Valentine’s Day Popcorn Treats

ByJessica Lieb

As a family we spend so much of our time together in the kitchen. We cook meals together, do homework at the kitchen table, play board games, and more. Life is lived in the kitchen. The people at Juicy Juice know this and want to encourage family time so the Juicy Juice website is filled with fun family crafts and kid-approved recipes that get families spending time together.

So the other day, when the boys came home from school I asked them to help me make a special Valentine’s Day snack, Popcorn Treats. We all worked together in the kitchen, adding ingredients and having a blast. Then we sat around the table munching on popcorn, drinking Juicy Juice and and sharing about respective our days. It was the perfect after-school activity.

This Valentine’s Day all I really want to is to spend time with my family, the people I love. Valentine’s is about love and love is my family. How will you show your family you love them this Valentine’s Day? Did you know that according to a recent Juicy Juice Family Occasion Survey that one in four parents (23%) will show their love by decorating for Valentine’s Day.

I received the featured product in exchange for my honest opinion. My opinions are not influenced by the company.
