last night we sat our kids down and told them that we were canceling our cable. the first thing out of each of their mouths was, "will we still get nick?". it was a tough reality for each of them to swallow as they began to realize that sponge-bob and icarly would no longer be an option. caleb definitely took it the hardest. he cried crocodile tears as he reminisced about all the shows he loved and the time spent in front of "nicki", our tv, affectionately named after one of our favorite babysitters.so, why are we getting rid of our cable? well, dave and i have been talking and praying for weeks about what things our family could do or possibly give up so we could do and give more with the resources we've been given. i guess you could say it is our new years resolution. our goal, with Gods help, is to become more creative with how we live our lives and in turn see God work and move in new and creative ways in each of our lives. because this is something we are passionately seeking i decided to start a new blog for the sole purpose of documenting our families journey to give more by living on less.
blessing to you in the new year!

What a great idea, Misty! I commend you. We canceled our cable a few years ago and I have to say, aside from missing the FoodNetwork like I'd miss a limb, we don't even notice. :) I look forward to hearing about how you grow together as a family by pursuing creative activities together! Perhaps Amanda Blake Soule's book would have some suggestions?
