    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. Throughout the movie, Owens sisters Sally and Gillian utilize “practical magic” to cast spells, perform a resurrection, and fight supernatural forces. 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…

    Disney Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board

    This week, we added a touch of Disney magic to our Valentine’s Day celebrations with a Mickey and Minnie themed charcuterie board! At our house, Valentine’s Day is a family affair.  Every year, we host a Valentine’s Day party for the kids with crafts, games, and special treats.  And this year, I thought it would be fun to create a themed charcuterie board for our celebration. As you probably know, we love adding a touch of Disney magic to our days.  So, for added pixie dust on Valentine’s Day, I decided to make a Mickey and Minnie charcuterie board.  They are the original Disney couple, after all! To pull it…

    It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown – Themed Dinner

    We capped off our Halloween dinner series with a menu inspired by It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown has been a timeless Halloween tradition since it first aired in 1966.  Based on the comic strip Peanuts, this animated special follows Charlie Brown and his friends as they celebrate Halloween.  However, Linus chooses to forgo his friends’ traditional celebrations, and instead spends Halloween waiting in a pumpkin patch for the mythical Great Pumpkin. Our Great Pumpkin dinner was inspired by Charlie Brown and his friends as well as Linus’s “sincere” pumpkin patch! * This post contains affiliate links. This means, if you click a link…

    Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board

    We can’t get enough of the Sanderson Sisters!  They are the reigning queens of Halloween in our household.  So, this week, we paid tribute to our favorite trio of witches with a Hocus Pocus charcuterie board! If you’ve been following this blog, you know Halloween is a big deal for my family.  And Hocus Pocus tops the chart of our favorite Halloween movies.  We love the movie so much; we host an annual Hocus Pocus viewing party with our friends!  So, when I first saw the Hocus Pocus charcuterie board trend circulating the internet – I had to get in on the fun!  In this post, we’ll share how we…
