I'm a wife and mother to 3.
My passion around the topic of technology started back in my college years soon after the first iPhone came out. I resisted purchasing my own iPhone after seeing so many being consumed by its fancy gadgets and seamless ability to connect to anything and everything.  But a year after graduating college I gave in and finally bought myself an iPhone. I picked a pink one of course.  
Time went on and I too started watching myself get sucked into everything it had to offer. I did not like how much time I was spending on the device.  
I'm the oldest of 3 sisters and a brother. There is a pretty big age gap between me and my brother; 20 years to be exact. 
My brother was 5 years old when I bought my first iPhone. 

One evening, when I was visiting home, my little brother asked me to watch a movie with him. I said yes, but as the movie started playing I kept getting on my phone. I didn't realize this until I noticed my brother looking back at me and saying "Sissy, are you watching?? You need to watch this with me!" Then, throughout the whole movie, I would occasionally notice his little eyes looking over to make sure I was truly watching it with him.
This simple incident made me wonder even more how the iPhone was changing how we shared our time with other people or how it was even affecting our ability to focus on one thing without trying to multitask. My brother simply just wanted me to be present with him; to enjoy and take part in the story that was unfolding.  He valued that time with me and sadly I just couldn't give my undivided attention like I should have.
Fast forward to 2018, when I had my first baby.  Kid shows on YouTube were becoming a popular thing.  Baby Einstein already existed and I had quickly and innocently fallen into the habit of turning on a kids show for my son. It couldn't hurt right? After all, I was desperate for a break..for a much needed babysitter. But minutes of watching turned into a total of a few hours a day.  I soon realized that my own child at 8 months old was becoming addicted.

Time went on.

I listened; I researched.

I got a flip phone.

I had 2 more kids.

With some ups and downs, things changed quite a bit over the years in relation to technology. But I grew in wisdom. I grew in perseverance and I couldn't ignore the fruits that were flowing from these changes. 
And this is why I'm here; to share a little of what I've learned in hopes that it will also bear you and your family fruit as well.
