The Screen Sabbath Experiment...

I have been inspired... and I want the same thing that inspired me to inspire you... last night... in the too late hours... when I should have been sleeping... I was reading over at The Art Of Simple where Tsh posted about taking a screen sabbath.


On our recent trip to Vancouver I shut off my phone until my kiddos were in bed... the urge to reach out to check Facebook or check my emails was pretty tough to ignore ... but I did it... and it was totally worth it.

24 whole hours with no screens... no lap tops, smart phones, television, iPad... sounds like painful torture doesn't it?

I wanna do it... but I need a plan...

Date: Sunday March 23 2014

Screen free activities:

  • Head to a park in town (with snacks or a picnic lunch)
  • Work on a puzzle 
  • Read stories
  • Make up our own stories
  • Create art master pieces
I think really the key here is snacks... snacks make people happy :)

I hope to make screen sabbaths a Scott family tradition... but baby steps my friends... baby steps.

Wanna join me? Heck if your local and the weather holds out maybe we could head to a park together... or come on over and our kiddos can get into some fun (and probably messy) art projects.

What ideas do you have for going screen free?
