Have you ever had a conversation with someone and another person who wasn’t part of the conversation suddenly chimes in? Maybe it was while you were in line at a coffee shop or at your kid’s sports game.

My family and I have recently started a weekly dinner and a movie routine, where we base the dinner menu around the characters or premise of the movie. For us, we’re counting down to an upcoming family trip, but I’m hoping to keep up this fun routine even after our trip.
