Wish I knew how to recreate that as an adult. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667533845958762064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16016785.post-13542392818505568092011-12-14T04:08:59.945+00:002011-12-14T04:08:59.945+00:00I have to say, as another mother of 4, with a full...I have to say, as another mother of 4, with a full time job.. I totally agree with everything you said! I love my blog, that I don't keep up on the greatest, and my facebook.. but I love the present connection too. There is never enough time in a day to begin with, and we as a society, often lose out on so many things these days. It makes me miss being a kid. Remember those days of make believe and having all the time and energy in the world for crafts of all sorts. Nothing was more important than what we were imagining and creating with our closest friends!beckegoss3https://www.blogger.com/profile/06706283087359111079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16016785.post-40744858551211789212011-12-10T21:16:09.573+00:002011-12-10T21:16:09.573+00:00ALWW, you can be my PA long distance?! :)
Answer t...ALWW, you can be my PA long distance?! :)<br />Answer to drying question: airing racks near the radiators, and lots of patience. <br />And yes, social networking is definitely free entertainment!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667533845958762064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16016785.post-83942465322002912122011-12-10T20:31:42.774+00:002011-12-10T20:31:42.774+00:00Brilliant...I was just saying to 'you know who...Brilliant...I was just saying to 'you know who' how on earth do people find time to do all the things they do online, if not at the expense of real life relationships. Modern day 1950s...spot on! I think I only got to Day 6 on our Advent activities and we forgot to eat the candy!<br />By the way, if you ever needed a PA in real life I'd love to be it!!!<br /><br />Ps. How on earth do you dry everything in winter?? Argh I'm remembering. My least favourite thing.. turning over laundry on the radiator?<br /><br />PPS. I just had the thought about it being 'free', it doesn't cost money to FB or blog (unless you live in Canada),is it an option instead of 'going out', spending money on an activity - although, walking, swiming, playing tennis are all possibly better for your health!!

To be honest, I enjoy blogging for online connection. Especially for us stay-at-home mums, it's a great way to stay sane. <br /><br />I really think social networking is an equal toss-up between good and bad. It's abuse of it, through our own [my own] lack of self-control that makes it negative.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667533845958762064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16016785.post-23730343276456879822011-12-10T14:04:59.100+00:002011-12-10T14:04:59.100+00:00How funny Erin, I just joined facebook after resis...How funny Erin, I just joined facebook after resisting for ages only so I can use pinterest as I lose the links for crafty things I think the girls will like! Hey, I could be chatting with you on the phone instead of commenting couldn't I? I'm not sure I will find time to use pinterest and may well come back off facebook, we'll see! I get where you are from though with being too connected, but when we are so busy with our families, at least we can catch up at the end of a day and not end up feeling isolated from others we would like to connect with and haven't seen! Sometimes the support of connecting on-line is nice when I've turned the phone off and hidden all day!<br />hugs, Jen xJennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264414298232258502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16016785.post-27899268432393070432011-12-10T06:12:17.251+00:002011-12-10T06:12:17.251+00:00Did you just read the article my brother-in-law po...Did you just read the article my brother-in-law posted on FB? B/c I read it right before reading your blog and it was all about the psychological downside of FB. I'm sitting here thinking, "Is this my two witnesses Lord? No, You don't need to say it again. I will cut back...somehow..." I'm going to go back to FB and share the article. And do my best not to check my newsfeed.Kristy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005927621379300804noreply@blogger.com
