keeping up

Lately I have noticed I am really bad at keeping up with anything. Like I really had no idea about the riots in Baltimore. Sad I know but I don't have tv and its actually been nice. Since I have had the girls I feel like I have been in my own little world. I think its important too keep up with current events. Im  not saying I don't ever know whats going on. I learn about things not always right when they happen but  always a few days later. I am a mother and my girls take up a lot of my time. I have a hour at night to catch up on a tv show that I love or during the girls morning nap I usually can watch Grey's. I have lost interest in shows like Teen Mom and really any MTV show to be honest. I just can't seem to relate anymore. It actually makes me sad and sick to my stomach to see how people are these days. There is so much negativity and bad things being shown on tv these days that Im glad I don't watch it. I don't remember the last time I sat down in front of the tv for more than ten minutes. As crazy as that sounds its true. At first it was because I didn't have the time and then it turned into not caring about what is on TV. I enjoy Nashville and Ellen as much as the next girl. I just feel I have better ways of spending my time. I think a lot of us waste so much time behind a tv or computer screen we forget to enjoy the real world... Thats just my opinion and Im sure Im not alone on that either.

Today I woke up showered and got the girls ready for the day. My dad stopped by for a while and then we headed to logan and met up with my friend Whitney. We went to the garden center at lows and a few other places. I got home around 3:30 and started working on my flower beds. I put tins of flowers in while the girls sat and watched me. My little sister showed up for a little while and we went through my old clothes for her to have. we sat around and actually talked and really enjoyed being with each other. After that I fed the girls We took a walk and then came home and put them to bed. Yes I know I shouldn't be walking on my foot but I just can't sit around. I would go insane.  Usually I try to keep my days full of family and friends and little activities. I feel like I have been able to do more of this by getting rid of the media in my life.

Once the girls are in bed I will get on HULU and catch up on a show or two before bed. Thats my down time. Obviously for my down time I am blogging instead of watching a show. I can't say that My life is better than yours because I don't watch a lot of tv or really any. I can say my life is more enjoyable because I feel I am out enjoying it more.  I would challenge you to cut out TV and Social Media for even a day and see the change it can have. I haven't been on face book in Insta all day and have really not cared to check. Thats saying a lot because I LOVE instagram! Its my favorite app by far!

I should update you guys on the girls as well! We had their six month appointment on Monday. Harper weighs 14 pounds 14 ounces and Olivia weighs 12 pounds 11.5 ounces! Im so blown away how much they have changed! Time needs to slow down I can't handle them getting so big!  If you guys want to keep up with us a little better I would suggest instagram I updated that more than anything else. my user name is @tonyaelgan_

Much Love, Tonya
