Weekend Boredom Buster: Movie Night!

Posted on

Who doesn’t love a good movie night?  Here are some fun ways to make it special!

 

Have an Indoor Drive In!

You know all those boxes you have lying around (maybe from all those great deals you have been scoring off of Amazon) turn them into cars for the kids and transform your living room into a Drive In Movie Theater. For directions on how to create your cars check out this fun blog post (thanks Mind of Meesh).

 

Snacks!

No movie watching experience is complete without snacks! Throw some popcorn in the microwave (if you want to stock up, check out this deal on Pop Secret Snack Size Popcorn), and grab some candy.  Try choosing a special snack to go along with the movie you’re watching: Goldfish for The Little Mermaid or Finding Nemo, String Cheese for Tangled, Jelly (every flavor) Beans for the Harry Potter films, have a picnic and watch Yogi Bear, be creative and have fun with it!

 

Movies!

So, what are you going to watch?  As you have probably guessed from my list above, we are big Disney movie fans, but don’t limit yourself to that one film your kids have watched a million times (if you can recite it, you’ve seen it too much), pop in something you used to watch as a child, or pick up something from Netflix or the Redbox (check out free codes for Redbox HERE). I recently “forced” my kids to watch Mary Poppins, five minutes in they were laughing and dancing to the music.

 

Above all, enjoy spending time together as a family!

Amazon: Free eBooK- The Day No One Played Together: A Story About Compromise

Posted on

It’s starting to warm up (okay, it’s getting HOT) here in Georgia, and before we know it, it will be too hot to play outside.  Whenever it’s too hot to be outside, there is bound to be conflict between my 4 kiddos.  There is a new free eBook on Amazon that I just downloaded and hopefully we can learn from it.  It’s called The Day No One Played Together: A Story About Compromise.  Looking forward to reading it with my kids!  Amazon prices can change at any time, so grab it now!
