Temptation

A few weeks ago, I was walking through the gift shop at the Doseum, (the children's museum here in San Antonio) and a I brought up our tech free Santa list commitment to another mom. "Yeah, but you can get away with that because she's so little!" She said to me. I smiled and nodded, but the truth is, truly unplugging is tough no matter what the age of your child!  

Commercials for toys on TV are popping up on all kinds of programs this time of year. Almost every one I've seen requires batteries or electricity. 

In our house we watch a lot of PBS and Disney Junior. These channels are mostly commercial free, but the commercials are there. And almost all of the commercials are for something that requires batteries.

Even going to the store has been hard. I can't walk by the toy aisle at Target without being tempted. The Disney Imagicadmy stuff really appeals to me. But I think of the commitment I made, and I resist. But it's still tough.
