Blog Updates and Changes

Up until very recently, this has been a family blog chronicling our life as unschoolers. Our daughter graduated in spring 2017 so I felt I needed to take our blog into a different direction. I tried blogging as a mom with an adult and how my life was changing, but the tone was very different from how I had been posting. I thought about it and have decided to make this an all Disney blog. I removed all of the past posts except for our Disney trip reports.

My daughter and I have a few Disney videos we made and posted on my YouTube channel so I think I will post those here, although they are older at this point. I’m not sure why I never thought to share our vlogs on this blog, but inspiration has finally nudged me to share.

I plan on posting some Disney at Home and Disney craft posts too. However, we are currently in the process of renovating the kitchen and repainting the whole house. Most future Disney home and craft posts will be after that project is complete.

We are also going to Disney next year for our 25^th anniversary! Go us! Look for the pre-trip and trip reports. Yeah for Disney vacations!

I plan on starting a new “old mom musings” blog soon. That blog will pick up where I left this one when I decided to make changes. I will post the link here when it is ready to go live.

Until next time,

Have a Magical Day!

Fairy Godmother Cosplay

I went to an Anime convention this past weekend with my daughter and some of her friends, along with one of my friends. It was mostly anime but there were some costumes from other IP's, such as Disney. I met several adult cosplayers who cosplay Disney character pretty often and enjoyed my conversations with them. It got me thinking about my days as an older teen and twenty something and my favorite cosplayers back in the day. I also did some cosplay back then and was feeling nostalgic. As an 50+, plus sized adult, I generally do very generalized, non-specific cosplays. But in recent years I have a dream cosplay of being Fairy Godmother from the original Cinderella animation from 1950. I just adore her. I started discussing it with my friend and wondering how my con experience would be different if I went in recognizable cosplay. My friend and I sometimes get treated as "less than" at cons. It feels ageist. I am won...

Home Made Mickey Waffles

I usually make eggnog pancakes for Christmas morning, but I waited too long to get eggnog and it was all sold out. I remembered that I purchased a Mickey waffle maker (why have I not been using this appliance?) and I thought Ahh, holiday Mickey waffles! I just used a regular boxed waffle flour but added a little vanilla extract and green and red food dye! Very festive! Also on the menu was omelet roll, potato casserole, fruit salad, candied bacon, and cranberry sauce. It was all super yummy!

Loss of Pets

We have had kind of a rough year. We have lost three dogs, and its been an adjustment. We had an older dog that was a German pointer lab mix. We also had two “puppies” that were about 8 years old, that came from the same litter. We were never able to get a breed on them because they were so mixed. The vet felt that even though they came from the same liter that they may have had two different fathers. Last November out little blonde girl, Eevee, got really sick. She was lethargic and had bloody stools, so we took her to the vet. She had stomach cancer and we went ahead and had them try surgery. The surgery didn’t go well. She ended up going septic, and we had to have her euthanized. It was so hard. We were with her and gave her pets and told her we loved her. She did pass peacefully. She was ready to go. Not only did we lose her, but ewe ended up having to take out a loan to pay for her surgery ...
