around the house though I finally washed our curtains y'all probably noticed them in past episodes but they were so bad so bad so I washed them I did three different loads cuz we have six curtains in the living room and I hung these to dry just inside cuz this is my last load but the other ones outside I kind of made a makes shift um clothes line cuz I do want eventually I want a clothes line in our house let me show you what I did though okay so I used one of Austin's straps and I hung up the curtains out here anyway so it was nice to get that project done because they were so stained and just the kids you know playing with them pulling on them there was like food wiped on them or whatever so I got those washed okay let's see you show them whoa Evie and I so high I hold on to man you're good at that EVS T hey what are those big wood why did they bring wood oh papa yeah he went and cut down some trees today why so those are or those are logs on his truck you see the logs why well cuz Papa was working um he's doing a tree job clearing some land four they're for take out to pet balls okay just kidding things are always changing around here Austin oh sorry Abie um Austin came home and he was like cleaning up getting stuff ready we're going on a little short trip this weekend um but Austin said that we uh need to take the logs out to his parents house tonight because we've got he's not be able to do it any other day this week play um we're going to play for just a little bit so we are headed out to his parents which is like an hour 45 minutes-ish drive and then we'll make supper when we get home so I gave the kids a little snack cuz they were starting to get hungry gave him a snack and we are going to head out there and drop these logs off unload them it's always an adventure we made it out here right before Sunset look how beautiful it is here y'all literally so pretty Austin's unloading all of the logs that were on the trailer H so beautiful here anyway he's finished unloading them it takes no time it's just a drive out here but they do um when Austin ever has to like clear a lot or anything he will bring all the logs up to his dad's because they have a sawmill and so he'll make like his dad uses the wood all the time um but Austin has made like he made our bed frame out of wood that they had taken off their property um he has made different kind of like dressers and different things like that um beautiful mantel gorgeous mantles um trying to think of what else he's made oh like big cedar posts for like a front porch he's made those so he has a lot of different variety talents anyway but they have that machine that they've used for years and so he knows it like the back of his hand anyway so he can make beautiful things so all that being said he unloaded the Cherrywood out um of the trailer and he was saying one of these days when we build our forever house or whatever um I want to make some open shelving with the Cherrywood it would be so pretty in the kitchen or even just like bookshelves or something so it's just fun to dream and plan and that that his family has all of the equipment to do something like

other kids have been playing with it so nice I I'm always going to have a swing in our house as long as I have kids I'm going to have a swing in our house and when we have grandkids it'll be nice too win anyway like I was saying we have a lot to do tonight um thankfully we had a few slow days this week just to be able to kind of reset after we got back from our anniversary trip feel like it was just really like I don't know it was we had to vacation from our vacation kind of just rest after vacation um anyway and then get back into routine with the kids just to turn around and leave again but I got to pack up do the dishes cuz look at that sink oh my goodness it's bad anyway so we got a lot of work to do okay I got every to bed got a quiet second I really need to be packing but I thought I was gonna go ahead and talk about this so I have challenged myself I was actually talking to my sister-in-law Rachel and we were talking about our screen time and how much just we spend on our phones nowadays and how much um we just spend our free time watching TV and how it affects one how it affects us and how it affects our like our kids' brains and their development and so we were talking about it and I was like okay let me just look up my average and it was bad my average was like five five and a half hours a day which is crazy a lot of that was um social media because I work on social media and I use that as like I do work on social media but then when you're on social media you tend to like Doom scroll and just scroll scroll scroll scroll um and it becomes habit just to pick up your phone click the app and just do it whenever you have any free second um and then a lot of was Marco Polo I'm Marco Polo a lot and I'll just leave my phone sitting there work around the house Marco Polo um anyway so there was just a I wanted to challenge myself to try and get it down and I don't really know like what limit I'm setting for myself but I'm really purposing to do better and it's not just about the screen time it's really about being more intentional in parenting for my kids and being present with them when I am with them um and a lot of that is because I was actually marking a friend and I watched back like the video and in the background I heard one of my kids say mama mama mama and then finally on the third time they said it I heard them it wasn't that I didn't like answer them right away I just didn't even hear them until the third time and so for me I was like man I just and not that I'm always going to answer them the first time that they ask um because I feel like that just happens all day long with little kids it's constantly Mama M um but I feel like that that was happening more and more and more and I want to be present I want to for them to know that Mama hears them and and it just really there's been a lot of studies of how parent screen times affects their kids so with that being said I'm really purposing to especially with it being really nice weather outside now getting into summer it's so nice but um I'm purposing to have less scen time and then another way I've challenged myself is to um we're trying this out to not wa not watch movies or um just like YouTube stuff like not watch any of that unless it's a family setting so like if we're all sitting down like an evening in the week and we all watch like I don't know dude perfect or a TV show or a movie that we've been wanting to watch um and so that's our goal and for the summer um two summers ago I did a movie break for the whole summer and so Gideon and I and Austin didn't watch any movies that whole summer and it was so good for us to just like disconnect from TV because a lot of times when it's just up either on piano or in the back bedroom like we just tend to grab the remote and turn it on and we don't even think about it it's just every night that happens and I really want to enjoy the summer be outside as much as possible and yeah I feel like it really it for me for my mental health it's a lot better when I'm not on my phone um and I can tell with my kids attitudes and just they get they get a good exhaustion with when they're not watching TV they sleep harder they sleep better like their attitudes overall are better so that's been a goal of mine so anyway I was just thinking about summertime and all the things that in that comes with summer and it definitely is harder in the winter for me to do less screen time but in summer it is a big goal so we're going to enjoy the outdoors this summer do a lot of things it's fun to see gunar he's been walking in the grass so so much now the last week and it's so funny to see him react to him being outside cuz he was born in May and but he has never really like been in the grass much because he was born in May and then by the time he could sit up it was cold outside so he wouldn't be outside a whole lot um and so this spring and summer has been the first time for him to be outside and it's adorable to watch anyway okay I'm going to get to packing and I've got a lot to do spent five and it's just talking here but um thank you guys so much for watching this video and we will see you guys next week I don't really know what's happening in the next week besides this wedding we're going to but we will see yall later so thanks for watching oh and don't forget to notify And subscribe to our
