    Good morning! Whew! I am ready for the weekend! We have been working so hard on our new home & selling our current home. To say it’s been crazy around here is an understatement. We can do hard things! Right? ;) This week I decided to create a special movie night in the park for my kiddos. They have been so good about helping out during our move & keeping the house clean for all the showings. I thought they deserved a little bit of a break. ha! Plus Peter Rabbit Blu-Ray + DVD Combo is now available at Walmart. My kiddos LOVE that movie. We went & saw it when it came out, and we were excited to buy it & add it to our family movie night collection. It’s a fun movie that the entire family will love & watch over & over again! Today I’d love to share how easy it was to put together a family movie night, a yummy Bunny Munch Popcorn recipe & where you can get tons more Peter Rabbit inspired movie night ideas. Let’s get started! :)
