Lent

I try to keep my blog with "light" topics, meaning I don't want to make people upset, mad or cry. I am going to get a smidge heavy, just a smidge. Lent is coming up soon, next Wednesday to be exact! I often thought what I would "give up" this season and I also thought what I would "give" as well. I am giving up my Facebook for Lent. I am needing a serious social media break. There was an article published that Facebook showed to make people depressed. I am not depressed but more annoyed and angry pretty much every time I read a status or see what is going on in a group I am in. Facebook has become an addiction for me hence why I have not been keeping up with my blogging. Ed and I are exploring business ventures so I need to focus on that and of course spending more time with my family. If you want to keep up with me, I do have a phone, email and a blog. Every Friday during Lent, I will not be on the Internet at all. I am hoping after Lent to not want to be on Facebook as much. I do realize for business and blog purposes social media is big so it is unlikely I will give it up for good. I am still thinking of what I will "give" during Lent. I will use the time between now and next Wednesday pray about what I could do.

Picture A Day

A picture a day for 365 days

This is a little self challenge for me. I feel like 2012 flew by and I don't have nearly enough photos of my little. I feel blessed to wake up everyday and live it! I also have started obsessing about Project Life by Becky Higgins. This is a new way of scrap booking/journaling! I always wanted to get into traditional scrap booking but just didn't feel like I was creative enough to make it truly a work of art. Project life to the rescue!

I leave you with some of my favorite pictures of Ike for the past 9 days. I will try and post my favorites each week. As soon as I can order the new Project Life binder and journaling cards I will update you on my progress.
