I love going to the movies.
A “night out” where I can escape the routine of my busy life and get lost in a story on the big screen is a welcome treat.
And occasionally when an awesome family movie comes out, I’ll take my girls for a rare and thus extra special trip to the movies.
To celebrate Visa Checkout and Cineplex’s new promotion, I was able to take my two girls, Julia and Sophia, and my niece Olivia to see the new release of Monkey Kingdom.
We turned it into a “day and night out” type of event. You see we were downtown Vancouver on Saturday for Olivia’s cheer competition. After she was done her routine we decided to play “tourist” a little downtown and then head to an early showing of the movie. Since we were out and about and on a tight schedule of packing in as much fun in a day as we could, I pulled out my smartphone and went online to purchase our tickets.
Especially with it being the opening weekend of “Monkey Kingdom”, I didn’t want to risk the movie being sold out when we arrived. (I would have had three very upset monkeys on my hands!)
Since I had previously signed up for a Visa Checkout account, it was only a few clicks to purchase our tickets on my phone at cineplex.com.
Then we could relax and plan our arrival time to allow for purchasing popcorn and getting seated just before the movie started. We had a perfect “night out”.
We want to thank our sponsors at Visa Canada and Cineplex for including us in this “treat” of a campaign. And we especially want to thank you for reading, sharing and supporting “5 Minutes for Mom”.

My favorite exercise is brisk walking.
VERY hard to choose! i love going for walks. And strength training isn’t my favorite to do, but i LOVE the results. But right now, I’m sticking to walking, and am really enjoying it!i think the important thing is–no matter what your favorite–to mix it up so you don’t get bored or burn out. sometimes it’s hard to skip over a “favorite” in lieu of something else, but it makes it easier to workout (for me!) knowing it’s not the same everyday!
