Jan's little thing called, life!

Hello there, This post is my review of the movie Paranormal activity, and a short review at that. I'm a bit late as this movie has been out for 10years, but so much hype over it back then and still hear a lot about it now, we thought we'd give it a watch. This movie is about Katie & Micah a couple who live together with something paranormal living with them. Good points. I really enjoyed the home movie parts and I liked how it just focused on them at home and didn't over complicate things with adding work, social outings etc. I liked how it showed the stress it caused on the relationship, but also the closeness and bond it gave them. I also liked how it had a background story and didn't just happen suddenly. Bad points. Where to begin, it's slow, that didn't bother me at first but then it really got on my wick as it just didn't get any better, I'm not that good with horror movies as I get scared easily, this didn't scare me at all, ...

Hello there, Autumn is upon us, and I love it. it's crisp air and the smell of peoples chimneys brings me joy, the leaves are falling and it is looking beautiful with the oranges and yellows of the leaves scattered around the trees, soon there will be blankets of leaves underneath the trees and I absolutely love it. I thought I would do a wishlist of items I am desperate to add to my very small wardrobe (emphasis on the small please) I am a plus sized Mumma so shopping for clothes is so limited (that is my fault, and my problem) so buying online or venturing out of my town is pretty much the only way I can buy clothes, Asos, Yours clothing, Debenhams, Newlook and River Island I am loving at the moment. So here are my wishlist items. Asos. Fox dressing gown, I have no idea why we all associate foxes with Autumn (is it their colour?) but  we do, even though I see more foxes in the spring and summer than I do in the  Autumn, I think this is so cute, snuggly and fu...

Hello there, Fun blog post, 10 movies I absolutely love, we all need a movie under blankets with popcorn and hot chocolate at this time of year, right? with the kiddies or ones just for the grown ups, here is my list of favourites, not in any preference as I could never pick which ones I love the most. 1. Leon  This is one of my all time favourite films, it's about Leon who is a professional assassin, he takes in a young 12yr old girl called Mathilda after her parents were killed, she then becomes his protegee. This movie is action packed as well as having a warm loving feel to it, in a bizarre relationship, bonding with an assassin kinda way, I love it. 2. Pretty woman This movie I could watch so many times (I have, and much, much more) and never be fed up with it, this film just shows you not to judge a book by its cover. It's about a prostitute who is asked to stay with a man while he is living in a Posh Hotel on business and pays her to be his escort, but they just ...

Hello there, How are you all doing? hope its been a good weekend for you! We are super excited and wanted to share our excitement with all of you.... My Daughter Isabella and myself are going to meet the Sacconejolys (yay!) at their book signing (not another youtuber with a book out, ha) in WHsmith in Milton Keynes, we were so happy when we saw that they were coming to Milton Keynes as it is only about 45 minutes away from us, we will be travelling by car. Sadly the tickets sold out very quick, although that is good for the SacconeJolys, they did mention that they will be trying to get more tickets, so might be worth keeping an eye out. Photo from Amazon. My Daughter has been watching them since they moved to the UK from Ireland, they are a family who vlog on Youtube daily, plus Anna Saccone has her own Youtube channel, she has been uploading videos since 2008 on beauty and then pregnancy and postnatal videos They also have one for the younger audience ca...

Hello there, Just a quick post to say that all went well with my Daughter Georgina's first day (wednesday) at secondary school, She has had a good 3 days there this week. She has been rather tired (not surprised) and a little ratty the closer it got to bedtime but she's come home happy and says she's had a reallt great day and enjoying it.. phew. She has made a few new friends and has been leaving early each morning so she can meet up with her friends, then they all walk together (about a mile walk), I was so worried about how she would settle as it's such a big change from primary school. Do you have children starting big school? If so please let me know in the comments how they got on, I would love to read it, or perhaps they have just started a new school or started reception class, were you nervous and anxious for them? I was a mixed bag of emotions but seeing how happy and settled Georgina is makes me feel so happy for her and I can relax knowing all is good. ...

Hello there, How are you all doing? I hope everyone is doing well. As Autumn is fast approaching, I thought I would share a list of reasons why I love Autumn, Autumn is my favourite Season, so so many reasons why I am absolutely in love with all that it brings, from crunchy leaves, to the musky smell in the crisp air. Here is my list of reasons. 1:  The colourful strolls through parks and woodland areas, the variety of orange, reds, browns and greens, sunshine sneaking through the trees. Stunning and beautiful. This beautiful stock photo is by George Becker. 2:  Halloween, carving pumpkins with my kiddies, finding costumes for 'Trick or Treating', buying treats and seeing all the kiddies dressed up, Halloween parties, seeing all the houses decorated all spooky and creepy. Baking Halloween treats with my kiddies. My kiddies Pumpkins from last year. My Children all dressed up for Halloween. 3:  The smell of the musky dry leaves in the crisp morni...
