Jolly Time Unplug

Every year it seems like our electronic devices take over more and more of everyday life. How often do you take time to unplug? I know that I am guilty of almost always having my smartphone by my side or in my hand. But sometimes, we just need to give it a rest!

Final_final_jt_

JOLLY TIME Pop Corn is challenging us to take the family pledge and to: Unplug. Pop. Connect. That means disconnecting from all technology and enjoying some quality time! For example: Turn off the computer and the TV, put away the smartphones, pop a bowl of your favorite JOLLY TIME Pop Corn and have some non-technological fun! Are you a musical family? Gather around the piano and have a sing-along. Like crafts? Team up to make something cool all together. Or, you can do my favorite and bring on the board games!

Jolly Time Popcorn

My family has always loved board games. I remember many a Sunday afternoon gathered around my Grandma's dining room table with my aunts, uncles and cousins all playing games. I love that my 7-year-old nephew is now old enough to play some of the more challenging favorites including trivia and word games. It's a great way to spend family time in the evening or on a weekend afternoon.

Jolly Time Popcorn Varieties

One MUST when having a heavy game-playing session is snacks! JOLLY TIME Pop Corn sent us a selection of their products to add to our game playing fun. It was hard for us to choose a favorite, but I think Xtra Butter takes the top spot for me.

Trivial Pursuit

Are you ready to disconnect and take the pledge? Visit JOLLY TME Pop Corn’s Unplug Pop Connect site (www.unplugpopconnect.com) and share YOUR family pledges to receive a high value coupon or possibly win prize package! For more fun, follow JOLLY TIME Pop Corn on Facebook.

    I usually take time out of every day to unplug, and we take either Friday night or Saturday night for family (either game night or movie night) and I unplug. But I need to take one day a week off and completely unplug for 24 hours. I had Jolly Time popcorn tonight, btw! 🙂

    Ahhhhh… good ole Jolly Time!! My Hubs swears this is the BEST popcorn in the world. He eats it in front of the TV at night.

    We always buy Jolly Time popcorn. I usually unplug on Sunday evenings during our weekly game night.

    I do feel like an absolute slave to technology some days, lol! It’s really nice when I do get a chance to unplug.

    I feel like unplugging is so important, especially for the little ones but since I need to keep mine on me for work I feel so hypocritical! I can at least do it for as long as a board game though!

    I think this should be something everyone does with their families. Everyone is becoming so disconnected, there has been plenty times where my family will sit on the phone in the same room and communicate with each other through social media. So I think this is a great idea plus that popcorn looks delicious.

    Love this initiative! We regularly take time to unplug with family game nights and always during family travel (with the exception of a few Instagram recordings of fun memories!) All electronics are banned from the dinner table, too. It’s is hard to stay connected so making the time to is so important in our digital age!

    We try very hard to unplug at least part of the day. We play games, built legos or go out and have some fun hiking or swimming. I think that unplugging is truly important to connect with your kids these days. We all need to know our kids better!

    When my kids were home we had Family game night on Thursday nights. No TV or electronic gadgets allowed.

    We unplug with Jolly Time pop corn as well. We love to play games or watch movies and no matter what we do, Jolly Time is always there.

    This is great, I love that brands are hopping up to promote unplugging. I think that we forget how attached we are to electronics and smartphones. I love that my family takes one night a week, Family Friday Night, to unplug over board games, movies, pizza and a “slumber party” in the living room together! Glad you are promoting this idea of unplugging!

    It’s important to unplug and just spend time with loved ones! I love this so much–I really hope people do this. My husband and I try to do this during our date nights as much as we can.

    This is great thing to do!! We need to unplug and reconnect. I think we will do this at least once maybe twice a week.

    It is funny, we love Game time here but it isn’t official until the popcorn has been popped. Always a great idea to unplug.

    With four kids I often have to unplug and just spend time with them. Game nights and family time are so important and popcorn is a great snack that we all love!
