Oversharing

By
So I finally realized more of what Google is doing with Google+ 

You see I use gmail so I basically had this Google+ account I didn't understand. But all my blogs automatically post to it. And same with my YouTube videos. Apparently Google+ is in it's own way, a social network platform. For people who are over Facebook? It's a little confusing

And definitely overwhelming. 

There is a lot about me out there. Mr Smith agrees and hates this fact because I bring him and our offspring into this. I need it . . . that sense of social connection, but even I feel overexposed just because I can't even keep up with every account that has my name and photo. I don't want to fall behind if I dare to enter into the public world years down the road, but some days I want to turn it all off. Because I'll be the first to admit I'm sharing more than doing some days.

Gmail. I have email. For all those professional conversations & spam
Facebook. I have 737 "friends". An account that dates back to 2006. Plus a photo Page.
Blogger. All three blogs. One I ended but it isn't gone. One for my photos. and one for my life.
Instagram. Instant pixely pictures from "my phone"
I'm kind of over Snapchat, an Instagram comparison without lasting effects.
Pinterest. For all my inspirational & creative needs.
Twitter. I just rekindled this gem from over 4 years ago. I'm still a beginner.
Youtube. All three of my videos because I haven't found a better way to upload videos.
And now Google+ ?

I know there are even more. Don't overwhelm me further. #hashtagwhat?
(FaceTime, Hangouts, Skype . . .)

And what about all the blogs I follow and news sites I never read?

Mr Smith is really set on getting the Nextus Google+ phones. 
I am just trying to make sense of it all. But I also can't wait to get a new phone.
At least all these crazy things will be pilled together with WiFi.

There is a Plan for That

  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
