The Disney Store at 30
This year, while I celebrated turning 29, The Disney Store celebrated their 30th. The first store opened on March 28th 1987 in Glendale, California but it would be a few years before the first one appeared in the UK which opened in London the November of 1990. Ever since then they’ve been a fantastic treat to find in many cities across the UK, There are currently 42 stores across the UK and you can guarentee whenever LM and I are near one we’ll be popping in. The Cast Members and displays make it a magical place to be and we always get our Disney fix. As you can guess, Disney…

John Frieda 7 Day Luxurious Volume Range Review
It’s been a while since my last beauty review, but I’m well and truly into the parenting groove these days. I pretty much live without make up on, dry shampooing my hair for about a week while wearing leggings and oversized t-shirts or sweaters on a daily basis. Now I have the daily school run at 8:25 each day looking half decent is right out the window. Especially since LM isn’t the most motivated of children in the morning. Fear not, I have a review of a fab range from John Frieda today that has basically finally solved a hair problem that’s been plaguing me for the last year. In…

Generation Earn to Enjoy*
Without a doubt I’m part of the “YOLO” generation. The You Only Live Once mentality is applied to all aspects of our lives, but mostly to the money we earn. Although I am capable of saving, when I have a holiday booked and I need to pay it off, I choose to invest what I earn in a life of adventures and magic for Little Miss and I, because after all, you do only live once and I’d rather make this life the best possible since it is just the two of us. I’m not the only one. You see more and more people spending their money on holidays, flash…

Getting Through Chicken Pox with ViraSoothe*
Remember I mentioned that Little Miss had chicken pox over Easter and I was going to write about it, well here we go. As a parent one of the of childhood viruses you’re constantly on the look out for is the chicken pox. Every parent wants their child to get it but at the same time, they dread it because the amount of work can be daunting. I vaguely remember having chicken pox as a child. I was 7 or 8 and I remember my cheeks being bright red and itchy. I also remember the week off school and the fact we watched ET for the first time. LM fell…

Who Killed Jason Blossom in Riverdale? – My Favourite Theories
In the past I’ve often written about TV shows I’m watching or my favourite moments in a series, but this is my first time commenting on a plot line in a TV show. However, both my sister and I are completely obsessed with Riverdale at the moment particularly with Jughead and Betty and especially with the through line of the entire season of who killed Jason Blossom. If you haven’t started watching the Netflix original series yet, why the hell not? It’s based on the Archie comic books, something I adored growing up (I loved Betty, I was always a Betty, but back then I was all about Betty and…

Little Miss Cosplays – Belle
Growing up we really didn’t have much money. For a long time my mum didn’t work, then when she started to work she went to retrain as a teacher. We didn’t have a car for a long time although both my parents could drive. Until I was 9 I had never been abroad and even our first trip (which was to Walt Disney World) was because my dad had been made redundant. I wouldn’t say we ever went without though. Any spare money my parents had, they spent on my sister and I, and when I became a mother I vowed I would do the same. But as a single…
