Blogmas Day Twenty - Christmas Baked Goods

-
Having a girlfriend who bakes the most delicious treats is a blessing and this Christmas; it’s even more so.

Personally, I feel like baking is something that becomes even more fun and magical over the festive season. 

There’s just something about baking and having the warm scent of tasty goodies wafting through your home over Christmas that makes them even more special. 

Yesterday, I came home and Jade had made Mickey Mouse shaped shortbread biscuits.

She used this recipe as her guide https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.com/food/recipes/shortbread_1290/amp and gave the biscuits that Disney touch by using Mickey Mouse shaped cookie cutters purchased on Amazon. 

Half of the Mickey shortbread biscuits were then covered with a blue icing and topped with snowflake sprinkles; which really helped to bring an extra touch of Christmas magic to these delicious treats.

The other half were Nutella covered and sprinkled with tripe chocolate swirls - who doesn’t love a mix of Nutella and chocolate Mickey shaped shortbread biscuits?

The biscuits turned out mouth-wateringly amazing and made for the most perfect breakfast with my cup of tea this morning.

With only five days left until Christmas, it’s definitely the season to indulge a little and make homemade baked goods that you may not usually make.

Why not give shortbread biscuits a go? Or have you baked something else special this season? Let me know!

Never Grow Up

-
From the ‘Isn’t Disney for kids??’ remarks to the raised eyebrow looks you receive from some people when Disneybounding in Disneyland; one of my biggest pet peeves is being told Disney isn’t for you because you’re no longer a child. Most people I’ve come across have thankfully been quite the opposite to the above statement. However, I know this isn’t always the case as the concept of ‘Never grow up’ seems to have gone over a lot of people’s heads. Let’s start with the films. Animation, singing and princesses? I can already hear the scoffing coming from those who would argue that these are marketed towards children. The sheer hard work and imagination that goes into making such films were not just created with the intention of only being viewed by children and those that take them to see these films. The beauty of Disney movies are that they are universal. The detail that goes into the animation, the thought that goes into the messages the films portray and the time that goes i

Why I Love Disneyland Paris

-
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I like to visit Disneyland Paris as much as I can throughout the year. I am planning on visiting the other Disney Parks (that’s something for a whole different post) but Disneyland Paris will always be home to me. I love DLP for a whole array of reasons and one of them is most definitely how easy it is to get to my favourite place. Living in London means that it just takes me one tube journey to get to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar. We’ve even been lucky enough to get a direct train to Disney on occasion. Coupling this with staying offsite in the close by Ibis Budget (In Val D’Europe) and having Annual Passes, our visits to Disneyland Paris are more affordable – and leaves us with more money to spend in the shops! From the moment I step off the train in Marne La Vallée and walk the short distance towards the magic; I’m instantly transported into the bubble of Disney. This is only heightened when I finally make it into the park for the first

Disney at Home

With Disney being such an important part of my life, and with frequent visits to Disneyland Paris, it’s only natural that Disney is incorporated into various aspects of my home life. In October of last year, I moved into my own flat with my girlfriend and our best friend. Having a whole place to ourselves meant we were free to furnish it how we please, and obviously that had to include some Disney magic sprinkled around the flat. Our living room is home to our beautiful dark wood bookcase, in which the middle shelf is home to our growing collection of shiny o-ring DVDs. Thus far, we have 32 in our collection that sit underneath a bed of Tsum Tsums. On top of the bookcase sits two of my favourite purchases we’ve made whilst in Disneyland Paris: our working Cogsworth and Lumiere figurines. These two items are quite pricey so we saved up for them and purchased both on two separate DLP trips with the aid of our Annual Pass discounts. Alongside them sits our Mrs Potts moneybox and
