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 25th 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...

Not All the Disney, But Still Some Disney

I posted back on May 9 th , 2018 , that I was changing this blog from a family blog to a Disney blog.  I also mentioned that I was going to create a new blog for me to post about how life changed now that our daughter was an adult and doing school was no longer our day to day. Well, I have been pretty lacking on posting anything to be honest.  Actually, I just realized I have purchased some things for my Disney collection that I never shared here!  I am a bad, bad blogger. We never went to Disney for our 25 th anniversary, despite our best intentions.   I don’t foresee a whole lot of Disney vacationing in my future to be honest.   It’s gotten so expensive.   While I love Disney and love to do little Disney things, Disney crafts, Disney purchases. I also love Halloween, work at a haunted house attraction, garden, craft, have a work life, am dealing with the changes of aging and perception of aging.   I have a lot of things on my mind.   Instea...

Theme Park News

Photo by Mice Chat Well, The Disney Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser, closed. I never did get to go to the experience. It was just too much cost. Things in my life changed and I couldn’t justify the expense. Instead, I watched YouTube videos and read blogs about others experience at the Star Cruiser. I think I would have loved it, but I was able to see what others experienced, while saving myself $6000. I am including a link to a Mice Chat Blog about the closing. They did attend and have some great photos.  I was actually a little bit surprised by the news of the closure. Disney spent so much money and time on its creation and construction. Initially they said they had no plans to do anything with the building or experience. However, they have since said they may do a smaller, less intense version. I will keep an ear out about the future of the Halcyon.  I would like to go back to Disney at some point. They again raised prices and I feel like there may be one more b...
