Weekend Adventure

WEEKEND ADVENTURES // This is the beginning of a new weekly blog feature. There are two things that make this feature special. The goal is to document a few little moments [real moments- no styling here!] as a family during the weekend with my real camera. I love using my iPhone, but I want to get back to shooting US with my camera. It doesn’t make sense that I own the camera, but everyone else reaps the benefits from it. I definitely haven’t photographed my family as much as I should.

The next important piece around this feature is that I am holding myself to a Technology Sabbath. I want need to unplug from social media from time to time…and be present with Reed and Ezra…and my friends. I use Twitter to quote my pastor at Church– so tweeting on Sunday is allowed, but other than that….no Facebook or Instagram for this momma. I’m not sure how long this Sabbath will be in effect, but I just feel like I need to unplug on the weekends and re-focus my priorities and in return make sweet memories with my family. Life is just too short.

I know without a doubt that we will begin to have better weekends- sweeter family time without the distraction of our iPhones. Feel free to join me…..and unplug from whatever is taking you away form your family…and start documenting your WEEKEND ADVENTURES!

This weekend was low-key. We actually spent a lot of time at home…as Ezra is getting over a cold. We ordered pizza in and watched movies…and played on the floor with our happy boy!
