Halloween is just a few days away.
I realize that many Christians do not trick or treat or do anything regarding the holiday but I do I let my kids trick or treat.
In my house, we aren’t celebrating anything on Halloween except for dressing up in a costume (which is fun and none of the costumes are scary or gruesome) and receiving candy.
This year my kids are dressing up as Perry The Platypus
As holidays go, my kids like to watch the movies that relate to the holiday. Here are our favorite Halloween movies: (**The links below are my referral links.

This is one of my favorite movies, no matter what season of the year it is. It’s cute and the kids love it, too!
Charlie Brown makes our list every year. We usually end up getting out the entire Peanuts Holiday Collection (It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown / A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / A Charlie Brown Christmas)
My younger 2 kids have watched this movie over and over again throughout the last year when we got it and they still enjoy it!
My mother-in-law got this for the kids last year and being Toy Story fans, they loved this one, too!
Addams Family Values was on the other day and Maddie sat down and watched it. She thought right away that our family should be the Addams Family for Halloween…maybe next year!?!
Welcome to Women With Intention Wednesdays!
Welcome back to another great week of community building and support for one another! I’m so glad you are here and I hope you enjoy this week’s featured post and blogger!
This week’s most popular post is from Elizabeth at Guilty Chocoholic Mama with her post I Don’t Deserve To Be Treated This Way. (She had me with chocoholic mama as I’m snacking on a Snickers while working on this post!) 🙂
Thank you all for giving me such great posts to read each week! Keep them coming!
Here is what you will find at Women With Intention Wednesdays:
- This is a link up party where you come to encourage one another, have fun, and share your best posts to help women live their best life!
- In other words, any post that you have written about Christian living, homemaking, relationships, healthy living, living a frugal life or that helps another woman can be included in this link up! Please just them family friendly (I reserve the right to remove anything that I feel isn’t appropriate).
- This link up is beneficial for every woman! Whether you are a blogger or a reader, this is one you won’t want to miss! I’m very excited to offer this link up as a place to not only build new relationships between bloggers but also by providing an awesome resource of information for my readers!
Here are the rules of this link up:
- You must link directly to your post (no homepages, please).
- Please link up no more than 2 posts each week and please do not link up the same post week after week.
-
For every link you add, please visit the link before you and one other of your choice. If your links are consecutive visit the blogger before you and your choice for the 2nd link. It’s impossible to build relationships when no one communicates! Please don’t link and run!
- By linking up you give me permission to share your posts and photos on this blog and social media. Each week I will choose a featured post. I will only feature and pin your post if you have followed the rules. All features will be linked back to the original source.
- You also give me permission to email you a quick reminder that the party is live. You may opt out anytime. I don’t spam my readers with emails.
- Answer the community building question below so we all get to know each other! That’s the purpose of being here! 🙂
In order to help grow this community with great posts and relationships, I would love it if you would add the party button to your sidebar, your blog directory page, or a text link at the bottom of your post. This isn’t required to participate in the link-up but I would really appreciate it!
If you were featured be sure to grab a button for your site! Thank you for linking up and sharing your great posts!

Community building questions of the week: Just for fun, who are you hoping wins the World Series: Royals or Mets?
Normally, I really couldn’t care less, but being a Nebraska girl with no professional teams in the state, the Royals are who I’ve grown up watching my entire life. (Plus my husband is a HUGE Royals fan!) So go Royals! 🙂
We don’t “do” Halloween at our house but I do love the fall season and having friends in for a bowl of chili and some great fellowship!
I very much enjoyed the article about YOU in the newspaper – someone had shared it on Facebook. It was really well done!
Thank you! I was very humbled to be featured :). I love fall for soup and gathering with friends!
Oh my heart, thank you so much, Jenny and other lovely Women With Intention! You have made my day! I am humbled and honored and so blessed to be part of this blog hop. Jenny, my little family just watched “Great Pumpkin” last night, and you know that movie has staying power when my girls are watching it with us as a tween and teen! Thank you again so much for this sweet surprise…I’m off to gratefully add my new blog bling right now!
You’re so welcome! Lmk if the button doesn’t work, some weeks I have to enter it twice…it’s touchy ;). Thanks for linking up!
I’m really not following the World Series (since the Red Sox aren’t in it) 🙂
Have you run into the Garfield Halloween movie? It’s pretty funny with that fat cat’s obsession with candy.
I love Garfield (my twins do, too)! Definitely checking that out. Thanks, Michele!
I grew up in Northern New Jersey so I’m hoping the Mets win.
🙂 I’ve never been there but hope to someday! That game was incredible last night!
Cute! Hope they have a great time trick-or-treating. 🙂
We always watch the Charlie Brown special when we get back. My youngest says this is his last year of trick-or-treating. They grow up fast. (Although my 20 year old told me last night that he and a group of his friends were going to go trick-or-treating this year. haha.) 🙂
I love that tradition! We might have to borrow that 🙂
We always have a lot of fun with trick or treating. It has proven to be a great way to connect with our neighbors and reach out to others. Love it! Cheering for the Royals because my Aunt and Uncle live over there and so of course hoping for a win!
Our small town community is awesome. One of our friends serves all the kids hot dogs, chips, and drinks so they can stop and have supper. Our kids love it :).
I am loving all of those Halloween movies and the fact that they are kid friendly too! Well most of them not sure if Ghostbusters is entirely appropriate.

Lol about the ghostbusters! I was going to leave that one out and my husband thought I should add it 😉
Thanks for another great link up party! I meet all sorts of amazing bloggers at your parties!
There are some great ones here! Thanks for stopping in! 🙂
After last night’s game — i’m going for the Royals!
We stayed up for the entire thing. What a game! 🙂
Thank you for hosting! <3
Great post, Jenny! I love that you shared your favorite movies with us. Those would be awesome to watch with my nieces. And I concur with you about Halloween. I think kids should be allowed to trick or treat and dress up as long as it’s not the dark and gruesome stuff. The candy and dressing up is one of the joys of being a kid. Thanks for sharing! Great to visit and link-up with you today! GOD bless you, Love! 🙂
My grandkids would be so excited over your duckbill platypus costume! And the cat lady is so original, great costumes. When my daughter was a teenager she watched the Adams’ Family movies a lot. I like some of the lines from the movie, “Don’t torture yourself, that’s my job.” Unfortunately true in some relationships.
Such cute costumes! Love it!
Blessings and smiles,
Lori
Thanks! Blessings to you, too 🙂
I actually have no preference! We’re not big sports fans around here. But my brother in law on the other hand is a HUGE Mets fan!
