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!
Grab my grand baby, pop in a kid's DVD, pop some delish popcorn and just chill and snuggle all night!
My teen daughter gets her braces off in 2 weeks and she's having a popcorn party to celebrate her beautiful smile!
I taught my son to pop popcorn from scratch on the stove and now that is the only way he likes it. We experiment with different oils and spices. We have so much fun cooking together and actually talking to each other.
I pledge to walk, ride bikes, and blow bubbles more often with the grandkids. Also to listen to the newest reader with her books from the library.
Family game night once a week. Winner picks dinner for next week's get together. Losers have to cook the dinner together.
Board games and a huge tub of POPCORN are where it's at for us! Naturally the teenagers like to have a contest to see who can catch the most pieces in their mouths without using their hands, which makes the little kids giggle!
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!
We had a blast playing Popcorn Catapult and Popcorn Dodgeball. We had so much fun! Thanks for the idea!
Eating popcorn with my 2 furry dogs. I get a piece and i pop a piece into each of their mouths. They love it.
I made a bowl of Jolly Time popcorn, no oil, real butter, freshly ground sea salt, and posted it on social media and described it. All of my children (grown), and many nieces and nephews remembered me making it for them when they were small!
My family and I are going to pack popcorn in baggies and go on a hike and leave pieces of popcorn behind so people can find us haha!!
I remember standing at the stove with my family waiting for the sound of the first pop! As an adult I pledge to relive that thrill with that experience by cooking our pop corn the old fashioned way! Creating memories as well as a great movie night snack!
My son and I like to have fun with popcorn. We go in the kitchen and create crazy toppings like toffee almond espresso chocolate chip and many more.
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'm not going to worry about the mess and were going to play A LOT more "catch the popcorn" shot at us with a sling shot!
Play dominoes and eat popcorn for a night! I will win of course! Ok maybe not but the being together is a big win!
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.
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....
My husband & I like to connect with our boys by watching Classic Movies from our childhood (like Karate Kid). Of course, a movie isn't the same without some good old fashioned popcorn!
Spring is finally here so we turned all devices off and Jolly Time's Big Cheez on the front porch. We talked about how many ways you can include cheese in recipes. Lots of fun!!
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!)
I pledge to have POP Moments at mealtimes. Also, between the hours of six and eight pm, no computer time, phone, or video games!
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!
