Popcorn is a universal favorite when it comes to snack time at our house. Isabella received an air popper popcorn maker for Christmas and we’ve been making our own popcorn at home ever since.

James likes his popcorn with extra salt — I used to joke when I was pregnant (and trying to watch my sodium) that I would get contact swelling just sitting next to him while he was eating his salty popcorn. The girls and I also like caramel corn and sweet popcorn varieties. (Funfetti? Yes, please!)
