Meghan Owenz says it so well in her book “Spoiled Right”.

I will definitely be sharing more with you as I read more!

When I was still in the hospital after just having a baby, my doctor recommended several things that would help me stay mentally healthy. One of them was to get outside everyday for at least 20 minutes. I’m not saying that it will solve all of our problems, but I do agree that it’s very helpful & there is absolutely more than one benefit!

My kids will go out in pretty much any type of weather, not much scares them away. It’s something that they’ve gotten used to since they know they can’t just come in an jump on a screen if the weather is anything but perfect.

When we fill our days with things like playing in nature, scree-time will naturally diminish.

I love the challenge idea & I encourage you to check it out! It’s a great place to start!!

Here’s an example of what brow wax looks like.
I love how it keeps my brow hairs in place and helps them stay looking more polished. It also lifts my whole eye look a bit as well, which is always a bonus 🙌🏻

Here’s another way I’ll answer the question “what do you do all day if you don’t watch screens?”

BIKES 🙌🏻. Bikes have been our best friend! We start them on little balance bikes at age 1. They pick it up real fast!

Our kids will ride around the neighborhood, take it to the dirt hills or take them to the skate park. They also love to build jumps out of random things laying around the yard, sometimes it’s simple and sometimes they get the hammer and nails out and build something really sweet. I absolutely love to watch them! We have learned that our kids are very hard on bikes though, so it’s worth the investment to upgrade to a bit nicer bike!

Does your family ride bikes?

I remember when I learned how to ride a bike for the first time, my brothers were helping me and I was terrified, ha ha! Once I leaned though, it was so empowering! My favorite accomplishment on a bike was learning to go around a corner with no hands 😅💁🏼‍♀️. I actually have so so many fond memories of riding my bike, I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you! Those really were the good ol’ days!

Let your kids experience riding bikes and learn to love them! Let them crash and get up again. They will gain so much confidence because of it!

We did this alphabet challenge recently and it was so fun!!

I used to do it when my oldest was in preschool and I was trying to help him learn his letters really well. But older kids love it too!

You can make it as easy or difficult as you want for your family’s needs.

Tag me in your photos, I wanna see 🤗

Hope you enjoy this screen free activity with your family! 💙
