My kids LOVE popcorn. The first time I realized RJ really loved popcorn was when we took him to Universoul Circus last year. He nearly ate an entire tub of popcorn on his own, and the love for popcorn hasn’t stopped since then. Now, even Zayn loves popcorn. And trust I know that kids his age are usually cautioned from eating popcorn because of the choking hazard, but they love it. We’re big on movies and so the amount of popcorn we eat up in here is CRAZY.

With the release of so many Disney movies this year, we’re planning to spend ALOT of time at the movies. We’re gearing up for some of our favorite animated movies to return to the big screen and snacks are always high on our list. I fell in love with the aliens in the original Toy Story and so it was easy for them to inspire this recipe. Plus, #Boymom. Any time the boys get a chance to eat green food (that isn’t a vegetable) they’re all for it!

Alien Popcorn Balls

Makes about 6 popcorn balls

Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tblspn butter or vegan buttery stick for vegan popcorn balls
  • ⅓ cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup unpopped popcorn (about 6 cups popped)
  • 1 tspn Neon Green GEL food coloring
  • 12 Candy Eyeballs

Easy Step by Step Instructions

  • Pop popcorn.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter (or vegan buttery stick), sugar and corn syrup.
  • Stir constantly over medium heat until boiling, then turn it off.

  • Add food coloring.
  • Pour popped popcorn into the pan (or transfer everything to a bowl) once sauce is ready.
  • Stir until all of the popcorn is covered.

  • Mold into balls, place on wax paper.
  • Strategically place eyes, then pop into the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Remove popcorn balls from the refrigerator and serve!

That’s it! Super easy and the kids can help. Use this for your Toy Story themed party, a movie night or if you just want a fun activity to get you into the mood before Toy Story 4 comes to theaters this summer. Popcorn is one of our favorite snacks so I can see this being in rotation especially when the new movie hype REALLY builds up for the kids. Will you be giving it a shot?

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.

@colorfactoryco is all dressed up for fall! We got a preview of ‘haunted hues’ and the kids loved the scavenger hunt where they had to find all the monsters! The installations are similar but the fall feels make it even more exciting! Plus we had some spooky friends join us in the ball pit! And of course.. there were treats!! 😋

If you’re looking for something to take the kids to this fall in the NYC area, I’d definitely check The Color Factory out! Ticketing info is at the link in their bio. Thank you @colorfactoryco for having us!

Inside the private two bedroom villas at @caribero Inside the private two bedroom villas at @cariberoyaleorlando 

This villa literally had everything we needed for our trip. From a full primary suite to an extra room with double beds the suite was absolutely amazing. The balcony also had an amazing view and when you stay in the villas at Caribe Royale they have their own pool section in case you don’t want to head to the main pool. 

I’ve always been a fan of suites for family trips but this was perfect for our girls trip too! Are you team suite or team hotel room?

Thank you again to the team at @cariberoyaleorlando for hosting us!

As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past tr As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past trip was my first time inside Club Cool. I’ve heard of “The Beverly” plenty times but we didn’t think it’d be THAT bad. 

Why is the bad taste delayed? Why do people drink this? Why did @shayewyllie look like she was about to drink more? Why is that even still an option in the soda machine?! I have ALL THE QUESTIONS @disneyparks 🥹😅😂

Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleo Dinner at The Venetian Chophouse at @cariberoyaleorlando was a vibe 🔥🔥

From appetizer all the way through dessert the food was amazing, the service was top tier and the atmosphere was perfect for @shayewyllie’s birthday dinner. Seriously, that stuffed lobster tail had to be the most amazing thing I’ve ever had.

You can also dine at this restaurant as part of @visitorlando’s Magical Nights for $60 per adult and trust me when I say it’s absolutely worth it!

Thank you so much to the team at The Venetian Chophouse for an incredible dinner!

Happy Saturday! This time last week I was waking Happy Saturday! 

This time last week I was waking up at @cariberoyaleorlando with some of my favorite people to celebrate @shayewyllie turning thirty ONcE again 😅.

Caribe Royale was the perfect home base for her birthday celebration! Between the private two bedroom villa, to the amazing on-site restaurants (Starbucks included!), the pools and water slide and the magical transportation to @disneyparks and @disneysprings the resort has everything you can think of for a magical birthday stay! The resort is honestly perfect for a family trip, girls trip, conference or solo-cation. I can’t wait to head back with the fam!

You can check my highlight for more of our trip and just wait til tomorrow when I share the amazing birthday dinner we had 😊✨💕

Thank you for hosting us @cariberoyaleorlando! Can’t wait to be back.
