#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…

There Is Something About Cosplay..*
I have had a rather horrible day today so to cheer myself up I wanted to write a little bit about my new hobby. This year I discovered the world of cosplay.. well when I say discovered, I mean it has become a part of my life. I always knew of cosplay, but I wasn’t sure where or when it was appropriate. But then we (as in Bee & I) booked tickets to LFCC back in March, and I was finally going to get to do it.. but not just cosplay, Disney cosplay. Cosplay has always appealed to me. Since a small child I have loved to dress up. I…

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,…

Ho Ho Homicide – A Christmas Murder Mystery
So normal people have nights out in all their glitz and glam for Christmas, the friendship group I’m part of like to get together and dress up. I much prefer this. Everyone (should) reaches an age where going out and getting plastered at Christmas doesn’t appeal anymore, my little sister reached it on Boxing Day where she lasted 10 minutes in the nightclub before heading home to her boyfriend and puppy, and even though everyone drinks at these gatherings (and sometimes I get a bit silly after a bottle of wine and make a fool of myself still) it’s not to the extent of days gone by. Last Saturday I…

A Taste of Transylville Terror Murder Mystery
So I came back from Paris on Halloween and only had the effort (after taking Little Miss trick or treating around my aunt’s & grandparents houses) to order chinese take out and watch Hocus Pocus followed by The Nightmare Before Christmas. But last Saturday my best friend Bee, threw one of her now famous Murder Mystery parties, Halloween themed but also for our friend Jon’s birthday. It was our fourth this year, however I didn’t manage to write about the previous one which happened to be my favourite! This was because I didn’t take any photos, bit sad about it really! We have a final two already lined up for…

Does A Stitch In Time Really Save Nine? *
It’s come to that time of year again where people start thinking about Halloween costumes, for me it’s been a long time since I personally had to think of my own Halloween costume. Last year I had Little Miss who was dressed as a very cute make shift pumpkin fairy, the year before I was heavily pregnant. Before that I went through a phase of following the Mean Girls “slut” rule, back then I very much had the body for it so it’s been quite a while since I dressed up for Halloween in more than a pair of animal ears from Claires. Thankfully I didn’t have to really put…
