Day 25

Sometimes I wish I could give my kids the days of simpler times.  The days before social media, cell phones and the availability of instantaneous access to information.  I wish boredom resulted in a desire to explore a tree row or a hillside instead of downloading a new app.  As I find a growing desire to disconnect from "the grid," I struggle with how to teach my children about the large world happening around them, the one that is not contained in the screen they hold in their hands.
