Family Holiday Movie Night Tradition

This post is sponsored by Mondelez. All thoughts are my own. 

Nothing will get you more into the spirit of season like snuggling up on the couch with a jolly movie. 

As a little girl, one of my favorite traditions was picking out our holiday movie, getting all the snacks, and then fighting for the comfiest spot of the couch. 

When I think about those moments in our little apartment, I get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. I love replicating these special moments with my little ones. 

No movie night is complete without the movie night essentials...you know, cozy pajamas, a jolly movie, and treats because what’s a movie night without popcorn, movie theater candy, & OREOs!?! Sour Patch and Swedish Fish are our favorites. 

Head to Walmart for all your movie night needs and get ready for a true holiday miracle...a silent night. Well, except for the munching and giggling 😉

My favorite family tradition and a cozy break from the hustle and bustle of this often busy season. Slowing down is the best way of cherishing little moments during the holidays.

That's a Wrap...Christmas 2018 Recap!

Christmas 2018...that’s a wrap!

This was definitely a December to remember and my favorite Christmas yet...The magic. The excitement. The fun. Even the chaos. 

BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER!

My little sugar plums love this season as much as their momma and it melts my heart. 

My favorite moments:

-Watching my littles look for Elfie each morning.

-Making Tamales with my family.

-Watching Christmas Movies!

-Reading Christmas Books!

-Peppermint Hot Cocoa with the kids. 

-Making Gingerbread Cookies with my littles. 

-Singing Christmas Songs...and dancing our hearts out.

-Seeing the Christmas lights. 

-Drew’s Obsession with his Yeti Beanie. 😂

-Amina & Drew’s Preschool Holiday Programs 😍😍😍

-Bea singing “Happy Birthday to Bobby (Baby) Jesus!”

-The look on the kids' faces when Santa actually came!

Was all calm, merry, and bright?! 

HECK NO! 

Is that even possible with three little ones? Not in our family.  It was chaos but the best possible kind! 😉

"I used to think being a kid on Christmas was the best thing ever but it turns out having kids on Christmas is..."

I don't think there is anything can beat being a mom during Christmas.

Our Favorite Spooky Family Movies

It’s the 1st Friday of October...you know what that means?! 

Family Movie Night!!!

It’s time to break out the Halloween PJs and those SPOOKY Halloween movies! 

Who doesn’t love a (mildly) spooky flick and equally spooky pajamas?!?! We sure do! 

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year so I’ve compiled My Favorite Spooky Family Halloween Movies!

Cuddle up with your boos and treat yourself to a hauntingly good time! 👻 

1. Double Double, Toil & Trouble stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen so you know it’s going to be good! Can I get an amen?! 😉 Twin girls who discover that their Great Aunt has been trapped and cursed by her evil twin sister.  It’s up to the girls to break the curse!

2. Hotel Transylvania I, II, & III is a fun family flick starring Dracula, his daughter, and some not so spooky monsters! From a lavish hotel for monsters to a cruise ship vacay...these monsters are livin’ their best lives and keep us laughing along the way!

3. Halloweentown is the story of a girl named Marnie who learns she's a witch and discovers a secret portal to a magical place where ghosts and ghouls, skeletons, witches and werewolves live apart from the human world...Halloweentown! She learns that not all is as it seems and finds herself battling a wicked warlock to save her her family.

4. Descendants I & II is the story of the troublemaking offspring of Disney's classic villains...Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Jafar. 

5. Room on the Broom is based on the book by Julia Donaldson, telling the story of a kind witch who has a variety of animals join her on her broom! Her friends work together when their beloved witch is nearly lunch for a fearsome dragon. Available on Netflix!

6. Hocus Pocus is a classic...the story of Max, his sister Dani, and their friend Allison. When Max ignores Allison’s warning and frees a coven of evil witches, the kids must enlist the help of a magical cat to steal the witches' spell book and stop them from becoming immortal. This is about as spooky as this momma gets and it’s my FAVORITE!

7. The Little Vampire is the story of a little boy who moves and is picked on by the other boys. He befriends a kid vampire and must find courage when his best friend’s life and the future of the vampire race are threatened by a vampire hunter. 

8. Toy Story Of Terror brings back all your favorite characters for a spooky reunion!
