For Puffy Popcorn Balls

Together Time

THINK OF AN ACTIVITY everyone can do together. Maybe it's as simple as playing cards or your favorite board game. Interacting with your kids in enjoyable activities is a great way to stay in touch!

PLAN A COZY FIRESIDE SUPPER. Pull chairs and TV trays close to the hearth, or spread a blanket on the floor, picnic style, and bask in the warmth.

DECLARE A VIDEO NIGHT. Pick a favorite movie or any movie that you all can enjoy together. How about a classic like Harvey, the story of an imaginary friend, or Fly Away Home, about a great adventure in nature? Have a big bowl of popcorn, just like at the movies.
