Our Journey Home

The Great Experiment

We're embarking on a great experiment.  A few years ago we called the phone company and had all cable services turned off to see if it would improve our home.  It did and we were thrilled with the outcome.  However, after a while, we decided to add movies back in - something we could control.  Lately I've been feeling like it is getting out of control.  So today with my dh's agreement we begin a great experiment --

 

We're removing the television from our home. 

 

However, my dh wants me to still let the children have video game time.  I'm not a big fan of them, but he is and he's in charge.  So they will be limited to 1/2 hour each per day.  So from time to time I'll update you on our progress.

 

So our goal are:

  1. to add in more reading
  2. to add in more board games
  3. to add in more exercise
  4. to add in more travel

I'm sure more will pop up as we go along.

We are in the middle of a 40 day fast from TV,over on Easter, it has been tough. DH and I are doing the best. For the boys is hasn't been complete but pretty good. We've allowed videos and are watching more than we normally would but way less TV overall. Now I need to cut back on my computer time....one step at a time?

A few months ago my Dh and I decided to removed TV, video games and play computer times from our home. You know what I discovered? My family really likes each other. The kids play so nice now where before the older one was short tempered. I love it!
