Screen Free Week is April 30th - May 6th. Schools across the country are helping promote families to turn off, unplug and get outside (to the best extent possible!) Since we believe so much in the value of unplugging and getting outside, we are on board 100%. We have teamed up with a bunch of great companies and inspiring bloggers to fill your mind with ideas on what to do with all that extra time and gear you up to do it!
Our event will take place the week BEFORE (because we are turning off too and we don't want you checking out this blog that week!)
April 23 - 27 Gearing up Families to go Screen Free
Monday (23rd): Our "No Cotton" Philosophy + Gear up Day 1
Tuesday (24th): Hydration and Nourishment on the Trail + Gear up Day 2
Wednesday (25th) Guest Blogger: Michael Lanza talks about Taking Young Kids into the Wilderness + Gear up Day 3
Thursday (26th): Move Your Body + Gear up Day 4

ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteI just did a week screen free April 3-9. No tv, no cell phone and no computer. It was a great reset button and I really enjoyed more face time and quiet time in the week.
Screen free- next week- after this great post and giveaway!! Really is important to focus less on electronics and more on eachother, when my kids are grown I want great memories for me and them and memories come from real life experience, not watching them happen for someone else.
