One of the many, many things that have stuck with me from my Mom 2.0 weekend (I will tell you more...later...I still haven't recuperated!) was <a href="http://www.themeredithsinclair.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=4&amp;Itemid=8">Meredith Sinclair's 7 minute talk on Play</a>.

Basically, she just encouraged us to get out there and play. And to use our kids as an excuse to have fun.

She's right, you know. Play -- just for fun play, not "supervising" or "brain-building" play -- unleashes your creativity.

And as much as I love my screens, physical play is better than virtual. Your body has to get into it!

So as soon as I got off the plane, I had some lunch and we took the kids to park. Where I tried to teach the boys hopscotch. They weren't interested, but I was, so I played.

It was fun. I need to do that more often.

How often do you play?
