My Week Without Instagram

Last week I closed my Instagram account.  Shocked?  I am.  So many times I contemplated doing this but never had the courage to do so.  I don't like to admit that I was "addicted" to Instagram, but just between you and me, I did check it everyday.  I simply did not want to miss out on all the cool things my sweet IG friends were doing.  A few weeks ago I felt convicted in a big way and decided that it was time to take a break.  I truly believe that God put it in my heart to break away from Instagram and re-evaluate how I was utilizing my time.  I listened and took action.

I'm grateful for the wonderful women who followed, liked, and left encouraging and lovely comments.  It was fun while it lasted and I will definitely miss my daily dose of inspiration. However, I strongly feel that this was the right decision. Will I reopen my account in the future, you ask?  I don't know, only time will tell.  Just in case you are wonderding, it has been easier than I thought and I'm enjoying my time away.  However, I'm not completely walking away from all social media. My plan in to update this blog as often as possible and continue to upload new content to my Youtube channel on a weekly or semi-weekly basis.


This is a little recap of my week.  Now that I'm not spending time scroling through pictures, I've become more aware of my surroundings.  Case in point, my neighbor's lovely blooms.


Micah's fun haul!  A post reviewing these products is in the works.


I worked on a small kitchen organization project, and I really like it.  It makes me wonder what took me so long?


On Saturday I went to a very cute local coffee shop and treated myself to my first cronut.  I'm sad to report that I wasn't blown away by it, but I can finally cross this off my bucket list.  


This week was all about getting Micah a few essentials.  Here's his Baby Gap haul. :)  The sandals fit a little big but I'm sure he'll be wearing them in no time.  The gray shirt with the smiling heart was sent by mistake (we ordered a peach-y colored shirt and got this instead), but it's so cute we decided to keep it.  



Life is good.  We're in the process of potentially making some very big decisions for our little family, but I can't say much a the moment.  However, rest assured that I will write about it here once I am able to.

Hope all is well.
