"I am Mom Unplugged, a mother of three children, ages 2, 6, and 7 (and way too many pets). We have no TV, no video games, and no loud toys. Please join me as I attempt to make sense of this crazy life we lead. I promise to dispense plenty of unasked-for advice along the way, as I swim upstream in our increasingly technological world, struggling not to drown!"

It’s Not Too Late…

It’s not too late to join us for the 2nd Annual TV-Turnoff Week Blog Challenge! Turnoff Week (as it is now called, since we have more to turn off these days than just our TVs) begins tomorrow, April 21st.

Turn it off on your own, or if you need a little motivation and group support to try it, sign up for the Blog Challenge. I am giving away a $10 Amazon gift certificate to a random participant and now there is even another reward: Jens Hewerer, creator of the Billy Brown series of children’s radio plays, has very generously offered to send a complete CD set of Billy’s adventures to a random participant who completes the challenge!

So if you are “on the fence” and the thought of the potential family/environmental benefits of a TV-free week is not enough to persuade you, perhaps the chance of winning one of two prizes will nudge you over the brink.

Read “the rules” and sign up here.

I was just over at Homeschooling in the Garden State and read that they’ll be participating during the day- we can do that, too! My husband wasn’t wild about the idea of missing out on pre-bedtime unwinding routine, so CJ and I will do without the little we watch already this week. I know this isn’t an “official” entry, but I wanted to let you know I was along in spirit!
