If you do anything today, let it be watching Enola Holmes on Netflix.
Seriously, once you are done reading this, hop off, take a lazy day and watch Enola Holmes.
Enola Holmes is the new Netflix movie that is based around the sister (Enola) of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (which by the way is played by Henry Cavill).
Enola is played by Millie Bobby Brown which you may know as Eleven from Stranger Things.
In the show, Enola is raised to be a fierce woman and breaks away from the traditional roles of society. She follows in her brother’s footsteps as she tries to find her own path in life.
Honestly, this movie has it all – action, adventure and a strong woman presence.
I also love that the show “breaks the fourth wall” which means Enola constantly talks to the camera, engaging with the audience.
I have to say, I LOVED Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven but I love her even more as Enola. I seriously want more of her in this role (crossing fingers for sequels).
It is so good, it is actually the most-watched show on Netflix right now!! I can totally see why.
If you haven’t seen it, you need to. Better yet, watch it with your daughters. It has a great message and is everything I want my daughter to be.
You know what I need in my life right now? More Halloween!
It’s officially Fall and that just makes me happy even if the world is falling apart. So, when I heard that A Hocus Pocus reunion was happening, my world just got 10x better!
Disney
Bette Midler aka Winifred is hosting a reunion special alongside her Sanderson sisters, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy.
The event will be part of Bette Midler’s annual Hulaween festivities, thrown to benefit her environmental nonprofit organization, the New York Restoration Project.
Oh and if you want to attend the virtual event, you will have to buy a ticket.
Tickets for the one-hour event cost $10, and the proceeds will benefit the organization’s environmental and social justice work.
Once you purchase your ticket, a personalized access link will be emailed in advance of the reunion, as well as early-access information about all the Hocus Pocus fun the event has in store.
This sounds like so much fun!! It’s Hocus Pocus and for a great cause, what more could you want?

This is a great way to see the Sanderson sisters once again until Hocus Pocus 2 releases (which was totally confirmed is happening).
If you love cuddly stuffed bears and pumpkin spice in your life, you need to run on over to the Build-A-Bear website because they are selling a bear that SMELLS like pumpkin spice and get this, it’s less than $20!!

Spirit Halloween JUST released a 7.5 Foot Demogorgon Prop that is so realistic looking, I am sure it wills scare all the trick-or-treaters away!!
He’s found his way out of the parallel dimension known as the Upside Down and now he’s here just in time for Halloween to feast on any trick-or-treaters who get too close! With the power to travel through dimensions at will, brute strength, and an incredible ability to detect blood, the Demogorgon is certainly not a creature to be taken lightly!
Truthfully, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a prop like this so bad in my life.
Aside from Halloween, this bad boy would look awesome all year long in our family room, I mean, why not?
Featuring a giant stature, sharp claws, and a head that reveals a petal like face lined with razor sharp teeth, this Demogorgon has caused plenty of trouble in Hawkins and now he’s coming to run amok in your neighborhood!
This Demogorgon static prop stands at an seven and a half feet tall and weights nearly 80 pounds and is sure to have your decor looking strange this Halloween!
Keep in mind he is a static prop so no noises or movements but he is so realistic looking, I don’t even care!
It’s no secret that Halloween will be different this year and if you are looking for an alternative to traditional festivities such as trick-or-treating, these Mini Halloween Piñatas are it!

The best part of it is that these are extremely inexpensive! I found everything I needed for my kids for under $20 at Walmart! Amazing, right?

I ADORE Mandy Moore. I’ve loved her ever since I saw her act in A Walk to Remember.
And now, I love watching her on This Is Us. She plays a great mom and maybe, just maybe playing a mom on screen will come in handy because she just announced she is expecting!!
This Is Us – the show that makes me cry happy and sad tears more than any other show, is getting ready to air it’s 5th season.
NBC
Now, if you are a fan of This Is Us you probably already know that it Season 5 was set to premiere on November 10, 2020.
