family movie night | The Mommy Insider

Evenings are hectic at our house. By about 6:00 I’m exhausted, still working (I work from home), helping my son with his homework, catching up on laundry, and trying to get my daughter to simmer down and get in ‘bed-mode’. ‘Pizza Night’ started off as my excuse to not fix dinner, but it’s turned into something much cooler.. a family fun night and a tradition that we all love. Tony’s Pizza is a fast and easy meal that the entire family enjoys and looks forward to.

Tony’s Pizza helps my family stay connected. We usually sit around the living room table (pizza night is the only time we don’t eat at the dining table), talk, tell jokes, or watch a movie while we eat pizza. Pizza night is our night to just sit back and laugh with the kids, catch up on what’s happening at school, or just relax and watch a good movie together.

What I Love About Tony’s Pizza:

– It’s easy and quick to prepare allowing me to spend time with my family instead of with the stove
– There are lots of topping choices including my kid’s favorite, Hamburger
– Pizza leaves little to clean up!
– Tony’s Pizza is available in a few sizes including snack and pouches.

As you may have seen in my recent Whrrl Photo Story, a few days ago I went on a shopping trip to prepare for my family’s Pop! Camera! Action! Movie Night. If you aren’t familiar with Whrrl, check it out and watch my very first Whrrl Story.

I know what your thinking.. “a Family Movie Night!? Do you really think we have time for that Alicia”?
That’s what I thought too but after talking to my husband and kids about it and getting them in on the decision making process, everyone became excited about the idea and we had a very successful Family Movie Night last night complete with lots of Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter popcorn and 100 Calorie Pop popcorn.. for me.

I don’t like for my kids to watch a lot of TV and I can’t sit through an entire 30 minute episode of anything so I mostly watch movies and TV episodes on my iPad so I can pause and restart at my will. Besides having the time, that’s my #1 reason for not having a Family Movie Night. I simply can’t imagine the thought of sitting through an entire 1.5 – 2 hour movie without stopping it a few times. But.. I did it last night, thanks to some amazing belly laughs and delicious Pop Secret popcorn!

We had so much fun just sitting on the couch, watching a movie, eating popcorn, and laughing. I’d recommend you have a Family Movie Night very soon if you haven’t lately. Family Movie Night is a great way to just sit and chill with your kids. My favorite part of Family Movie Night was hearing the kids laugh.. like real belly laughs.. in unison. I can’t help but crack up when the kids belly laugh.. you know?

Thanks to Mom Spark Media and Pop Secret for providing with such a great idea and a very fun Family Movie Night!

Here’s a little skit the kids did, thanks to Pop Secret and Mom Spark Media for the great props (boa, trophy, and clapper board).
