Family movie nights

While 2020 was our toughest year with school shutdowns, remote working with absolutely no socializing, we as a family did start a new tradition of Friday family movie nights. We have enjoyed watching a whole lot of movies together but it is the below list that have been all our favorites. I have two little kids with one aged 3 and other 5 during this pandemic year.  So picking a movie that could hold their focus and entertain the family as well was key to a successful Friday movie nights! Of course, popcorn was the other key ingredient. 

I have spent a lot of time picking movies often for our family movie nights and hopefully this below list will simplify someone's hunt for a movie. Below movies were either watched on Netflix/Disney+ with subscription or on Amazon prime either free version or by renting for the 48 hour period. This 2 day movie online rentals through Amazon Prime work great for our little kids as they get to watch it multiple times.

  • Disney's Encanto
  • Disneys' Raya and the Dragon
  • Upside-Down magic
  • Luca
  • Harry Potter Series ( Yes, my kids though little still loved it)
  • Incredibles
  • Zootopia
  • Hotel Transylvania (2 and 3 are my favorites but my daughters loved them all)
  • Rise of the Guardians
  • Netflix's Yes day
  • The Polar Express
  • Small Foot
  • Rio and Rio 2
  • Monsters Inc
  • Big Foot Family
  • Wish Dragon
  • We can be Heroes
  • Home ( Love love love this movie!)
  • Vivo

I am pretty sure this list is not complete and will keep updating it as I remember more from last 1-2 years of family movie nights. Happy watching!

Pregnant again!

Surprise surprise! I am pregnant again:) Things are so very different this time around!As they say, no two pregnancies feel the same but 'boy oh boy', was I in for a surprise! My first pregnancy was a breeze with no nausea or any other problems whatsoever. But this time, a lot of things happened very very differently.  Nausea I did not have any nausea the first time around. But this time, it was pretty bad in the first trimester with every morning starting with me puking water out. I gradually started to spread my meals into multiple snack portions and that helped me eat better. Weakness I had extreme weakness for nearly 2-3 weeks in my first trimester which made work very difficult. In fact, I had to inform my manager about me being pregnant just so she does not think I am slacking at work! Anemia Apparently, many suffer from low iron during pregnancy and I luckily did not have this in my first pregnancy. This time around I had to take the iron suppl...

Hush Little Baby (a little more realistic version )

I am sure many of you have heard the 'Hush Little Baby' rhyme. I always wondered if the list of things mentioned in the song ever made any difference to a little baby.  So here's my take on the rhyme based on real life experience;) Hush, little baby, don't you cry. Mama's gonna check if your diaper's dry. And if that diaper looks all good, Mama's gonna burp you like she should And if the burping still makes you weep, Mama's gonna try and rock you to sleep. And if the rocking does no good, Mama's gonna check if you need some food And if the feeding doesn't sound right,  Mama's gonna make it sound like its night And if pink noise is not your choice Mamma's gonna sing in her not so great voice And if the lullaby doesn't make it fine Mamma's gonna try again for her sweet child so fine!
