Technology Alert

 In so many (almost every) home there is some form of technology. It's every where, but to be honest it can be very useful. Everyday chores are made easier by having machines do normal actions  that would be a hassle. It's very efficient and gives you more time. Other devices such as a TV or Computer are definitely not needed but do make life more easier. It's definitely more of an opinion more than it is a fact, that most people use these entertainment devices too often. In restaurants you'll see kids or even adults playing games or doing who knows what. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but there are families out there that live in this "time" that would like to know how to spend more quality time with their family. Some people plain out just don't care and that's fine. If you don't care about how much time is spent on devices then you can just skip this whole thing. But if you're sitting there thinking to yourself "I wonder how I could spend more time with my family?" or "how do I get my beloved one(s) off the screen and into reality?" then continue reading. We'll look into ways you can transform your life from virtual to practical.

How to get off the screen and into real life
three steps you can take
1. Don't think about your device or technology. Think about who you're with and where you are at.

2. The reason you are on your device normally is for entertainment purposes (to cure boredom) so do not sit around doing nothing. Find something fun you can do with the people you are with. Start a game or conversation. Get your mind busy.


3. Break the habit. Lots of people have a habit of grabbing their devices when they are bored or just as a habit. Kick this habit out. Whenever you think about grabbing it, immediately think about something else. Maybe even walk into a different room/area.

These steps should help you get into the real world and out of the screened Matrix. If you have any tips you'd like to share please send them to us via email. Also Let us know if these worked for you. We love seeing your comments and emails!

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
