We did this last year and it was a great success. Though, I must admit, not much of a difference from the daily lives for our kids, who spend around two hours a week looking at screens (it helps that this has been part of our lifestyle from the start; we have never owned a television when we&#8217;ve had kids and computers are very easy to place out of sight). However, it&#8217;s harder for me, as all of my blogging and writing happens on a computer!<\/p>\n<p>I have vowed to spend significantly less time on my own screen this week (I&#8217;ll be in the garden!) but I&#8217;ve set up plenty of blog posts in advance. The posts I have for this week will primarily be suggestions of fun activities and books that are about connecting back to the world around us. It&#8217;s very important and I hope you&#8217;ll join us, if not going completely screen-free, then at least cutting back if you can!<\/p>\n<p><em>P.s. &#8212; Tomorrow night is Circus Night at the boys&#8217; school&#8230; I think I finally feel ready!
