Now that it is lighter outside way past dinner...we love to go on family walks and the kids get to enjoy a popsicle (if they eat their dinner ;)<br />We don't struggle with screen time as the kiddos don't have any devices...but I do have to be careful with just plopping them in front of a show. We are all so much happier when we snuggle up on the couch together to read a book or play in the playroom a little bit before bed time. You are absolutely right though...WE set the tone and by our actions can lead the rest of our family in how we intentionally spend our time together!!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329246820838281221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-41191275117876389832019-05-07T16:54:18.023-04:002019-05-07T16:54:18.023-04:00I have to brainstorm ideas for us this summer or t...I have to brainstorm ideas for us this summer or the kids will stay on their screens.

I like the idea of having an activity to do - I try to have something in mind for after school to help us from being total moofs! Ha ha!

With it being warmer out now, I'm trying to get outside more in the evening. I've seen where people have apps that can time out social media or whatever it is you're spending too much time on. I'd like to try one of those out to see how efficient they are. I have an outdoor project list as well as finishing the nursery so that should be my focus! :) Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913354617252634522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-48798447552045091372019-05-07T07:07:41.628-04:002019-05-07T07:07:41.628-04:00I love how you made goals for your family in a way...I love how you made goals for your family in a way that wasn't critical. I was off of social media for lent, and it really made me realize how often I pick up my phone. And I've also realized that what I'm doing sets the tone for the whole family. If I'm zoned out on my phone, everyone else follows. Have a terrific Tuesday.Tanya https://www.blogger.com/profile/15451171508299813896noreply@blogger.com
