Ever wonder what would happen if your family just unplugged completely? No phones, tablets, TV, or devices - even for just a few hours?

While this might sound challenging in today's digital world, my family takes a complete technology break for 25 hours every weekend. What started as a religious practice has become the cornerstone of our family connection, creating space for what truly matters.


In this glimpse into our screen-free time, I share:
- What actually fills those hours when Netflix isn't an option
- How kids naturally return to imaginative play without prompting
- The simple activities that create deeper family bonds
- Why meaningful conversations happen more easily without digital distractions


This isn't about suggesting everyone needs a full day unplugged or imposing strict rules. It's about sharing practical ideas you might adapt for your own family - even if it's just a screen-free dinner or Sunday morning.

The surprising truth is that when screens go away, something beautiful happens. Children play differently. Parents connect more deeply. And time somehow feels both slower and more valuable. Whether you're looking to implement a brief weekly tech break or simply curious about building stronger family bonds, these practical insights might inspire your own version of sacred family time.
