The Big UnPlug
Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Rachel Jonat at The Minimalist Mom It seemed like a ridiculous idea to a lot of my friends and family. For a week I was going to avoid screens, both televisions and computers, and not use a cell phone. The reason: I wanted some space from technology [...]
