Friday Family Fun Night: Bedtime Stories & Dirt Ice Cream Recipe

Today I’m sharing with you our very first family fun night post. I’m so excited and I hope you will enjoy coming here every Friday to see what we have planned for you.

Spending quality time at home with your family is very important and that is one of the reasons why we decided to start this feature. It’s also a frugal way to have fun! You don’t have to go out and spend tons of cash at the cinema to have a great time!

This week’s family movie pick:Bedtime Stories staring Adam Sandler, Rusell Brand (he steals every scene he is in)Â and Keri Russel. Bedtime Stories is a fast-paced and magical family movie where hotel handyman Skeeter (played by Sandler)Â tells a story one night to his niece & nephew, and later finds out that the story comes true in real life.Follow Skeeter, Bugsy (the very cute big-eyed Guinea Pig) and the kids on a fairy-tale adventure! This is a great movie for kids ages 4 and up! Both kids and adults will enjoy this DVD!

In the movie Bedtime Stories, junk food is introduced to the health-conscious kids by Skeeter (Sandler) so I thought sharing a build your own Dirt Snack recipe would be a great fit.
