My good friend Sally (as mother of five fab kids from teens to adults, she has great street cred) tells me that her family has designated one night a week to be screen-free. Parents included. I really, really like this idea. (This in spite of the fact that we had one week during the summer when we went without screens, and by the end it was like our house was going to explode with frustration.) But I think one day per week is quite manageable.

My goal? I want to slow time down. I admit, it’s a rather ambitious goal. But if one screen-free night could get us even an iota closer to the slow life, I’m all for it. So, stay tuned.
