It turns out that I have embarked on an unexpected adventure in the digital realm. I am no longer the person I used to be, but rather a "fashion maven" in the world of Roblox.
Uniting Families Through the Digital Realm
Discovering a New Hobby
I never thought I would become a fan of video games. In fact, the last game I played seriously was my Super Nintendo in the 1990s. But then, I discovered Roblox. This game became a new hobby for me, and it brought me closer to my daughters than ever before. We play Roblox together a few times a week, and it has become a special time for us.We style outfits based on different themes and give each other ratings. It's a fun and creative activity that we all enjoy. And even though I'm not a natural at it, I've learned to embrace the challenge and have a great time with my girls.Spending Quality Time with Kids
As my daughters grow older, it becomes harder to find quality time together. School, sports, and life in general get in the way. But Roblox has given us a way to connect and have fun. We huddle in my home office, snacking and playing together. It's a simple pleasure that means a lot to us.I've realized that sometimes, we have to meet our kids where they are. And in this case, that means being on Roblox with them. It's not about the game itself, but about the time we spend together.The Importance of Giving Time
In today's busy world, it's easy to forget the importance of spending time with our kids. We're all caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, and quality time can be hard to come by. But as Dr. Daniel Amen says, spending 20 minutes a day with our child doing something they enjoy can make a big difference.At church, the children's minister also emphasized the importance of taking interest in our kids' hobbies. It may feel forced at first, but it leads to meaningful connections. That's why I downloaded Roblox on my laptop. I wanted to give my girls my time in a way that they would enjoy.Selfless Quality Time
Quality time doesn't always have to be glamorous or exciting. Sometimes, it means doing something that may not be our first choice, but is important to our kids. Playing Barbies or watching Spiderman might seem boring to us, but it means the world to them.By meeting our kids where they are and giving them our time, we create memories that will last a lifetime. And who knows, we might even discover a new side of ourselves in the process.Take the time to be with your kids. Do the things they enjoy. It's worth it. The years fly by, and we don't want to miss a moment.
