Less Screen Time: More Family- and Outdoor TimeSpring is a great time to focus on spending more time outdoors and with your family. And be sure to check out Screen-Free Week. Even if it doesn’t work for your family to go completely screen free, spring is a perfect time to focus on reducing your family’s screen time.

It’s easy to find screen-free activities when lots of kid bloggers are specifically focusing on screen-free activities of all kinds during Screen-Free Week.

      Thanks, Joanne! I definitely love getting outside more in the spring and summer. Even though my kids are grown now, it’s still fun just to be out in the fresh air. Blessings to you, too! 🙂
