Thanks for naps and technology!

Seriously - I am so thankful today for nap time and technology! (Everything in moderation, of course - but when nap time comes around, I'm ready! And when I'm ready for a few mindless minutes, checking my e-mail or scrolling through Facebook updates does the trick!)

What I love about nap time:

 - 2 hours to do whatever I please at home

 - 2 free hands!

 - Kitchen time (you're thinking, please explain!) I don't like a messy kitchen. So kitchen time allows me to wash the dishes, wipe the counter tops, etc. I don't necessarily like those activities, but I love the result! I also love cooking/baking - so most of my kitchen time is spent doing that, and I finish up with the "chore" of cleaning it.

 - If I haven't had the opportunity to shower yet, I'll do that. Or just brush my teeth and pull my hair back :)

 - When so inspired, the opportunity to use the treadmill in the basement 

 - Devotion time. I recently started a Beth Moore Bible study - love them! There's a lot of "homework" though. I enjoy it, but I need quiet time to focus and really take it all in. My goal for this study is to start every nap time with 20-30 minutes of quiet time. 

sneaking in on nap time :)

What I love about technology:

 - It entertains me when I am sitting at home and can't leave because I have a baby :)

 - DVR: I can record any show on TV that I want to and watch it whenever I want to (like every 45 minutes when I have to sit down to nurse Hudson, again.)

 - iPad: We got one for Christmas :) I spend hours on that while sitting/standing with Hudson - browsing the web, checking e-mail and Facebook, and playing solitaire :)

 - Android cell phone: texting anyone and everyone I can think of, calling my mom, and finding random apps I can download and mess with (including a baby app that allows me to track Hudson's eating, sleeping, diapers, activities, and moods all in one place!)

 - Computer: It's pretty rare that I actually make time to sit at the computer with two free hands to do as I please (like type = blog) but when it happens I cherish every (oops, got to go! crying baby) So, I'm back.. 2 weeks later! :) Forgot I was even writing this post .. guess that happens too!

As I read over what I typed 2 weeks ago, I see how much it has changed again! These are all still good things, but I'm realizing nothing will ever stay the same for a "long" period of time again! Which is ok.

Lately I am enjoying things like MOPS, having mom visit a few days, and celebrating Hudson being around for 2 months already! Time flies!!

He's always so serious!

Play time

He loooves his binky!

Until next time! Hopefully it's not another month before I get another post completed!! :)
