Walt Disney World Planning… 120 Days to Go
I can’t believe 30 days have passed already since I was writing my first planning update! I can’t believe 60 days have passed since we booked our dining reservations! I’m so glad we did as I checked the other day and there is nothing during the time we’re there for the restaurants we want! I have already been warned by some WDW cast members that the 10 days we’re there, 7 of which will be insanely busy! That means I need to be on the ball 60 days before to ensure I get the fast pass reservations I want, especially for Anna & Elsa! As a WDW holiday is an…

Shopping for Kids this Christmas*
A couple a months ago I compiled a post of my favourite toys for children age 0 – 2 as that’s the only experience I really have at the moment. Up until this year my daughter never asked for anything I just guessed what she’d be into. This year she did ask for a couple of things but no where near the stage of making a list, but it’s a start. Of course being the Disney head she is she did ask for some Frozen toys and my dad got it into his head that he wanted to get her a Frozen castle of some sort which was difficult but…

The Wizard of Oz by U Star Novels Review
The Wizard of Oz Personalised Novel* £16.95, U Star Novels One of my favourite gifts to buy for my daughter are the kind she’ll appreciate when she’s over. For all her birthday’s and Christmases I always try to get one thing that I’ll put away for her to have more for pleasure from when she’s grown up. In the past this has included personalised Christmas decorations, a jewellery box, a bangle and a few other bits, but for her third birthday I have got her a personalised version of one of my favourite books as a child, The Wizard of Oz. I was offered the chance of a review copy…

Walt Disney World Planning… 150 Days to Go
Five months today we’ll be waking up in Florida and going for our first character breakfast. It’s pretty magical to think after my birthday in March, the next time I see my best friend will be in Cinderella’s Castle. I often have to pinch myself to remind me that this is FINALLY happening. Yes, a lot earlier than I ever imagined as a mother, but a lot later compared to the last time I was there. Anyway, since I love planning holidays and I love writing about travel, why not make a mini (or should I say, Minnie haha Disney humour) about what planning has been going on and what…

My Eight Favourite Toys for 0-2 Year Olds
LINKS REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE My daughter has a lot of toys, in fact.. that’s probably the understatement of the century. And yes, a lot of these are pink, but that’s because pink is her favourite colour. I am not one of these who sees toys as girls toys and boys toys, I tend to buy my daughter things I know she will enjoy. However saying that, I also see nothing wrong with girls liking pink and dolls, and princesses.. I like pink and dolls and princesses so I see that more as a reason why my daughter does not because I’ve forced her to be like…

The Cold Never Bothered Her Anyway..
I remember being a kid and every new Disney movie that was released, my sister and I made it a point to learn every single lyric from it. We were Disney kids, so it’s natural that our children are heading in the same direction. Aside from Tinker Bell & The Pirate Fairy (which is currently in my wardrobe waiting for Christmas) the only other classic Disney animation movie that has been released within Little Miss’ living memory is Frozen. Yes she loves Tangled, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Ratatouille, Toy Story (all three) and her newest favourite The Princess & the Frog, but Frozen is her favourite. Maybe it’s because it’s everywhere,…
