How to plan the perfect movie night
There are 3 easy steps to planning a movie night.
Step One: The movie, everyone knows that movie night depends a lot on the movie. We tend to do themes in the Miller household. Several weeks ago we had a Terminator Marathon, some times we do 80’s throw back movies. Jurassic Park week was pretty awesome. Picking a theme means we have to put thought into it, movie night is normally planned several days before the actually movie night.

Step 2: Atmosphere.
Now anyone can just blop down onto a couch and put in a movie. We do a few different things here a few of my kiddos favorites are:
1) Setting Up a snack bar
2) Putting blankets on the floor and pretend we are at the drive in
3) Making a "blanket" tent and watching a movie on our portable. They pretend we are camping
4) Costumes can be particular fun during a super hero movie
These are just a few ideas there is so many fun things you can do. We even took our portable on the trampoline before and had an outdoor movie night! Accompanied by smores :)
Step 3: Snacks, Snacks and more Snacks
Okay so besides the actually movie we all know the snacks severed can make or break movie night. Everyone has there favorite;
chocolate, nachos and of course popcorn. Lets admit it popcorn is the trademark movie snack.
Recently I discovered Dell Cove Spice Co. They specialize in all things popcorn.
Now I have to brag right away about their packaging! I've never how popcorn look so gourmet before.
First off I can't get over how cute their containers are! Each popcorn comes in a round tin with a clear top. Since Quinn can't read he thought this was awesome that he could look at the popcorn and pick which kind he wanted, but color.
I also loved that there was so many kernel choices. Yeah pretty mind blowing right? There is more than one type of popping corn kernel? I kind of feel a little cheated that all my life I thought there was only one kind.
Next is the spices, now my family is already a huge fan of sprinkling flavors onto our popcorn. We are use to the normal "Cheddar", "White Cheddar", "Butter" Ect....

Yup people you read them flavors right! Pretty unique, right?
I personally was able to review a gift set that includes 4 different types of popcorn kernels and 4 different seasonings. Each came in their own tin.
Also I got instructions on how to make them myself on the oven. I normally place a bag in the microwave, never again! I cannot believe that huge taste difference.
Also I'm pretty sure I'm about to become a season snob, Dell CoveSpice Co's flavors were distinct and full of flavor. I dont know how I will ever go back to my old brand. I have a feeling they are now going to be bland!
Movie night in my house is a full on event. Dell Cove Spice CO only makes it more special! To learn more please see my link below:
They also offer more products then the popcorn and the popcorn seasonings. Even though I tried the popcorn, I have a feeling everything else in their shop will follow the same high standers I have come to associate them with. A lot of time went into the flavor and design of my popcorn set.
