If you watched my reel on IG for the family movie night snack board then you already know this is not a tutorial for a fancy snack or cheese board. There are SO many accounts on IG and Pinterest that will blow your mind with amazing snack boards. And I love them all. But this post…this is inspiration of a different kind.
This is your weekly reminder to let go of perfection, the Pinterest Board or the IG worthy moment for a minute and just do “good enough”. “Good enough” will bring loads of laughter, end with full tummies and create lasting memories. Maybe it’s not a snack board. It could be game night, vacation planning, birthday parties or how your clean house is. Don’t let the picture of perfection cost you the precious moment you have right now.
Strive to have Pinterest or IG worthy moments, epic fail moments and good enough moments all throughout your life. The picture of that life makes me smile. It is someone going after it, not taking things too seriously and creating joy in the simple, every day moments. Crazy that we can learn something from a silly snack board.
But this actually came to mind when putting this together with my daughter. At first I was thinking I needed to dress it up or make it look better. And luckily I stopped myself soon enough to realize it was about the moment with her not the snack board.
Do this with me. Ok?
This week – Plan a family movie night. I’ll list some suggestions below (I always use Common Sense Media to check out rating and content on the movie). Buy some snacks. Throw down some parchment paper and pile those snacks high. Have fun and make a memory. If you decide to take pictures – tag me on IG so I can see.
Here is how ours turned out.
And a few ideas for movies too…
- Sing 2
- Hidden Figures
- Remember the Titans
- Finding Ohana
- We Bought a Zoo
- Peter Rabbit 1 & 2
- Jungle Cruise
- Hotel Transylvania Movies
- Dr. Doolittle
- Wonder Park
- Raya and the Last Dragon
Comment below some of your favorite movies and snacks to add. I can’t wait to see your family movie night snack board and what you come up with!
Much love today!
