Inspiration

Inspiration comes in all different forms.  I was doing laundry at my mom's house today and spotted this magnet on her fridge...



a lovely picture of my grandma.  My aunt had it made into a magnet so it sits on my mom's fridge for all to see.  I started thinking about how life was back then.  Was it maybe easier since technology wasn't there?  Or was it harder because there was no technology?

I think it might have been a little of both.  No computers and little television probably made for a more active family.  I picture family picnics and vacations... like the one from Dirty Dancing (minus the dirty dancing part).  Kids playing outside having fun and parents inside not worried about someone taking their child.

I long for a time... a simpler time.  We cancelled our cable and only have the basic 23 channels.  It has been hard but we spend less time in front of the television and more time outside.  The kids have their movies that they watch and we have Netflix so we can watch our movies too.

I would like to take my family back to a simpler time.  One that doesn't include hours spent in front of the television or on the computer.  I plan on taking my family back to a time where food was made from real food and not processed.  A time where mom sewed clothing for the kids... this is my place to do just that.

Join me for some fun as I attempt to go down this path...
