When you’re a busy mom of four, it can be difficult to find time to connect one-on-one with each of your kids… especially with your tween daughter who demands less of your time than your newborn and toddler but still needs her mom. And with a newborn at home, it’s difficult to get out of the house just the two of you, so you have to get creative and find ways to spend one-on-one time together at home. That’s why I’m excited to have a mother-daughter date this weekend: a movie date at home.

It’s easy to toss a movie in the DVD player and crash on the couch with the whole family for a family movie night, but I wanted to spend some one-on-one time with my tween daughter, so I planned a mother-daughter movie date for us to enjoy while her brothers and baby sister were taking naps/rests this weekend.

How to Have a Mother-Daughter Movie Date at Home

Step One: Shop for Snacks

Earlier in the week, I stopped at Walmart to pick up some of our favorite movie snacks for our mother-daughter movie date. We both LOVE Swedish Fish, so when I saw the display at the front of the store, I made sure to grab a package. Don’t you just love the new packaging (and the $4.48 Rollback price)?!?

The packaging might be new, but the fish is the same! Visit the Walmart Family Mobile Social Hub to find out when a Walmart Family Mobile in-store rep will be available to assist you in learning more about the Walmart Family Mobile phone plans. The reps will have Swedish Fish samples, too!

I also grabbed some pretzels, popcorn, and sodas, because what’s a movie without something crunchy and salty to munch on and a bubbly drink to wash it all down?!?

Step Two: Pick a Movie

Thanks to the “Plus” portion of our Walmart Family Mobile Plus plan (see below), we were able to pick out a free movie to watch together from VUDU. We chose Dolphin Tale to go along with our “fishy” snack as neither of us had seen it yet.

Step Three: Set Up the Location

Since the other three kids were in their beds resting/sleeping, the living room was all ours. We set up our snack station on the ottoman and cued the movie on our Smart TV.

Step Four: Ditch the Phones

Since we were focused on spending time together, we put our phones on silent and left them just out of reach. As she is gaining freedom by being allowed to stay connected with her friends through supervised use of a cell phone (texting and talking only), we are also working on learning how to disconnect regularly and intentionally.

Step Five: Enjoy the Movie

Once we were all set up and disconnected from the outside world, it was time to kick back and enjoy the movie together.

Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan

When we were looking for a new phone for our tween daughter to use to stay connected with her friends (because I didn’t want her friends calling/texting my phone), we did some research and found the Samsung GALAXY GRAND Prime (currently on Rollback at $129, normally $149) on the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS plan.
