I’m Leanna. This blog was born out of the chaos of mommin’ hard all day everyday while tackling little projects along the way! I hope you can find some easy DIY inspiration, family friendly recipes, and some other fun things to make your day while you are here.
Cut down on your kid’s screen time, and beat Summer boredom with this FREE Summer Screen Time Rules Checklist Template.
Oh I love summer don’t get me wrong, but this year… these summer months are just a little bit different. The kids haven’t attended camps like they used to, spent hours at the pool, or gone on our usual summer vacations (thanks to COVID).
Being cooped up in the house with no set schedule can be fun but it can also lead to boredom. Not only is my house chaotic most days, but my kids turn to screen time more often then I would like to admit.
I am no way saying to eliminate screen time. I think screen time can be a lifesaver but I also believe it should be monitored.
Today I started a checklist to eliminate the constant argument of allowing my kids to have their electronics. Instead of screen time being an expectation, it is now a treat that has to be earned.
That is where the Summer Screen Time Rules Checklist comes in. Each day your kids will ‘earn’ their screen time. By completing these tasks, your kids will not suffer from Summer boredom either. The more activities they complete, the more time they earn.

I hope this summer rules checklist helps you keep monitor screen time this summer!
