The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{read along} Mitten Strings for God: TV

Oh TV.  What a love/hate relationship I have with you.    

As I read this chapter, with the lovely descriptions of a dusty television and increased amounts of family time, I was intrigued.  Who needs hours of mindless idling when you could be out experiencing life with your family?

But at the same time, I was torn.  Because I like movies.  I like the occasional reality show.  I like cooking shows and HGTV.  

So, like the majority of things in my life, I have decided that for my family, it’s all about balance.  Will I allow my kids to watch TV? Yes.  Will they watch gobs and gobs of it? No way.  There’s just way too many books to read, Lego creations to build and crafts to make instead!

What about you?  Do you have a TV in your home?  What are your thoughts?
