Oooo, ooo I love this (and your new site name too btw)! We cut the TV cable nearly 2 years ago and have never looked back nor regretted it. We do still have some movies and electronic games though. Ironically, we found movie watching dropped instead of increasing as I was expecting. But the use of the Wii and its family games took the #1 spot. Although the favorite thing still is the old fashioned board games we now have time to enjoy together. It’s been so much easier and different than I expected, that I’m confident we could easily lose the movies and electronic games and still be quite happy. Although if you talk about my internet and computer I’ll become MOST possessive!!! LOL

Hugs,
Holly

While I have nothing negative to say about your decision I am glad you are not my Mom. I would miss my computer time. It is on from morning to night although I am not on it all the time.

I don’t watch TV or movies and don’t play video games, so would only miss the Internet. Though I have gotten quite dependent upon it, if I did not have it, I would get a lot more glass work done, probably reading and writing as well.

I would definitely read more. I have tried for years to get my family to participate in the No TV Week… never got them to even try. I could turn off the tube, and never miss it.

Danielle,
Thank you for the kind comments. I don’t think it is coincidence that we found each other’s blogs! I love reading your posts and am glad that you visit often!
If all electronics were taken (hooray! – some days), board games would be #1 on my list. Jody and I play board games now with Elizabeth and Michael. Their favorite – Monopoly (with the debit cards), but my new favorite is BuzzWord! We also like to play Spades and Yahtzee.
I can just imagine how quiet things would be! Ahh – the peace!
In His Love and Blessings,

I’d get a lot more reading done, for certain. Probably spend more time outside when it was nice. Spend more money on coloring books.

I would read more and I would need to get a newspaper so I could get my weather and news. I would miss the connections I have on the internet though. Would not miss tv much!
