Blogtober 2018- Day #14- My Favorite Horror Movies Part 1

Hi Lovelies! Welcome to Blogtober 2018- Day #14! Today's post is all about some of my favorite horror movies ( there will be a part 2 that will be posted closer to Halloween).

With Halloween coming up I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite horror movies. Now, I have always been a fan of horror movies and I understand that some of you might not be, but that's okay. If you are not a fan of horror movies then you might just want to skip this post altogether. For those who love horror movies get your popcorn and your big fuzzy blankets ready!!!

1. The Scream series (1996). I love this series!! It's nineties nostalgia in a slasher film. What's not to love?

2. Friday the 13th 1, 2 , and 3. That's it...just those three!! I love all three of these. The third movie I still have a hard time watching because it freaks me out that much.

3. Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis is the best! Need I say more?

4. Rosemary's baby (1968). Just the right amount of freaky to scare the crap out of me.

5. The Exorcist (1973). Probably the most disturbing movie on this list and probably the most offensive movie I have ever seen.

6. The Shining (1980). One of the most visually beautiful horror films in my opinion. Jack Nicholson is super creepy in this one!!

7. It. This needs to be on this list. That damn clown gave nightmares for months!! It was worth it though because I loved the story and the movie!

8. Identity. This is another favorite of mine and John Cusack was awesome in it!  I loved that multiple personality disorder was the focus of the story.

9. A Nightmare of Elm Street. This is another favorite of mine. After seeing the movie I would not take baths for months, which brings me to the last movie on the list.

10. Psycho. I would not take showers after seeing this movie, yet it us one of my favorites!

What are your favorite horror movies?

Blogtober 2018- Day #13- My Fall Morning Cleaning Routine

Hi Lovelies and welcome to Blogtober Day #13!!! Today's post is all about my Fall Morning Cleaning Routine. Let's get to it, shall we?

My oldest has been back in school for about 2 months now and I think I finally have my morning cleaning routine established. Now, I do have my 3 year old with me and my husband does work part time so he's home most of the time too.

My intent on posting this is to encourage you as you manage your own home and to give you  a few ideas that might be helpful. Your routine will probably look much different than mine, and mine will probably look much different as my kids grow and can do more things on their own.

This routine is my "ideal routine", so it rarely looks as perfect and streamlined as this, but it's my daily goal.

The night before:

Yes, my morning routine starts at night. The last hour (630-730pm) before the bedtime routine begins, I clean the kitchen, tidy up the living room and dining room, I also tidy up the girl's rooms, and clean the bathrooms.

The next morning:

Bedrooms

As soon as I get out of bed, I make it (if not immediately, then shortly after unless I am washing sheets that morning. I pick up the clothes on the floor and throw them in the hamper, and straighten the desk. I will vacuum the floor if needed as well.

Bathrooms

After washing my face, I straighten the bathroom, which includes wiping down the counters and sink, cleaning the mirror, cleaning the toilet, and sweeping the floor.

Laundry

As I am walking through the house, I pick up any stray clothes and start a load of laundry. I try to do one load a day to keep the laundry under control throughout the week.

Kitchen

While I am making breakfast for my crew, I put the dishes away that in the drainer from the night before and after breakfast I will clean the kitchen. I'll start the crock pot if needed for supper and I will sweep and mop the floor.

Living room

I usually have to tidy this room after the oldest goes to school. I pick any stray toys and vacuum the floor and I straighten the couh and chair.

Blogging.

I try to schedule blog posts the night before (sometimes I preschedule a week's worth on the weekends) so I don't have to do that first thing in the morning. Other days I am not so well prepared, so I write a post and put it up on the blog.

So, that's my morning cleaning routine. Do you have a morning/daily cleaning routine that works for you? I would love to hear about it in the comments.

Blogtober 2018- Day #12- The Age of Aquarius

Welcome to Day #12 of Blogtober! Today I thought I would talk about my zodiac sign. And a way we go..................

Let's talk about zodiac signs, shall we? I know that I am an Aquarius and that the symbol is water bearer. But....that's all that I know. So, I decided to search the interwebs for some information and to see if I fit with the sign. Well, here is what my research unearthed......

My ruling planet is Uranus

My element is Air

My life's pursuit is to understand life's mysteries

My vibration is high frequency (what does that mean?)

My secret desire is to be unique an original 

Let's see..... yes, I want to understand life's mysteries and I strive to be unique and original. Here is more of a description of my sign:

My sign is regarded as the zodiac's leader. Apparently I not only march to the beat of a different drummer, but I make new music as I go along. I am supposed to be objective in judgement ( I don't know that I am), I never let their emotions get in the way  (This I don't agree with because I am extemely emotional). 

Outgoing and amiable, Aquarians attract friends wherever they go and those whom Aquarians befriend have their unswerving loyalty. This is so true, because once we become friends, we are always friends, no matter what happens.

So, I tend to agree with that description. So, what is your zodiac sign and how well does it fit you?

Blogtober 2018- Day #6- My Favorite Book

For today's Blogtober post I thought it would be fun to talk on my of favorite books. Enjoy! 

Fried green tomatoes is one of my favorite books! I think I have read probably more than a dozen times.  I love the plot and I really love the characters that Fannie Flagg has created.

Plot:

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a 1987 novel by Fannie Flagg. It weaves together the past and the present through the blossoming friendship between Evelyn Couch, a middle-aged housewife, and Ninny Threadgoode, an elderly woman who lives in a nursing home. Every week Evelyn visits Ninny, who tells her stories about her youth in Whistle Stop, Alabama where her sister-in-law, Idgie, and her friend, Ruth, ran a café. These stories, along with Ninny's friendship, enable Evelyn to begin a new, satisfying life while allowing the people and stories of Ninny's youth to live on.

What is your favorite book?
