Comment READY if you want this too.This didn’t happen because my kids are “easy” or because we never go out tired.
It happened because they aren’t dependent on screens to regulate anymore.When kids know how to play, wait, and handle boredom, outings don’t turn into meltdowns.
They turn into meals you actually get to eat.That’s exactly what we rebuild inside Unplug & Play.
Not perfection. Not zero screens.
Just calmer kids and a parent who isn’t in survival mode every time you leave the house.Comment READY and I’ll send you the details.

Comment READY if this feels familiar.Lip gloss isn’t the problem.
Early self-consciousness is.When kids are immersed in screen culture too soon,
they learn to curate instead of explore.Unplug & Play helps families step out of that fast track
and bring childhood back into the picture.Comment READY and I’ll send you the details.

This will be your 2026 if YOU decide to comment READY - because I want to help 🙌I don’t think parents are asking for perfection anymore.
I think they’re asking for relief.Relief from the constant meltdowns.
Relief from the guilt around screens.
Relief from feeling like they’re always one step behind their kids’ needs.This next year doesn’t need stricter rules or more willpower.
It needs a reset.That’s why we created Unplug & Play... a simple, realistic way to help kids regulate, rediscover independent play, and bring calm back into the home without banning screens or adding more to your plate.If you’re ready for 2026 to feel different in your house,
comment READY and I’ll send you the pre-sale link.This is the year we stop surviving and start rebuilding what kids actually need.

Everyone’s doing “in & out” lists for the new year

Everyone’s doing “in & out” lists for the new year.
So here’s ours… parenting edition.What’s out in 2026?
Using screens as the default.
Entertaining kids every second of the day.
Confusing quiet with regulated.
Calling overstimulation a “phase.”What’s in?
Kids who can play without a device.
Boredom that turns into creativity.
Meltdowns that actually decrease instead of multiplying.
Homes that feel calmer because kids’ nervous systems finally get a break.This isn’t about perfection or banning screens forever.
It’s about breaking the cycle that’s making parenting feel harder than it needs to be.That’s exactly why we created Unplug & Play... a simple, realistic reset that helps kids relearn how to play and regulate, and helps parents stop living in survival mode.If you want 2026 to feel different in your home,

My kids need to struggle a little. Not in a sink-o

My kids need to struggle a little.
Not in a sink-or-swim way, but in the quiet, everyday moments where they’re figuring things out for themselves.That’s how real confidence is built.
Not through praise on demand.
Not through constant entertainment.
But through trying, failing, adjusting, and trying again.When screens step in too quickly, they short-circuit that process.
Kids don’t learn “I can do hard things.”
They learn “something else will do it for me.”Unplug & Play is about giving kids their work back... the work of play, creativity, regulation, and problem-solving......without throwing your whole home into chaos.If you’re ready to raise kids who can actually play, persist, and regulate again in the new year, comment READY and I’ll send you the pre-sale link for Unplug & Play.
