In our first installment of “What to do if …..Series,” we are focusing on lice. Why? Because it is my nightmare, and our family just went through this experience. What I thought would be a catastrophe, turned out to be not that big of a deal.
I know what you’re thinking, and I thought the same thing. But really, all the pain and disgust turned into curiosity and fascination thanks all to the Minnesota Lice Lady. We even walked away from this experience with smiles on our faces.
Here’s our story.

As a family of six we have attended one — count it, one — movie together in an actual movie theater. After factoring in even matinee ticket prices, a jumbo tub of popcorn and a box of Milk Duds, it’s just too tough to justify the splurge when we can cozy up at home with Netflix and a couple bags of microwaved ‘corn.
I am not immune, however, to the somewhat throwback charm of the big screens. I spent half of high school selling tickets and popping corn at a second-run cineplex and loved (almost) every minute of it. So between the nostalgia and the obvious need for a bargain, when our family members head out to the movies, we look no further than the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis. You can’t beat the ticket prices ($2 for matinees, kids 11 & under and all ages Tuesdays and only a buck more for adult evening tickets – cash only) or the fresh popcorn with real butter! The prices for treat deals will make a large family cry tears of joy, as well. Plus, the ambiance — 50’s era living room decor and an enormous screening room with comfy stadium seating — is half the fun.
Here are some other movie houses around town where you might catch a bargain or otherwise more kid-friendly flick with your young ones:
