Across the nation, people pledged to create a POP Moment: a few minutes to put down the phone, pop up a snack and reconnect with family. Check out all their stories and tips below! Make sure to refresh this page or keep poppin’ back for more moments.
I pledge to summer nights. Around the fire outside making our family favorite smores and caramel popcorn!
I will have a slumber party and talk and laugh with my 4 kids while catching up on their days we do have this once a month and eat stuff we normally don't but it is good family time and popcorn with lots of butter is one of our favorites....
I stepped over to turn a movie on while the freshly popped popcorn sat on the counter. The kids were into the popcorn before long. I had a good laugh and we enjoyed our time together (and made another batch!)
My pop moment was a whole day of no social media! A very hard task, seeing as my spouse is a long haul truck driver and our communication is via social media but we did it. Took the time with the kids and went to the park and took a few pictures. Then I enjoyed a good book an a relaxing bath after a playing a board game with the kids.
I made a popcorn and toppings buffet. The kids loved drizzled chocolate on their popcorn....with sprinkles!
Every Thursday my family unplugs and has pizza and popcorn by the fire and we talk about our day and what's going on in our lives!
I pledge to have POP Moments at mealtimes. Also, between the hours of six and eight pm, no computer time, phone, or video games!
After we grab our popped popcorn, we are heading into our kids" tent that we put up in the living room and we are going to tell stories about when Mom and Dad were younger. The kids really love to hear those!
I am going to put the cook the popcorn without the lid and then sit with my grandchildren on the floor and watch the popcorn fly! Now that is a Jolly Time!!
Make popcorn & have the kids come out side & sit by the bonfire with no phones & enjoy just talking with each other.
I plan on holding a toss popcorn in your mouth contest --- see who can get the most in a row -- winner gets to choose the title for family movie night!
We had a blast playing Popcorn Catapult and Popcorn Dodgeball. We had so much fun! Thanks for the idea!
Have A Giant Movie Night With All 9 Of My Sisters So We Can Spend More Quality Time With Each Other Instead Of Always On the Phone :)
We love a challenge, we're going to guess how many kernels are in our big popcorn bowl and count them out before we much them up!
My POP moment: running like a banshee into my daughter's room turning off the tv and then yelling, tag, you're it and running away!
It was great. We cut off the cell phones and disconnected the router over the weekend, turning them back on Monday morning!
I pledge to have an Unplug. POP. and CONNECT. movie and game night! There's nothing worse than stopping the movie because the phone rang.
My POP Moment was having a popcorn fight with my kids. we have never laughed so hard at each other. I'm still finding popcorn..Love it
I'm going to turn off my phone and the TV, pop up a snack, and have a book reading marathon on the living room floor with my 4 and 6 year old boys. Mama's undivided attention + popcorn + books = a perfect summer evening.
Eating popcorn with my 2 furry dogs. I get a piece and i pop a piece into each of their mouths. They love it.
