When we left off I was mid crafting on my Hera Syndulla Cosplay. So on Sept 17th when I updated last, I was about 80% done my jumpsuit, and still had so many things left to complete. You can see that post here. So between then and now a bunch of stuff happened. I hit

First timers club: Cosplay
After we came home from Star Wars Celebration I had the bug. After seeing all the amazing craftmanship of so many inspiring cosplays I decided I was going to crack out ole' Bobby Singer and do some sewing! We have been talking about going to HalCon in Halifax for years, no time like the present
First Timer’s Club – Star Wars Celebration 2019
A few weeks ago now I ventured to a city far far away, Chicago. It was the hosting city this year for the typically bi-annual Star Wars Celebration. For those of you who aren’t avid Star Wars Fanatics (much like I was before this experience), you may wonder what it’s all about. Star Wars Celebration
Our Disney Vacation Day 4
It's the same size! Day 4 was a bit warmer than the others, thankfully! That morning getting into Epcot was 100% absolutely not fun. However they had crowd flow set up for that morning at rope drop, it took 45 mins easily to get through security and security was just about 4 people. I hadn't
Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 3
Appreciate the comments I've received in person as people read the blog. Love hearing from you in person, or in the comments. Thank you for reading along!

The Eve of Another Year

Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 2
So Day 2 we didn't have park tickets, only a ticket to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. That didn't mean we couldn't enjoy Disney just the same. In the morning we headed to Disney Springs! We had tickets to The Void: Star Wars Secrets of the Empire VR Experience! So we all went our separate
Body Image and the Lies the Mirror Tells Us
I've had this topic scheduled for a month and it's never an easy one. But I wanted to tackle it. Last year, you might recall my husband taking the scale away from me? Since then I've had lots of time to ponder body image, our preconceived notions that we need to be a certain size,
Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 1
While on this trip, I thought I'd journal a bit. I did so good for the first 5 days, but then fatigue caught up with me and I skipped a few days. I'll try to recap as best I can! Day 1 - Mid Day Arrival. Resort Check In and Animal Kingdom Our wake up
The stress of big purchases
I'm on the hunt for a treadmill. It's not a cheap piece of equipment. In my hunt I'm torn between quality and price. I plan on using it daily, so I want something that will hold up, and last. Which honestly puts the price between $800 and $1200. It's an investment in my overall health,
