swing love.

Need a satisfying toy for a 1 yr old? Give her a toothbrush. Hours of entertainment.

Prepping the yard for new sod to be put in. Wren is a great helper.

That was a brownie. Even she noticed how dry it was. Begone, dry gross brownie!

Same with hard boiled eggs. Not happening.

Not walking yet, but took her first couple of steps (twice!) today :)

One of three dresses that Wren is willing to wear right now. Bedtime or daytime. Only 3.

Amazing hair. It's her way of saying done-just rub my dirty hands through my hair.

Shovelling dirt into our garden to get ready and plant.

Loving the new grass. So soft, so fun.

I can't say I feel like blogging again, I feels like a bit of a chore sadly. But maybe the weather is just so much more enticing I'd rather not sit and write and wait for pictures to load. 

So I'm sure I still will. We'll see how it goes.
