Practical Magic Themed Dinner
Grab your broomsticks, because we’re getting the coven together for a Practical Magic themed dinner! Practical Magic is the story of the Owens family of modern-day witches. The family faces closed-minded prejudice in their small Massachusetts town, as well as a curse that causes any man an Owens woman falls in love with to die.

Practical Magic has a charming and cozy autumn aesthetic perfect for this time of year. And with a long-awaited sequel arriving this fall, it seemed like the perfect time to plan a Practical Magic…

Scream Themed Dinner
What’s your favorite scary movie? Because tonight we’re heading to Woodsboro, where the phone rings off the hook, and dinner is an utter scream. So, lock your doors and check the closets, because tonight we’re sharing our Scream themed dinner! Scream is my ultimate favorite scary movie – you could say Ghostface is my Ghost-fave (this terrible pun was inspired by numerous typos while composing this article). I love the whodunnit aspect of the movie, which keeps you guessing who’s behind the mask. Plus, the film is full of 90s nostalgia (RIP video rental stores 😢). With Halloween around the corner, I decided it was the perfect time to create…

Coral Reef Restaurant – A Disney Dining Review!
Dive under the sea, because we’re heading to EPCOT to share our Coral Reef Restaurant dining review! Coral Reef Restaurant has been an EPCOT staple since it opened its doors in 1986. The restaurant is famous for its panoramic views of the Living Seas aquarium. While dining, guests can admire a living coral reef and more than 60 aquatic species including sharks, rays, and sea turtles. Growing up in the 90s, I caught my first glimpses of Coral Reef while watching the Boy Meets World and Full House Disney World specials. As a child, I thought it looked like the coolest restaurant ever. Dining alongside marine life and an occasional…

Step up to the plate, because it’s time to swing for the fences with our Sandlot dinner and movie night! The Sandlot is a summer staple in our house.
