Since we are fast approaching the end of another month, I thought that I would find some time to share my happiness highlights from March. You know what they say, better late than never!
#1: To welcome in the start of a new month I created a week long ‘to-do’ list with multiple tasks to complete each day. Day one proved to be a success with everything being ticked off.
#2: I had a very early start this morning but when I opened my blinds it was snowing! A beautiful start to an otherwise ordinary Wednesday.
#3: I officially passed over my first month working with Screen Rant! Click the image below to read through my articles and catch up on the latest movie/TV related news.
#4: Finishing work and having a takeaway as a treat to start the weekend.
#5: Going out for the day, walking along the pier to the beach and later enjoying a meal with Stephen at Pizza Hut.
#6: Celebrating Mother’s Day and knowing that my mum appreciated her handmade card but not nearly as much as I appreciate her.
#7: Gently breaking into Monday morning (and the start of the week) with a cup of tea while browsing the internet.
#8: International Women’s Day – Feeling empowered while reading about influential women and witnessing all of the support and positivity being exchanged within the community.
#9: Inspirational woman and costume designer Janie Bryant favourited and thanked me for my tweet about her.
#10: The smell of freshly baked cakes throughout the house.
#11: Finishing work and relaxing with Stephen!
#12: We purchased a second PS4 controller and subsequently had fun playing an assortment of games (namely Lego Jurassic World) for most of the evening.
#13: A perfect Sunday: Cuddling and an afternoon nap!
#14: Taking some time out from our usual schedules to enjoy some bird-chirping weather.
#15: Managing to establish a better sleeping pattern and routine to take full advantage of my days.
#16: Having complete support from my family, always.
#17: Passing my trial period and levelling up with Screen Rant!

#25: Completing an early shift to then start a long weekend for Easter.
#26: Spending some quality time with the whole family, which included plenty of laughs and cuddles with my niece.
#27: Happy Easter! Today we had a family movie day, comprising of: The Good Dinosaur 3D (2015), The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Alice in Wonderland 3D (2010).

Thanks Chanelle, it is quite a simple series but I find that it is a nice way of recording small memories and taking stock of the things that really matter. x

Haha, same. I feel like ‘to-do’ lists are going to feature in every single post within this series, just because it’s so satisfying when you cross your way through them! #MonicaBing

This is a great idea for a post, Adele. Wasn’t Twin Peaks just bananas? One of my favourite binge-watching experiences ever.

Thanks Matt! I’m always marathoning SOMETHING but Twin Peaks had the greatest impact of anything I’ve watched, ever. As you can see, I revisited it again recently and it ran like a dream, a beautiful (but completely surreal) dream. I can’t wait to watch S3! SPOILER ALERT: Now I’ve moved on to The X Files – again. 😉

Yeah, I feel so weird when I watch that show. As for The Ex-Files, I’ve never actually watched it in sequence. I’ve just watched a couple of dozen episodes out of order.

I watched The X-Files, 2-3 episodes a week, with my brother and his (now) wife from 2008-2010 (with Millennium / The Lone Gunmen included) but decided to revisit the show after picking up the BD boxset towards the end of last year. Out of interest, what are some of your fav. TV shows?
