National French Fry Day

You have to love a Monday that is actually a FRY-day! Today is National French Fry Day and I am HERE FOR IT.

You don’t have to ask me twice to enjoy a basket of fries. In my opinion the skinnier the fries, the better. If only skinny fries made you skinny!

These fry papers look so cute in my little baskets. I’ve had the baskets for years. I love their novelty and find all kinds of ways to use them. They store easily and are great for entertaining.

Today is one of my “20 Days to Celebrate in 2020” and while the pandemic caused a few on the list to be rearranged, this one is going strong. You can get a cute printable copy of the list here:

Movie Night: Pirates of the Caribbean

This summer we are missing the beach so badly, but using movie nights as a way to travel and explore from home. Even pirate-infested waters sound good at this point! We are working our way through the Pirates of the Caribbean movies on Disney+ and while I love the ride at Disneyland, but this is my first time watching the films!

Jack Sparrow’s adventures inspired a tablescape worthy of the high seas. This tablecloth has the look of an old map and we served drinks from message-in-a-bottle glass containers. The movie night napkins will be in next month’s Sassy Napkin Society boxes! They are versatile enough to fit all kinds of movie night adventures.

The simple addition of paper pirate dessert plates to our dishes we already owned completed the look.

This newly-acquired attachment for my vase was just perfect. Fresh flowers are such a treat and always seem to make their way to our movie night tables.

Of course Pirate’s Booty was in order as a crunchy movie snack.

If you have younger kids, you could use this same theme for this movie… one of our all-time favorites from when our kids were little.

Summer is a great time to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and enjoy a family night full of adventure, action, and swashbuckling fun.

Formula 1 Returns!

We are Formula 1 fans in our household, so we were revved up that the season is finally starting! I’m all about making anything into a little celebration, so I adorned the kitchen island with a fun set-up for our race-watching treats. Photos of our favorite drivers became cupcake toppers, inviting everyone to choose the driver they wanted to see on the podium.

The race was an exciting one, the Ferrari-red velvet cupcakes were delicious, and the company was even sweeter!
