Curious why National Movie Night should be a family tradition? Learn more here! 

I believe intentional family time helps bring and keep families together. In the Borget house, we’ve held a Family Movie Night tradition for years. Every week, we sit down as a family to watch, rate, and review a movie. It’s the one night a week that we can all switch off from the madness of the world and spend some quality, undistracted time together. 

The BIG Issue with Family Movie Nights

The hectic nature of everyday life for some families can make setting aside time for a weekly movie tradition difficult. For other families, it may not be finding the time that’s challenging but finding a suitable movie. When you have kids of various ages, choosing a film that is both appropriate and entertaining for everyone isn’t an easy task. Voting wastes time, and too many conflicting opinions can lead to arguments ruining your special night before it’s even begun! (We’ve all been there!)

How We Solved the BIG Issue with Family Movie Nights

So how do you make sure that your newfound movie night tradition runs smoothly and become not only enjoyable, but memorable? My eldest daughter Jayda and I had this thought a while ago, and after many brainstorming sessions, a bunch of sketches, and ideas, we came up with the Movie Night Journal. The Movie Night Journal is a super fun and interactive tool bringing families together. It helps you keep track of the many movies you watch and includes some fun family activities to liven up your night. Inside there are ideas for getting your movie night tradition started and ways to spice it up with some guidelines, recipes, and of course, lots and lots of movie ideas!
