Are you up for a challenge? What would life look like in your house without any screens used for entertainment for seven days?

Holidays with four boys are an amazing adventure at our house. Everything has that slightly overcharged energy. Easter is no exception with the copious quantities of chocolate that the boys receive from their grandparents and other relatives. Last year, after considering the amount of treats that the boys were certain to consume, we contacted the ‘Easter Bunny’ and requested a change to the Easter routine.

I am not a jigsaw puzzle person. Whenever someone suggests doing one, I usually start thinking of better things I could be doing: re-organize the basement, iron my underwear, perhaps watch some paint dry? But then January and February roll around, the store is generally quiet, and the customers coming in are asking about games and puzzles, and I start to wonder if I'm being closed-minded, maybe missing out on some fun.
