It’s Thursday afternoon, and I don’t have any “Family Fun Friday” dinner or activity plans yet. It’s been a long week of working from home alongside my husband and two school-age kids and I’m just not sure I have it in me to plan something outrageously awesome. The bonus of stay-at-home restrictions is getting to spend more time with family, but finding new and fun ideas for family night can be challenging for busy parents. Most days, I’ve got it covered, but let’s be honest, I’m not Superwoman. It’s easy to get discouraged when I don’t have a plan, especially since I try really hard to promote a healthy eating and lifestyle for my family.
When the opportunity arose for me to work on a campaign with Litehouse, I was immediately intrigued. To provide busy parents with new ways to make family night fun, Litehouse created an awesome online resource center with free downloadable recipes and family night activity ideas that will be updated every Thursday in October. Since I am a busy mama always looking for new ways to make family night fun, this sounded like it was too good to be true!
Back to the Thursday when I was feeling bummed because I had NO plans - Litehouse turned things around when a giant box arrived at our doorstep with big, bold letters stating Do Family Night Right: 25 Nights of Fun with instructions to open & enjoy, so that’s exactly what we did!

Holy cow! Our box contained 5 themed envelopes; each containing 5 days worth of meal recipes and activities that corresponded to the weekly theme. Under the envelopes in the box were ALL the supplies I needed to make each theme night happen for my family without having to stress over it. Markers, face paint, books, cards, jump rope, trivia cards, pumpkin carving supplies, you name it. They covered every last detail for the busy parent, down to a pen for the Superhero story writing prompts, a quarter for Sports Week coin toss, to a cozy blanket and a Redbox® movie night! See complete rules for details. Cue the relief, Litehouse to the rescue with Family Night Done Right! 25 nights of themed fun all ready to go! Oh, and did I mention the Litehouse Homestyle Ranch Dressing?!

After the kids were done exploring all the contents of the box, they immediately wanted to hear more about Superhero Week. As a family, we sat down at the table and talked about our superpowers while creating our masks. We laughed, sang our favorite superhero songs, ordered pizza and wings and totally got into making our masks while we waited for dinner to arrive. Even my husband, who lets be honest, is sometimes skeptical about the things we say are going to be fun, made a mask! When our dinner arrived, the kids and hubby enjoyed their pizza while dipping it in delicious Litehouse Homestyle Ranch dressing. I always joke that I am the only person on this planet that doesn't like ranch dressing but I'll confess, my mouth started watering as soon as I pulled the cold container of Avocado Ranch out of the freezer bag it was delivered in. I took my chances and didn't order any blue cheese with my wings... #momwin! The Litehouse Avocado Ranch was AMAZING and EXACTLY what I needed for my wings! YUM!!!

After a long week of being cooped up in the house together, superhero craft night was what we ALL needed to do family night right. Mom got all the credit for all the fun, didn’t let the family down and ended up feeling like Superwoman after all. Family Night Done Right AND Easy!
