    Halloween 2015

    As I’m sure you’re all aware, yesterday was October 31st, Halloween. But in our house it’s felt like Halloween has gone on for a long time. It was Halloween when we went to Disney World in September and we attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party. Then we went to Disneyland Paris at the beginning of October and it was also Halloween there! Because of all this Halloween activity, Little Miss has really got into it this year! As you all know she adores to dress up, so we decided to push the boat out with her costume on the day by going for one with a wig. Because of…

    Cosplay for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2015*

    One of the highlights of our most recent trip to Walt Disney World was that for the first time ever I got to experience Halloween at Disney, including one of the famous Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Parties. In case you’re unaware, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (or MNSSHP) is a hard ticket event over the Halloween period at Magic Kingdom. Hard ticketed means you need to buy an additional ticket to your park pass, but believe m when I say it’s worth every penny! I was so incredibly excited about it, having already watched the parade “Boo to You” 100 times before flying out but I had managed…

    #WeSoFancyDress Back to School Party

    Let’s face it, my kid is queen of fancy dress. If she could dress up every day as a different princess, she would. I think that’s why she loves a Disney holiday so much because she CAN dress up every day. Anyway, before Florida we have to go through 2 weeks of school, which means practical play clothes every day, and a rather unhappy Little Miss, so when Asda gave us the chance to host a #WeSoFancyDress back to school party with some of their range of fancy dress costumes for kids, I jumped at the chance figuring it would keep her going until our trip. I adore Asda’s range…

    Little Miss Cosplays, Part Three

    Today I’m sharing another three of Little Miss’ Cosplays that she’ll be wearing to either Walt Disney World this month or Disneyland Paris next month. It’s getting harder and harder to pick just a few photos from each mini shoot, she seems to be getting more and more into it. Especially if there are props involved. I’d say so far, Alice and Belle have been her two favourite to photograph because of the vast array of props! I’m so glad I started photographing her outfits because I’ve been setting up play dates while we’re over there with Disney mum’s, so our kids will be coordinating! Plus, she’s growing like a…

    Sheffield Film and Comicon August 2015

    On Saturday I finally went to a convention mainly to cosplay, hooray! It’s the first one of the year but hopefully it won’t be the last one. As Bee and I had such a fantastic time at London Film and Comicon we have been desperate to go to another one but with having such busy lives as well as money and time restraints it hasn’t happened. But trust me when I say, we have big plans for making 2016 the year of all the conventions and cosplay, so stay tuned! I travelled down to stay over Friday night however we were only attending the con on the Saturday. I’m glad…

    Little Miss Cosplays, Part Two

    So last week I shared three of Little Miss’ outfits, or cosplays for when we go to WDW next month. One of her favourite parts of our trip in April was dressing like a princess every day, well a princess or Wendy Darling. Because of this we’re taking it to another level in September. I’m incredibly blessed to know fantastic seamstresses who have have made LM some wonderful outfits for her to wear. Some are pretty accurate, others are altered to make them wearable in the Florida sun. LM spends a lot of time dressing up, so being able to walk around the parks dressed up is something she thoroughly…
