Scott and I have been really excited to take the girls to Disneyland Paris. Our new close proximity meant that we could go fairly easily and we intended to make the most of it. It's a short flight to Paris from Edinburgh (which means that travel to Disneyland Paris is much cheaper and quicker than it was to go to either of the parks in the States when we lived there) and then an easy bus or train ride to the parks. We have an annual pass, but we still need to plan around the girls' school ... Read More

Hobbiton Movie Set Tour
While we were planning our trip home to New Zealand, we made a list of places we wanted to take the girls. High up on the list was a visit to Hobbiton. The set is located in Matamata, which is where Scott was born, and we frequently tell people that he's part hobbit. The last time we were in Matamata, the permanent set didn't exist and there wasn't much to draw attention to it. Now, the tourist trade from Hobbiton seems to have taken over and you can hardly escape it in town. We knew that it was ... Read More
Free Star Wars Rey Quote Printable and SVG
I fell in love with Rey very early on in The Force Awakens. She is strong and independent, but has a vulnerability brought on from abandonment to a very hard day to day existence. I am so crazy excited (and nervous!) to see what happens next in her story. Rey has many quote-worthy lines, but my favorite has to be "I know how to run without you holding my hand." We made this Free Star Wars Rey Quote Printable and SVG to celebrate a fantastic line from a favorite character as we wait excitedly to ... Read More
Faux Leather Firefly Ornament
I love ornaments and I love exchanges, so with my recent love of making ornaments with my Cricut Maker, it made complete sense to have a Cricut Ornament Exchange. A group of Cricut bloggers got together to swap ornaments made with Cricut machines with the added fun of not knowing who was sending us an ornament until it arrived. It was up to us to do some basic blog stalking, and I quickly discovered that my person was a fellow Browncoat. I was initially going to make a full on Christmas ... Read More
Sherlock Holmes Inspired Banners
I have been in love with everything Sherlock Holmes for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to taped copies of old radio shows. I read all of the original stories and then started collecting anything at all related to Sherlock. My house is full of Sherlock Holmes pieces. The one place I asked to go on my first visit to London was the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Have I mentioned the tattoo on my arm? Sigh. Let's just say that Sherlock and I go way back and it's crazy to think that this is ... Read More
Christmas TARDIS Weeping Angel Snow Globe
Christmas and Doctor Who are forever joined in my mind. Maybe it's because I first discovered The Doctor over a Christmas holiday years ago. Maybe it's the Christmas specials that I look forward to every year. Maybe it's just me being a super fan of both the holiday and the show! Regardless of the reason, my Christmas TARDIS Weeping Angel Snow Globe is my new favorite thing in the whole wide world and I'm excited to share it with you! This post contains affiliate links. It all started ... Read More
