Does anyone else have an unhealthy addiction to their iPhone? I’m starting to think this article is true. A snippet from it:
We believe that the iPhone 5 will make your current relationship obsolete.
I don’t plan on getting the iPhone 5 but my iPhone 4S is already doing a good job of this. D and I often find ourselves sitting next to each other after Jack has gone to bed fully engaged… in our iPhones. HA To make matters worse, after I feed Jack in the middle of the night, I get back on and check my instagram feed. Who cares that it’s 4am. Apparently my iPhone has become more important than sleep. How did this happen!
On Wednesday, D and I decided to make a rule that we couldn’t be “plugged in” after Jack goes to bed. Um so far it’s not going well. Last night it went a little something like this…
Dustin: “Hey you are on your phone!”
Me: “You were in the bathroom!” I set my phone down. Dustin picks up his phone.
Me: “Hey! What are you doing?!”
Dustin: “I just have to set my alarm!”
Oh.
“And check facebook.” He mumbles.
See what I mean?
I’m wearing:
Sweater: Forever 21
Shirt: Forever 21
Jeans: H&M
Socks: Target
Wedges: Target
Necklace: Light Gives Heat
Glasses: Chanel
Bag: Fossil
You look so cute today… I love the sweater and the necklace… oh and the bag…um, and your shoes…
I love it!! Outfits in the Fall are the BEST! Love the colors and everything…and that you are wearing a Light Gives Heat Necklace!!
Oh and yes…my husband and I did the same thing…after dinner no phones. It didn’t last long, but we keep trying to get better! Technology: keeping us to closely disconnected! haha
It’s so strange that everything you post is something I’m going through at the exact same time. I have just been feeling convicted that instead of putting time into reading the Bible first thing in the morning I check instagram or instead of going back to sleep at 4am I check facebook. It’s crazy! Same thing with after Atticus goes to bed I’m on the phone checking instagram instead of asking my husband how his day was. We are trying but look I’m on the computer!
You look super cute and your making me want to cut my bangs again. I love some blunt straight across bangs!
Great outfit! I really like your bag. As for phones, I don’t have a cell but I can relate to what you’re saying because I do have an iPad and always have it by my side! Good for you guys for making that rule and for trying to stick with it, but don’t be too hard on yourselves because it is very hard to let go.
I know what you mean I am addicted to my phone its an android its not an IPhone but i wish it was
I think it’s awesome that you are thinking about the distractions that are so present in our lives! A friend of mine on Instagram just recently reminded me to #unplugforlove! We can all be more engaged with many of our relationships but you are soooo right when you say it’s the ones at home that count the most!!
PS- I’ll pray for you to be diligent with unplugging if you pray for me and Brian to do the same!
PPS- I already pray for ya! I’ll just add this! 😉
Marisa – Convicted is a good word for me too. At least we are trying!!
Olivia – Thank you so much for your prayers! That means so much. I will pray for you and Brian to unplug too!
Okay Kelly, I gotta ask-how do you do your beautiful curls? Your hair is always adorable and I need to know your secret!
And my husband and I are always on our phones and we are so guilty of all of sudden looking at the clock and its been 30 minutes since either one of us has spoken. Sad but true! Happy to know others are having the same problem.
