After reading this post by Rachel over at Finding Joy, I decided to take a break from my social media life this weekend.
From Twitter.
From Facebook.
From blogland.
I’ve been enjoying every single moment with my crazy little boys.
And it feels so good!
Do you ever just need a break? Do you feel bogged down with SOCIAL MEDIA?
I was feeling so overwhelmed. But now. Now I feel refreshed!
I imagine I’ll resume my normal twitter addiction on Monday.
Until then, Happy Sunday!
Hey Mandy, great post! I completely agree! Removing my Twitter and Facebook app from my phone has helped a lot in this area. Social Media can be such a time suck though but it’s a such a great tool that it’s hard to find the balance between engagement and time away. I’m glad you had some time to enjoy your precious family. Happy Weekend!
I saw you tweet about that blog post and I went back and read it, how did I not follow her blog before?! But I took it as a cue that I needed to do the same. While I did get on and check every so often I didn’t feel the need to update and/or go back through my feed. It has been nice! Thanks for the reminder.
Good for you. I inadvertently “gave up” Twitter a few weeks ago. I don’t miss it much, sometimes it’s easier to keep up with blog friends solely via blogs and email, rather than all the bits and pieces from Twitter.
Hi, Mandy. I just left a comment on you and your husband’s blog that was meant for you here at house of rose. I’m glad I found your blog and am really looking forward to keeping up as a new follower.
Thanks for setting an example and encouraging us to remember to put our families first.
I’m excited about your vlog meme and will gladly, although nervously, participate.

I just took a bloggy spring break myself last week and I cannot tell you what a difference it has made. I feel so refreshed and re-inspired. Sometimes we all need to step away!
Good for you for taking a break! I love the pictures of you just sitting with your boys and being Mom. So precious! Hope you guys had a great weekend!
Oh my goodness. You are so sweet. Thank you for the kind words, I am truly grateful.
And isn’t it amazing to step back and take a break? Or at least to give ourselves the freedom to know that we CAN take a break?
Blessings to you. And thank you again.
Rachel
Yep, I’ve stepped away from Twitter a lot – it’s just too much to try to keep up with everything and I really don’t miss it!
