Technology looks a lot different than it did when my kids were young. With school, creativity, entertainment, and communication all happening on the same devices, setting limits can be complicated. Here are some practical ideas for creating technology rules that work for your family.

MAKE THIS

Halloween Friendship Pins

Remember friendship pins? This Halloween version is a fun way to dress up shoes, backpacks, and jackets or make something festive to share with friends.

FROM MY KITCHEN

Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes

These pumpkin oatmeal pancakes are a cozy way to bring a little fall flavor to breakfast. They’re packed with protein and lightly sweet. They make an ordinary morning feel a little more special.

MY FAVORITE FIND

UGEE sent me the Funbox 3D printer to test, and now I’m completely addicted! It’s safe and easy for kids over age 8 to use alone, and it’s been running almost nonstop since I got it!

LIFE MADE EASIER

Give devices a bedtime, too!

Choose one central place where phones, tablets, and school devices charge overnight. Keeping them out of bedrooms cuts down on late-night scrolling, keeps cords from disappearing, and removes the nightly debate about where devices belong.
