Movie Night: Follow Me, Boys!

We took movie night on the road with us to a cabin the mountains and it was such a delight.  I simply chose a movie I felt would fit the setting and packed the DVD, some paper goods, and some treats.  It added an extra touch to our relaxing weekend away. 

We had quite the view and I got to ring an actual dinner bell to call my children in from outside, which was perfection.

This movie night centered around the Disney classic Follow Me, Boys! which turned out to be a really fitting choice.  I set up a woodsy table to play to the outdoor themes.

I hadn't seen this movie in ages and it completely charmed me.  I told my husband it made me wish I lived in 1930!  Kurt Russell is just a boy in this film and he is absolutely darling.  I found some camo jelly beans and they added a fun touch.

We ate steaks, potatoes and salad and finished off the night with blondies by the fire as we watched the movie.  It was a sweet way to spend one of our evenings away and added an extra cherry on top of our family time.

Happy Friday!

Tuesday Treats: TV Show Addictions

I love TV.  I loved working in TV, I love watching TV, and I love talking about TV shows.  Today I’m sharing some recent favorites and the best part is these are all shows my husband and I enjoy together.  Those are often hard to find!  

Making It

I was excited about this one and it is exceeding all expectations. It’s full of crafty people showing off their creativity and you get the bonus of Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman cracking jokes the whole time. It’s a DELIGHT.   You’ll find it on NBC Tuesday nights.

World of Dance

It doesn’t get much better than a hip hop crew of kids NAILING IT.  The adults are killing it on this show too. It’s another one where some super creative and athletic individuals get to show off their talents. We love a positive-minded competition show. This one has so much to enjoy. Wednesdays on NBC.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

We’ve loved this show since the Crackle days and now it’s conveniently on Netflix.  It’s as if it was made for me and my husband. It has cool cars, lots of coffee and fascinating comedians. Plus, the legendary Jerry Seinfeld.  The episodes are quick and fun. 

What shows are keeping you up past your bedtime? 

Movie Night: Black Panther

This movie night proves it doesn't take much to pull off a theme.  In this case, I just bought a pack of napkins and a cookie mix.  A tiny bit of effort can go a long way to making your family time extra special and creating memories.

We don't usually watch PG-13 movies for movie night, but we made an exception in this case.  It's definitely not for littler kids.  You can get all the content info here.  That aside... we loved Black Panther.  It was visually stunning, exciting and funny.  My son absolutely loved it and my daughter remarked how she liked how powerful the women are in the movie.

Pro tip... if you're not in the mood to iron a tablecloth, just "scrunch" it and pretend that's a thing.

The napkins brought in the theme and the extras will go in lunchboxes for school.

Does anyone else watch Chef's Table?  We loved Christina Tosi's episode and I squealed with joy when I spotted this mix.  This was an easy and delicious movie night treat.

Black Panther... confetti cookies... sounds like a pretty solid Friday night to me!
