Movie night in

Having a young kid means that I am just now getting around to watching Oscar nominated movies. We did manage to see American Hustle, but that was the only one. I wanted to see The Wolf of Wall Street in the theaters but with its 3 hour length, traveling to and from the theater, maybe getting a meal, that's like 6 hours of babysitting we would need to find! Not happening. The best thing about watching these movies at home is that you get to control your snacks. ;)

Since you have to have popcorn my new favorite is anything by Popcorn, Indiana. The ingredient list for the Movie Theater flavor is: popcorn, non-GMO canola oil, organic clarified butter, salt. That's it! And if you've read recent studies on the fat content (and not to mention chemicals in that "butter") of movie theater popcorn, you know how we are in need of better options. And because in my house we like ice cream (me) and sorbet (Jon) we turn to Ciao Bella. Cutest packaging, best flavors (blood orange, we love!) and good quality ingredients! Who cares we are seeing movie months late when we have the best munchies?

I love products that have simple ingredients that you can actually recognize!

Isn't it crazy how much life changes once baby arises. It's not bad, just different. Going to the movies, going out to leisure dinners, working out in the evenings, etc just seem like distant memories. Granted these things can still occur but they are definitely fewer and father between!

It's good to recognize that date nights are just changed - like a movie night in, or a homemade meal that you eat and then sit together at the table and talk for longer than usual.
