Superhero Shoes – Are Knee High Boots the Secret to Heroism?*
We all know of a world of superheroes, and their power comes in many forms. Both LM and I partial to a bit of power. I’m a sucker for Spider-Man and Iron Man, and of course Little Miss loves the animated kind both Big Hero 6 and The Incredibles and their array of feats that we see on the silver screen is always impressive. We sometimes over look just how hard their life is, running to and from crime scenes, protecting loved ones and fighting villains because we’re all so wrapped up in their heroic antics and flashy powers. But do we ever stop and think about what kind of…

Spoiling Your Pet At Christmas*
Whenever anyone asks I always say I have a family of three, myself, Little Miss and my furbaby Elsa. Elsa is as much part of my family as anyone and since having a cat I don’t know how long I survived without her. Because of this she gets throughly spoilt at Christmas. Why shouldn’t my baby be surrounded by gifts on the big day? Unlike with Little Miss who is able to pick what she’d like Santa, I try to buy Elsa more pratical gifts and of course treats that are going to last us over the next few months. Of course it’s so easy to completely spoil your pet…

Disney Parks Essentials – Our Favourite Small Shops*
Getting ready for any Disney holiday is stressful, be you visiting for a couple of days or a couple of weeks.

Tips for Getting That Perfect Instagram Picture This Christmas*
Whenever I’m asked what my favourite app is my answer is ALWAYS Instagram. I’ve been on Instagram since I got my very first iPhone back in 2010. In the beginning Instagram just worked as social media to share photos, being a very visual person I love snapping, adding filters and posting mundane moments of my life. I was also going through my “self confidence” phase so I loved a selfie. It wasn’t important to take your photos from amazing angles and since everyone love the filters (and back then there was no other way to edit your photos) it wasn’t important to have amazing photography skills. After 3 years I…

An Essay on Why I Don’t Like Gilmore Girls (sorry)
So this past week the internet has been a buzz with the Netflix exclusive Gilmore Girls; A Year in the Life. A four episode revival after a 9 year break. Before I start I just want to say I have watched the show and the revival, I’m not hating on a show I haven’t seen. So for that reason, here is a little back story; I didn’t watch the show in it’s hay day, I chalked it up there with things like the OC, One Tree Hill and at that time in my life I wasn’t into American teen drama because I couldn’t really relate. I was a gawky geeky…
