Hotel Transylvania is the funniest movie! My family, friends and I recently had a family movie night party and had a free screening (thanks to Crowdtap) of the movie Hotel Transylvania.

I love a fun family movie night. We RARELY make it though movie night, uninterrupted. So we decided that instead of having Movie Night on Friday nights, we’d just make it Family Time and do it on Sunday afternoon! Today, we watched a movie we hadn’t yet seen. HOP! That’s right. We are probably the… [Continue Reading]
