The Wanda Witch Party Roundup Post
I can tell it’s getting close by the emails coming in…that wonderful time of year when dozens of you readers anonymously invite all your friends to a big party and take on my favorite pseudonym…Wanda D. Witch. I hosted my first Wanda Witch party 10 years ago and I’m still going strong. We’ve done variations of it in 4 different states. It’s been the source for new friendships and awesome memories we retell with friends to this day. But the benefits don’t end there. Some of my favorite family...

This past New Year’s Eve I was hit with a party dilemma. We were hosting a big family party at our house and I needed a game that could be played by everyone – adults and kids.

I must admit, I’m a bit of a Halloween fanatic. Even though Halloween is still 8 weeks away and it’s over 90 degrees here, my fingers are already itching to transform my house into its full fall form. I wasn’t always this way. I used to see Halloween as a fun little weekend on the way to Christmas but all that changed about 7 years ago when I hosted my first Wanda Witch party. That’s when I realized all of Halloween’s hidden potential. I’ve been an addict ever since. I’ve hosted loads of...
