I was at the bank today when I noticed numerous colored drawings hung on a wall. The title of each drawing was "what I am saving for" and they were done by 3rd graders. I quickly noticed a pattern of wants when browsing through the drawings. Out of 28 drawings, only 3 consisted of items like a necklass, cat and gift for someone. The remaining 25 drawings displayed the following: Wii's, iphones, ipad, Kindle, cell phone, car etc.).
Really? This is what they are savign up for? With the exception of a car, I wonder how these kids came to draw what they did. Is it their hearts desire to own an iphone? If you ask me, marketing has either done it's job promoting their latest advances in technology to ages 7-100 OR our kids know nothing else. Likely both.
Ugh, very sad in my opinion.

About Me
- Mandalyn
- Who am I? If you would have asked me this question before becoming a mom, my answer would likely be very different. Today, I am first and foremost, a wife. My husband, Matthew, is awesome. Matt has a huge heart, which I take pride in knowing that he chose to share it with me. He is intelligent, patient, handy, and the only one I know who can put up with my crazy ideas. I am also a mom, learning as I go. I have gone from always trying to perfect things to loving the mistakes I make. Marin is a joy, so sweet, so lovely. She was born on November 6, 2009 and every day I get to spend with her becomes my new favorite day. Our family loves the Lord and lives daily for Him. I created this blog with hopes of sharing my stories, thoughts and ideas, simple as they be, as a sort-of scrap-book. Just a glimpse of a few memories as time goes by. I should also mention the three other important members of our family; Ebony(our cat), Rolley and Tilly (our two dogs). We love them dearly, even though they have been demoted since the arrival of Marin.
