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…

Setting Up an Online Store – Is It a Viable Business for Stay at Home Parents?*
In short, the answer is YES. Anything can be a viable business but the thing with setting a shop online, it’s not as easy as it looks to make it worth the time and money. You have to be willing to put the effort in and that’s something people don’t seem to consider, especially stay at home parents who already have a full plate. You see other online stores advertising (we’ll get to more of that in a bit) their wares on social media and you think “hey, I could do that”, it looks like it could be an easy side hustle to bring you family a little more cash…

Disneyland Paris Haul January 2017
I know not everyone is a fan of “hauls” and in my opinion it is a silly word for things you’ve bought, haul always sounds like you’ve stolen it but if you say a post is a haul in the blogging world people know exactly what you mean. ANYWAY, this is just a quick round up on the things we bought while in Disneyland Paris last month (much more of a mouthful than haul). Usually I forget to take photos before things are opened or put away but this time I remembered to photograph all by one item that LM opened while we were on the Eurostar, it was a…

Things I’m Looking Forward to Doing in Disneyland Paris, January 2017
What.. another Disney trip? Yes, 10 days today we’ll hopefully be less than an hour from arriving in Disneyland Paris. Due to money constraints 2017 is going to be the year of Disneyland Paris. We have no Walt Disney World trips booked (I know, I know) but right now I have 2 trips to Disneyland Paris booked and paid for and a further 2 or 3 on the cards, one hopefully with LM’s friend Bella as her family are planning on visiting from the States around about June! Thankfully aside from Bella’s family, two more of our friends will be visiting the UK during the year so we will have…

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. It’s not cheap and you want to have the most magical time possible and part of that magic is in the preperation. As a parent, for me the prep is in the outfit planning and the little things that will really make Little Miss feel like she’s in the Disney bubble and I’ve found if you shop small rather than shopping while at a Disney Parks it doesn’t need to cost the earth. Over the last two years I’ve come across so many different shops through places like Etsy,…

10 Things That Were Awesome at Walt Disney World March 2016
We’re nearly half way through the time between our two trips to Walt Disney World of 2016. A lot of people say “already?” but to Little Miss and I it feels like a lifetime. To a lot of people it’s just another holiday, but to Little Miss and I, it’s where a lot of our friends are. Where we’re at our happiness. I rarely see the smile that dominates LMs face in the States while we’re sat indoors in the UK because it’s constantly pouring with rain outside. We miss it. Because we’re nearly half way through, I felt it was time to have a real reminiscing session about the…
