What would you do for if had to give up your phone, Internet and TV?
I really don’t watch all that much TV. It’s pretty limited unless you count watching Toy Story 3, Ice Age or Yo Gabba Gabba for the 1110th time per show. I do like HGTV and the Food Network when I watch TV.
Internet access. That is a different story. I’m on-line almost seven days a week. I do go out of town with my family now and then to our lake house and it has almost no Internet access. It’s really nice to be disconnected while we are there. I do start to miss it by day three though. There’s so many things we can do once we finally get disconnected.
- Take a long walk and bring snacks for the kiddies.
- Finger painting, coloring, drawing with the kids.
- Draw body outlines with sidewalk chalk. Always a fun one.
- Go for a ride on the local train or visit the park. The train ride is actually on the agenda for this weekend!
- Read a book or magazine. For me, this happens during the kids’ nap time.
- Bake something! The kids love to help out.
- Plant flowers.
- Tickle Fest! We do this often and it’s pretty funny.
- Water play during summer.
- Me time for mom. I like to take a break just for me!

I’d lock myself in my craft room almost every day of the week for a couple hours a day!!! AFTER I play with my kids, of course.

Thanks Julia! I love the idea of the crafty room… I bet it is such a great feeling to create and then go play with the kiddies 🙂

I would read, read, read!! Oh yeah…I have a 3 year old…I would play, play, play!! At times, we have not had TV and internet and we did play a LOT (blocks, puzzle, books, cars…you know…).
One weekend, my boy and I went outside and played in the mud. I had to coerce him to get dirty!!! I filled a sand hole that the dogs had dug full of water and sat down. The Boy just looked at me for a while and then I spilled some mud on his foot. He almost cried until I dumped a bowl of mud in his lap and that made him giggle and then he was all for it!!

I love the mud fun!! I’m sure he was ready to go once that bowl dumped out… I adore those moments so much. My fave lately are the tickle fests. I need to record the laugher because it is just precious!

There’s a place I also go to out of town that’s a couple of hours away where there is a spectacular view of a lovely mountain right outside the patio. Staring at it in gazed silence while taking in the beauty of my surroundings, works for me. 🙂

It’s hard to believe there are places without the Internet! But my parents live in one of those places, and I agree it’s nice to take a break.
