I was challenged to put our family on a daily Tech Timeout. No computers and no television for at least one hour a day. With today's reality of email and facebook alerts, too many television shows to count, and kids fighting for gaming time on the computer - this was a welcome break for us. Sitting down for one-on-one time to make a puzzle, play with play dough, go for a drive to the river, wash the family vehicles, or go on a family bike ride are all ways that our family likes to spend time together tech-free. Here's a handy list of ideas for you to give this a try with your family. Are you ready to take
the Tech Timeout pledge?
And to encourage the resurrection of good old-fashioned family game nights, I have a giveaway for you. And there will be 5 winners! Each winner will receive a 7-in-1 game set including checkers, chess, backgammon, dominoes, cribbage, cards, dice, and an instruction booklet. Just use the rafflecopter below to enter. Giveaway open to US and Canada.

What a great idea. Our family often plays Othello. Having a stack of board games in the living room has helped keep the TV off.
