We also did it one week last year when hubs took the TV away for the kids eating downstairs or something like that. that was tough. I agree that we have plenty to do otherwise. i agree that it can be too much. our tv is old and the color is off and we have a converter box and a VCR. i like to watch my shows on tape when the kids aren't around while i nurse b/c i can't read all the time and they won't let me nap! and reading sometimes makes me want to nap! we will definitely be cutting back, and I might try your no tv week challenge and blog about it! it's sad how much we like tv, and we are mild compared to many!Kerrie McLoughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357207300211730918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-75162032907516204262011-08-20T07:38:01.803-05:002011-08-20T07:38:01.803-05:00Kerrie,

We watch movies very occasionally--like once every two months or so. We haven't always been this way, and for some family members the change was more challenging than with others, but I will tell you it is definitely worth it. IF I have time to sit and chill, I just sit and chill, enjoy the mountain view out my picture window, meditate on a scripture verse, or converse with a child. When I was nursing babies, I kept a pile of reading material next to the chair...with my Bible on the top of the stack, or I dozed. I believe the national Turn Off Your TV week is coming up in September. I highly recommend you give it a try.Carol J. Alexanderhttp://everythinghomewithcarol.comnoreply@blogger.com
