I didn't even realize we were getting those shows. I set up the DVR to record them for some special Bible class time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121857171849337021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030183244526229233.post-10165437042705610102010-07-27T10:47:03.239-04:002010-07-27T10:47:03.239-04:00I also wanted to say how much I WISH we had Chick-...I also wanted to say how much I WISH we had Chick-fil-a where we live. We live in a very small town in the Pac. NW but both my husband and I are from the south and miss it so very much! We would totally do Chick-fil-a over McD's ANY day!! <br /><br />Kristi<br />www.homeschoolblogger.com/andersonsKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341613233598062262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030183244526229233.post-957517564136248992010-07-27T10:46:04.661-04:002010-07-27T10:46:04.661-04:00I just found your blog and totally agree with this...I just found your blog and totally agree with this. My parents let me watch a lot of TV, and I let my children watch a lot of TV (like you, we are very choosy and only watch from the DVR 99% of the time)...looking back on my past, the TV was the LEAST of my worries or scars growing up. ;) And we are not obese or even overweight. My children are very active and have plenty of energy. But if some families work better with no TV, more power to them, we are just not one of those families. My dh wouldn't let me get rid of the TV even if I begged and begged so there you have it! ;) I enjoy the benefits, we are able to travel to far off lands and learn things we never would otherwise. So that's my say and I'm sticking to it! ;) God bless you and your family. <br /><br />Kristi<br />www.homeschoolblogger.com/andersonsKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341613233598062262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030183244526229233.post-90398884315271983572010-07-18T13:47:19.870-04:002010-07-18T13:47:19.870-04:00Thank you for your post.

I am rather new to the groups so maybe they aren't unusual, but I do enjoy them too. <br /><br />I appreciate the Maxwells very much as well. I have the MOTH book and have learned a lot from it, 'everything in it's time or place' is a good one. But, I totally understand what you mean when you say you had your worst day ever the next day. I am the same way. Why do I believe so little in what I do and how I do it that I am so strongly influenced when I see the way someone else does and recommends doing it? I tend to let myself be swayed to thinking that their way would indeed be better, then I compare, and rather than gleaning what would work, I jump in hook, line, and sinker...and drowned typically. haha!! <br /><br />I have learned more over the last few years and I do a much better job of following the Holy Spirit more than anyone else. I do believe that He leads me to others and their resources to garner from them so I appreciate hearing and reading and seeing resources out the wazoo (did I spell that right? :)) But I have learned to also appreciate what I do and HOW I do it too! It makes it easier to take what works and leave what doesn't and let the Holy Spirit help me decide which is which!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing!<br />jenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007861607344981918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030183244526229233.post-57026033854851077122010-07-18T01:45:52.529-04:002010-07-18T01:45:52.529-04:00Good post.

My little one doesn't even know that McDonald's is there when we pass by the golden arches, but when she sees Chick-Fil-A she gets all excited and Chick-Fil-A doesn't even adverstise their toys. Anyway, about the TV/DVR topic: I'm with you. Moderation is key. We've had a busy morning of breakfast, dancing to music (that's one of our favorite things to do), playing with cars, and wrestling with daddy in the living room. What a busy morning, right? My youngest is now in bed taking a nap and my almost 4 year old is watching a movie in my room. This is her down time. She doesn't take naps much anymore, but I like for her to keep quiet while the baby is asleep (she's a very light sleeper). This is also my time to pick up the house and check my e-mail and such when I'm done. I agree that TV can be a good source of entertainment if you monitor what your kids watch and how much they watch it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066135650316327591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030183244526229233.post-55656848022975648232010-07-17T11:28:46.498-04:002010-07-17T11:28:46.498-04:00I feel the same as you.

We put all our DVDs on a media player and I can just use the remote to select the show to watch... whether it's Story Keepers, Animated Stories of the New Testament or Cyber Chase. I love it! <br />I do enjoy the Maxwell's and glean a lot from them but the no tv ever thing might be good for them but not so much for us. Plus back when they working through this issue years ago there was no DVRs, media players, or even DVDs. so their options were much more limited and it was easier to just cut it out all together. With todays tech we have so much more options to cut out the bad but bring in the good. The TV isn't bad it is what so many people choose to watch on it that makes it bad. <br />But it does take great effort to cut and keep out the bad. Like so many other things we have to purposeful.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776224196369924308noreply@blogger.com
