I've expressed the desire (among my family and friends) to raise Olivia to be more religiously inclined than I am. I feel it is especially important this time of year to raise her to appreciate God and His gifts. It's not Lent, but I'm going to make a sacrifice in honor of this Christmas season--no Facebook for the entire month of December. No status updates, no pictures, no commenting on other people's posts. Nothing. I am doing a complete embargo of Facebook for this month. I want to focus on what this season is really about--not the hate that's being put out there, not about the commercialism. It's about love and faith and family. I want to spend my Christmas season focusing purely on those things--especially with my family. I'm going to continue to blog--this isn't really for anyone except for me and eventually Olivia (I plan to print these out to put in her babybook so she can have a glimpse of what her early life was like through John's and my perspective. It may not seem like much, but since I've become a SAHM, I've been totally obsessed with Facebook--it's really my only outlet (besides this blog) and the only way I can really socialize. I feel this is important though. How can I raise Olivia to value family over commercialism if I'm not willing to as well....?
