Randomness

Sometimes I just want to write about something that isn’t in my usual wheelhouse. This is where you’ll find it. And yes, it will be total “randomness”.

$5.50 Movies at UEC Movie Theaters on Bargain Tuesdays!

If you live in State College, you may or may not be aware of Bargain Tuesday at the UEC Theaters! If not, let me tell you this…it’s a damn good deal! All movies, all day are $5.50 and you get a free 46oz bag of popcorn per person when you present your UEC Loyalty Card. (3D movies are a $2.75 up charge). This offer is valid at either State College location – both the College 9 Theater (near Lowes on North Atherton) and also the College 12 Theater (on Benner Pike near the Nittany Mall).

It’s a great date night, family night out or even a solo outing if you are just looking for some peace and quiet away from your kiddos!

Yesterday we went as a family for the first time and saw Toy Story 4. We went to the 5:20 showing at the College 12 and it was not overly crowded at the early evening show time – especially given that it was the first Bargain Tuesday since the movie’s release last week. However, when our showing let out, it was packed for the 7pm-ish showings with a line out the door!

Overall, we LOVE Bargain Tuesdays (minus the 3 bathroom trips during the movie with 2 young kids!). You can’t beat it!

UEC offers Bargain Tuesday at their theaters in the following states: Arkansas, California, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah.

And if you haven’t seen Toy Story 4 – it was definitely worth it! The girls LOVED “Forky”!!! It was waaaaay better than Toy Story 3!

Decorating a “Kids Tree”

FeaturedLeave a comment

No one seems to love the holiday season more than my kids (except maybe my husband!), so I decided that this year they could have their very own Christmas tree in their bedroom. And since our family Christmas tree is very traditional with large colorful lights and antique glass ornaments, I figured that the girls could have a tree that matches their big personalities!

So what do they get?? A girly glitter tree topped with beads, stars and unicorns!

I’m probably crazy, but I’m starting a blog!

suz on the move logoI’m Susie. I’m a Mom on the move always looking for our next adventure!

Here it is folks – my first blog post! As a mom of two darling gremlin daughters (ages 2 and 3), I’m always looking for ways to make my life a little easier, a little more entertaining and to keep all our heads above water. Hopefully some of our experiences may help you out (or at least give you a good chuckle) along the way!

A little bit about me: I mom (hard), I craft, I travel, I tailgate, I obsess over party planning, I love football, I attempt to bake and I snowboard. I sporadically live a healthy lifestyle; flip-flopping between eating clean, exercising regularly and throwing it all out the window.  I D.I.Y. and I love home renovations with the help and handy work of my husband. I love a good sale. I also love food, beer, wine, and a stiff cocktail – especially after a long day of “Mommying”. I swear like a damn Sailor.  I love my life (on most days). I have a fantastic family, some awesome friends, and an incredible support system. Most of all, I have an amazing husband and kiddos. Thankfully my husband is a great sport and has hopped on the crazy train to our journey that we call life. I sure couldn’t do it without him!

As I continue on this adventure, I hope to share a little about my favorite “topics”  – covering regional activities, everyday adventures, some traveling tips, products that we love and even some blunders that we’ve experienced along the way! You’ll be able to find blog posts under the following titles:

  • Home in Happy Valley
  • Crafty Creations
  • Everyday Adventures
  • Momma’s Making Moves
  • On the Road Again!
  • Holiday Happenings

I’m most likely nuts for taking this on – but I am looking forward to sharing this new adventure! Thanks for coming along for the ride!
