Latest Projects — movie night

We needed party food and treats for our family movie night watching Disney’s Encanto. I made Arepas con queso, zucchini Rellenos and tostones with guacamole as entrees. I added Bruno’s vision cupcakes and flower pretzel bites as sweets. For our popcorn I made paper cups that looked like the candle. Hurricane mocktails were the perfect drink!

My husband was traveling for work to New Orleans, and brought home Beignet mix from Cafe Du Monde. If you have never had a beignet from Cafe Du Monde, you have been missing out! They are incredible! Luckily for you, if you don’t have a trip to New Orleans planned soon, you can order their Beignet mix on Amazon!

The last movie night we had was Disney’s Enchanted, which my husband called a chick-flick. I promised him the next family movie night would be an action movie.

When Disney+ first came out I remember trying to watch it only to realize it wasn’t yet on the platform. I recently read an article that talked about the sequel, Disenchanted, coming to Disney+ later this year. Not only was I super excited for the sequel, but it...

My oldest daughter is a junior in high school and it has finally started to hit me that we only have a year and a half left of her living at home before college. I really want to spend more time together as a family while she is still here. Most Friday nights my 6 year old daughter, my husband, and myself watch a movie together.
