    Pop Secret Rio 2

    My kids love Family Friday Movie Night. There is just something about making a huge bed in the middle of the living room and eating Pop Secret Popcorn together. It doesn't really matter if they have seen the movie a million times, they still want to partake in Family Movie Night. I have talked about some of our movie night recipes before (prosciutto pizza and oreo pudding cookies), but this caramel corn is the ultimate movie night treat!  A quick trip to Walmart to pick up the new Rio 2 movie and some Pop Secret popcorn, and we were on our way to a fun filled evening!

    During the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is nice to create down time with our kids. Having three children, it is hard to disperse our time evenly. We all converse nightly around the dinner table, but at that point one of them is trying to talk over the other one because they have to say what they need to say that very second before they forget. With movie night, there is silence  (besides the movie course) and we can just enjoy their presence and they can and do enjoy ours.To me, it is all about creating memories with the kids. I have no memories of my parents doing things with me and I vow to be different. I want my kids to talk and laugh about our traditions 30 years from now around the Thanksgiving table.

    Birthday Caramel Corn

    Family Friday Movie night always begins with homemade pizza and ends with a special dessert. I usually have the kids help, and they absolutely love it! While we all love Pop Secret popcorn and their numerous flavors, it also makes killer caramel corn! It was deliciously buttery and remained crunchy for quite a few days after Family Movie Night! Combine this with the fun adventures in Rio 2 and we had a great evening that everyone enjoyed!

      What a sweet post! I want to create fun family memories for my kids too. And I've never tried making caramel corn with buttered popcorn, but I am so into that idea. 🙂 Obviously there needs to be a big batch of this in my future!
