Cozy snuggles & movies.


Today I have a poorly daughter (Isabella) so no school for her today, so after we've been to her doctor's appointment, it's snuggles and a movie for us.

In our house, October to January is a time when we watch a lot of movies, we love to get the big fluffy fur and fleece blankets out and snuggle up as a family to watch a movie.



I thought I would list some of the movies we love to watch in October. Perhaps you and your families love to watch them too, or maybe you loved watching some of these when you were a child, I know I did, which makes watching them with my children even more comforting and special.

Here are my top 15 family movies (minus Beetle Juice? although my kids love it)
  1. Hocus Pocus
  2. Hotel Transylvania (1&2)
  3. The Adams Family 
  4. Beetle Juice (although only for the older Children)
  5. Coraline
  6. The Nightmare Before Christmas
  7. Witches 
  8. Harry Potter (any)
  9. Fantastic Mr Fox
  10. James and the giant peach
  11. Charlie and the chocolate factory
  12. Alice in wonderland (both Disney & Tim Burton's versions)
  13. Bedknobs & Broomsticks
  14. Casper 
  15. Toy Story (all 3)

Well that's just a short list, I could mention so many more, we love movie nights, even more so when it's wet and cold outside. 

What are your favourite movies to watch in Autumn?

Thank you for reading

Ta ta for now

You've got some great movie choices there! The Nightmare Before Christmas is my personal all-time favourite, although I will admit that Harry Potter, any of them, is right up there too!

Blogtober #4

Giving birth to a huge baby. Day 4 of  Blogtober I thought in today's post I would write about the birth of my youngest child (now 10 years old) Isabella, she was a hefty weight, not at all your average baby weight, although I have heard of much bigger babies being born (my eyes sting at that thought) so here is my story of how my beautiful little girl entered the world. Before I begin, I would like to say that I kept telling midwives I was carrying an elephant inside me, they would say she is only going to be about 1 lb bigger than my older two children's birth weights (8lb 6oz & 8lb 7oz) I had SPD (where the ligaments over stretch in the pelvis, causing a lot of pain) I was depressed as I could hardly do anything, the pain was immense, I used to cry whenever I needed to get up out of my bed to go to the loo, (which was often, babies like using our bladder as a trampoline) I would literally crawl to the bathroom, the midwives just said they couldn't ...

Harvest festival. Today I was inspired to write this post, as tomorrow Isabella's (Daughter) school is having a harvest festival assembly, so I was inspired to talk to you about food banks. Food banks are so essential for so many people, more than you could imagine have to use them, people who you would assume would have a good wage coming in from their jobs like Nurses for instance, so many Nurses are struggling to make ends meet, it is so heartbreaking that such kind, caring and selfless people like Nurses are struggling as much as they do, also hard working families who are working so much to the point of exhaustion, yet sadly struggle to get by once bills are paid, parents going hungry to make sure their children get a meal, its a desperate time for a lot of people, and not just around harvest festival and Christmas time, this is every day of every week. This is where you, me and anyone else out there can help, there are so many food bank collections out ther...

Nail art.

Nail art, I love, love pretty nails. Oh how I love a pretty manicure, sadly my budget doesn't stretch to a pro to do it so I do it myself. Sometimes its a hit but often its an epic fail, but practice makes perfect as they say, right? so here is a some that I took photos of. Most of the fails I just removed and tried, tried and tried again (yep many big fails) I get inspired by nails I see on instagram and YouTube but many of those were just huge fails for me, next time I shall show you exactly how much of a fail by posting a photo or two. Christmas Gingerbread Men Nails. I loved these cute little Gingerbread Men, I bought them off ebay they are water transfer nail decals. so cute! My nails are painted with a red gel polish by Sensationail which was a gift and cured in a UV lamp with a glitter top coat. The gold nails are a gel polish by Bluesky and I bought it off ebay (ebay is amazing) and added the gingerbread men and glitter topcoat which is also by Bluesky and ...
