I'm that person who reads every single article, press release, and fan theory about Star Wars. Even when the world isn't gearing up for a new movie, I am still geeking out over every bit of Star Wars information I can get my hands on. I felt like I wasn't doing a good enough job at shouting my love of Star Wars from the rooftops, so I made these fun Star Wars Rebel Alliance Earrings so that everyone who sees me knows not only that they should feel free to discuss every single detail of any of ...

Firefly River Tam Quote Banner and SVG
Self care has been on my mind a lot lately. If you follow me anywhere on social media or have read recent blog posts, you can probably tell that I've been struggling with our move in recent months. The initial excitement of being here is long gone. The full realization that we left a ginormous house with plenty of space (and a yard full of fruit trees!) to live in a poorly furnished super quirky and small rental flat faces me every day. I've had to basically start over with my blog, which is ... Read More
Disneyland Paris in February
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
