What are your plans this weekend? Like most of us in the Catonsville area, you’ll probably watch movies, read books, and play games. Again. Bored just thinking about it? Never fear! We’re here with a plan to make watching any movie significantly more fun.

And it’s not just for the kiddos. Adults home alone… you’ll love this too!

Step 1: Build a pillow & blanket fort.

You can do this by simply draping sheets or blankets over chairs, tables, and couches and filling the space with cozy throws and pillows.
