"I grew up in the '90s and 2000s with the sound of dial-up and the feeling of figuring out how to use a computer for the first time. When the first iPhone came out, I was in junior high school, and I learned more digital things as time went on. As parents to our 3, 6, and 9-year-olds, my husband and I are trying to raise our kids with a nice balance between modern and analog. Our goal is to keep the '90s alive in our household."
"We live in a really busy time, and I don't want to pretend we don't have modern conveniences in my house. We have TVs and other things that are definitely not from the '90s and back further, but living a more analog lifestyle has allowed my family to connect, slow down, and have more fun moments together. We use everything from a film camerato a typewriter, a Tin Can phone, VHS tapes, and more."
A 31-year-old mother and senior art director in Utah raises three children, ages 3, 6, and 9, with a deliberate balance between modern technology and analog experiences. The household adopts film cameras, a typewriter, a Tin Can 'landline' phone, VHS tapes, and Blockbuster-style movie nights to recreate '90s culture. Modern conveniences remain in the home, but analog activities are prioritized to encourage slower, more connected family time, build children's independence, and share tangible, sensory experiences from the parents' youth that bring joy.
