No Television Household

I think something when we blog, we don't really focus on what makes our household different from others. I know I try to fit in as much as possible so why would I flaunt things that other people may think is weird. Well, I think that's the wrong way to look at it. I would like to share my latest discovery! NO TV!

When I first had Jaxon I didn't know what I would have done with no TV. It got me through the long days since David had such a long commute. When we were about to move we were looking at cable and internet packages and I had a revelation. I remembered a time when I was single and living with the one and only Anna (Burt) Wilson. We were too poor for TV and I got SO much more done. So we thought we'd give it a try, and I must say, I LOVE IT!

No bad commercials, I get laundry/dishes done, I get bored and go play OUTSIDE or go on a walk. It is so nice to be productive and not worry about what show I'm missing or just too "in the zone" to realize it's been two hours since I've moved.

Don't get me wrong, we have netflix and hulu but we only watch them for a few hours a week. It is GREAT. I can still turn it on when I have my sister over for a girls day, but it doesn't rule my life anymore. I've read a ton, and am generally a lot more content. I know even with kids it seems like it would be too hard to live without, but I would suggest to try it for just ONE month and see how you do. What's the worst that can happen? You save money and fall a little more in love with your husband? Sounds great to me!
