The comforting reliability of made for TV Christmas movies

  • Posted on December 14, 2017
  • No comments
  • byChloe
Made for TV Christmas movies are my ultimate December-time guilty pleasure. They fill the perfect easy-to-watch, escapism, cosy-up-on-the-sofa-because-I’m-in-the-mood-to-feel-festive gap that I start to crave as soon as the advent calendars…

  • There was once a time when I was a little bit gutted that getting accidentally pregnant meant that I’d never get that unexpected proposal moment. Where it dawns on you that someone wants to spend the rest of their life with you. By deciding to go forward with our pregnancy, when Sam was 23 and I was 24, we were saying without saying it out loud that yes, we were committing ourselves to each other. I didn’t get that proposal, but do you know what is infinitely BETTER than that? Experiencing our wedding with our children by our sides. I honestly thought they would find it a bit boring, but they were 100% there for it. They each had their own important roles for the day and they were so excited for us, and for our family to be doing something so special. We could have rushed into a wedding years ago when we started a family. But waiting until it was right for us, and having our children at ages where they could grasp the significance for our family, was more than perfect ❤️ (photos by @shariandmike )

  • Favourite thing about our wedding number 1: I couldn’t have been prouder to have my eldest walk me down the aisle. Whilst I was clearly bricking it during this photo, look at the smile on his face. He was so excited 😍 #bredwedding Photo by @shariandmike

  • The day he stops referring to himself in the third person (and as “Dotto” because he can’t pronounce O’s at the beginning of a word) will be a sad, sad day 😭

  • It’s #internationalcatday and I’m joining in for the first time. This is Bear. He’s part Short Hair and part Maine Coone. He came to live with us a couple of months ago when his family relocated to Australia. I’ve never lived with a cat before, so can now officially say that I quite like the furry little chaps. Although I think it could be mainly because Bear is actually a dog at heart. He is big and cuddly, totally unphased by all the action in our family house, and weirdly, LOVES to sit on the ‘pitch’ in the middle of the boys football games. Can you guess which of our children is the animal lover? 😊😜
