  • Movie Night Essentials *

    AD, GIFTED | I don’t know about you, but I love watching movies. Whether that’s catching the latest cinema release, binging the horror movie selection on Netflix or watching one of my old favourites on TV. It’s a great way to spend a night in and one of my favoruite rainy day activities too. But if there’s one thing one I prefer to the cinema its the comfort that comes…

  • The Movies Tag

    It’s no secret that I love movies. I have an extensive DVD collection (especially of horror movies), enjoy finding new movies on Netflix, and love to watch new releases at the cinema. So when I saw Stars and Sprinkles had posted ‘the movies tag’, I knew I had to share my answers. I love a good blogger tag; they’re a great way to get to know the person behind the…

  • Favourite Halloween Movies

    It’s that time of year again! Yes, October is finally here, which in our house means lighting candles, carving pumpkins, and watching as many Halloween movies as possible. It really is my favourite holiday (seconded only by Christmas)! I mean, what other time of year is it socially acceptable to eat sweets, dress up in a spooky costume and binge watch horror movies ’til your hearts content?… Please tell me…

  • Unconventional movies to watch this Valentine’s Day

    Happy Valentine’s Day everyone or, if you don’t celebrate it, Happy Thursday! One day closer to the weekend. 😊 Personally it’s never been a holiday I’ve put much time into, but when Aaron suggested we have a movie night in watching horror movies, I couldn’t say no. I’ll find any excuse to watch a horror movie to be honest, haha. So without further ado, here’s my list of unconventional movies…

  • Horror Movie Tag

    I love a good horror movie! It’s my favourite movie genre and has been since I saw Gremlins in the early 90s; not that I found it that horrific. Gizmo is cute and the other Gremlins had me laughing out loud. Please tell me I’m not the only one? Since then my love of horror has grown and I have a growing collection of DVDs and some Blu Rays. The…

  • How we spent our Staycation

    We had a Staycation last week, the weather was pretty good. Cloudy and not too warm on some of the days but the rain held off! πŸ™‚ In my last post I wrote a list of things we planned to do with our week off, here’s what we decided on. At Home Day – R&R Monday was mostly spent at home and at the gym. Ryan has a weekly training…

  • DVD Organisation

    I’m a DVD/Blu Ray collector. I like to own physical media over electronic copies of anything, including books and music. However, my growing collection has taken over the living room. Here’s one of our bookcases – the tidiest one! Problem is, even though our bookcases are generally tidy. I can never find the DVD or Blu Ray I want to watch. There’s no organisation. When we moved into this house,…

  • Happy Birthday to me!

    So, Wednesday (7th) was my birthday! I had the whole week off work and decided to do a little something each day to celebrate. Monday – BBQ As it was early May Bank Holiday in the UK, all my family had the day off work and decided to throw me a birthday BBQ at my house. In true fashion, we had too much food prepared! My sister made me a…

  • 2012 – year in review

    I wanted to write this post before the end of 2012 but having a stomach bug but a damper on that idea, so I’m writing it now (this post was also going to be my goals for 2013 but the post got too long – that post will follow. πŸ™‚ ) I’ve seen a few of my friends blogs review their past year categorised by month and decided to steal…
