Reel Babies - New Moms at the Movies

Tomorrow is another Empire Theatres Reel Babies. This week we will get to watch The Time Traveler's Wife in a theatre!

My favorite thing to do as a new mom has to be Reel Babies. Moms vote to select the biweekly matinee, which targets parents not children. Some movies we have seen this year include the latest James Bond, Shopaholic and Harry Potter. A local investment company provides door prizes as a sponsor to the event.

My first time, I was a little late and walked in to see the backs of dozens of mom's heads with babies peeking over moms' shoulders. It was beautiful! I always scheduled Keira's feeding around the start of the movie and she would nap for the rest of the film. The movie helped me feel like an individual instead of just Keira's mom. I applaud Empire Theatres for having an event that targets the moms instead of the babies. Reel Babies reminds me that I am still important.
