'Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one remembers to turn on the light'
Hi guys 👋🏻
I love Halloween! So I thought I would share with any of my fellow Halloween fans out there, what I’ve been up to this spooky season!
Let’s take a look…
What have you been up to this Spooky Season?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
Hi guys 👋🏻🦇
October is here and that can mean only one thing!!
Halloween 🎃
I love a bit of Halloween, mainly because bats are my favourite animals, and it’s their time to shine, but also because I love a good horror film and I just love the spooky, autumn aesthetic.
Each year, I make a little Halloween hamper of sorts for my Nephews and Niece, and since the whole ‘Boo basket’ trend is going around, I thought I’d do my kids’ take on one…
Ideas for fun things to include…
Firm favourites with kids at the moment… slime! And fidget poppers. Both of these are only a few pounds in Tesco.
A cute little Halloween themed teddy. One of my nephews loves spiders, so I’m sure he will love that. Then I got the cute little pumpkin for my nievlce and the cute little frankie for my other nephew.
Some fun little cups which I’m sure they’ll get lots of use out of!
I also like to get them something to do or something crafty. These little ‘Paint your own wooden characters’ Halloween themed, of course, are from Asda for 2 (each pack has 2 characters inside!)
And finally…
Some edible goodies!
What’s Halloween without a sugar overload 😅🤣
I picked up the good old classic Freddos from Tesco in a multipack, and the Halloween chocolate lollies are from Aldi.
Fingers crossed, they will enjoy these! Hopefully, this has given you some inspiration if you fancy putting one together, too.
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
I Love Autumn & Halloween… here’s what we got up to !
We went out for the day, to a nearby farm!
It was brilliant.
There was SO much to do.. we made wands, got sorted into our Hogwarts house, had a spooky trailer ride, explored the spooky maze, picked and decorated pumpkins, pettee guinea pigs & rabbits, looked at loads of other animals and had a bug trailer ride.
A great family day out, themed really well and with lots of fun to be had.
We had a fun little family Halloween party at my sisters house.s
She set up some fun activities for them, we also had a buffet of party food, spooky tunes and Halloween pass the parcel.
Me & Tim always do a few Halloween traditions at home – these include carving a pumpkin (we’ve done one every year that we’ve been together) and I make us ‘Spooky Sausages’ which are meant to look like mummies.
I also like to watch horror films but Tim isn’t too keen on those so thats usually just me haha
Some of my favourites are Scream, Halloween, Hocus Pocus, Nightmare before Christmas and Nightmare on Elm St.
Our local cinema was showing some Halloween classics on Halloween.
Me and my Twin sister Sarah always watch horror films together so we went along and watched the original Scream! I can’t believe its the 25th Anniversay 😱
Scream is my favourite ‘Scary Movie’ and it was cool to watch it on the big screen.
What did you get up to this Halloween?
Do you have any traditions??
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
We are fully into Autumn now and this is definatly the perfect season for snuggling up, all cosy, with a good book.
What did I read in September…
If you have followed my blog previously, you will know that my reading challenge consists of reading at least two books each month.
Unfortunately, due to an Eye Op in September I wasn’t able to read as much as I would have liked.
However, I did listen to an Audio book instead, in order to complete my two book quota!
Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult
&
Harry Potter and the Philosphers Stone (Audio book)
I enjoyed this Jodi Picoult book, I havnt read one of hers in a while, although I would say it isnt one of my faves compared to some of her others.
I wasnt 100% sure how it was going to end unil I read it which was good for keeping you going and it was a subject matter that made you think.
Harry potter of course was a winner in my eyes and is an absolute classic. That was my first time listening to the audio book in full and it really helped curb the boredom when I was recovering from my op.
This month I will be reading…
The big little festival by Kellie Hailes
(See previous post for synopsis – September reading challenge) this is the other book that I was supposed to read last month.
The Husbands secret by Liane Moriarty
‘Mother of three and wife of John-Paul, Cecilia discovers an old envelope in the attic. Written in her husband’s hand, it says: to be opened only in the event of my death.
Curious, she opens it – and time stops.
John-Paul’s letter confesses to a terrible mistake which, if revealed, would wreck their family as well as the lives of others.
Cecilia wants to do the right thing, but right for who?
If she protects her family by staying silent, the truth will worm through her heart. But if she reveals her husband’s secret, she will hurt those she loves most . . .’
As always recommendations are welcome!
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
