1.How many Tsum Tsum’s have you got? 2. What was your first?

3. Do you have a full set?

4. What is your favourite set? 5. Who is your most wanted Tsum Tsum?

6. What set do you want them to make? 

9. Do you dislike any Tsum Tsums?

Amy over at Cocktails in Teacups tagged me in something called 20 Facts About My Disney Life and although its taken me a week or so to get around to it, I didn’t want to forget altogether! The idea is really simple – no questions, just list 20 facts about your life that are connected to Disney! Here are mine…

1. Every single room in my house has something Disney in it. Some rooms have more than others but there is at least one Disney item in each. Even my car has some Disney on its aerial.

2. I have collected Disney Traditions for the last 7 years and I have almost 30.

3. I have collected Disney Pop Funkos for the last 3 years and I have 14.

4. Amy is the cause of me starting both the Traditions and Pop Funko collections, as she bought me the firsts.

5. To be honest, I would collect pretty much anything if its related to Disney. We have so many Tsum Tsums, both plush and vinyl, I went through a phase of buying Disney t-shirts, I find it hard to resist Disney at Primark and most recently I started collecting Disney Lego Minifigures. 6. Tinker Bell and Belle have always been my favourite Disney characters. I don’t think it’s because of being called Bel (or “Bel”inda) myself, because I only shortened my name during my 20’s.

7. I started Closet Geek, largely to sell Disney inspired dresses. Though I’m happy to make anything, the inspiration for Disney related ones comes the easiest. 98% of my store is Disney.

8. I absolutely love making adult cosplay, especially Disney. All the people I would love to dress as are Disney characters but sadly once I’ve made them and put them on, I don’t really feel that great about myself in them.

9. I’m sad to say that I’ve tried hardly any Disney Park food. Despite visiting DLP a few times and Florida for 2 weeks, we hardly eat in the parks. I’ve never had Dole Whip, Mickey shaped ice cream, turkey legs or whatever else that Disney Parks are famous for serving!

10. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite Disney movie of all time. Not only is Belle my favourite princess, I love the Beast, I cry every time I watch the movie and I really love all the characters. I even have a BATB tattoo. 11. I own nearly all the animated Disney movies on DVD but I pretty much never watch them. I’m sad about this really but I just hardly ever but dvds on.

12. Over the last two years I’ve started to buy a lot of Disney artwork. I think it started with the Disney Kinkade pictures being released (and I bought one at LFCC) and ever since then I’ve noticed artists at cons and online a lot more. This year I have discovered lots of new favourites and I made a post called Artist Spotlight.

13. I love this new movement that is “Disney blogging”. I honestly wish I could be a full time Disney blogger, but I don’t think I have enough interesting to say about Disney to do it all the time! Not that my life is any more interesting or anything, but I think I would run out of Disney stuff to say.

14. The only songs I know all the words to are Disney songs. When we were younger my brother and I would listen to VHS tapes over and over to write down the words and then learn the songs. We would even break them up into individual parts and we had a folder each with our own parts in it. I should probably be embarrassed about this but I’m not.

15. I’ve always worn scarves a lot but mostly it was just winter ones that I continued to wear once I walked back in the house. Over the last 2-3 years I’ve started buying lots of sheer scarves (I blame Hot Topic) and all but one are Disney! 16. I’ve been married (and divorce/separated) twice so I’m not especially keen to do it again. If I did though, it would have to be a really unusual or extravagant wedding. Ideally I’d like it to be either in WDW or Disney themed (where people dress as Disney characters).

17. Nearly all my mugs are Disney themed. At times they have got a bit out of control and Chris has now put a ban on any more mugs! However I recently moved a few to my display cabinet and tossed a few non-Disney ones out so hopefully I’m free to add a few more now!

18. For the first time ever, I’m seriously considering an annual pass to Disneyland Paris. This year I’ll have been at least three times and getting a pass might be a great excuse to go more. I would love to go during Halloween.

19. I can hand on heart say I have never wished to be a Disney Princess. To be honest, if I had a choice, I would be a sassy Villain or a character like Megara.

20. Before I started sewing, I had a couple of years where I made cakes for all my friends and family. Each person had at least one spectacular cake during that time. My all time favourite was the Tsum Tsum one that I made (with Megan’s help) for Lily. I very rarely tag anyone in these things but if you’d like to do it then please let me know you have!

Would you rather be tutored by Luna Lovegood or Hermione Granger?

Would you rather have a Butterbeer or pumpkin juice? Would you rather travel via broomstick, Floo network or Portkey? 2. An unforgettable experience moment you’ve had at the Parks.

6. Who are your favourite Disney princesses? 8. What is the first Disney movie you remember seeing?

9. What is your favourite Disney movie? I was tagged by Caroline, at Notes from Caroline! You can read her post here!

1. Are you a stay at home mum or a working mum?
I’m currently a working mum. For the majority of mummydom I have been a stay-at-home mum, but I went back to work in April 2013. That said, I am really hoping to go back to being a stay-at-home mum soon!

See above! I really thought I wanted to go back to work (plus I couldn’t afford not to!) however now I would swap back in a heartbeat.

No, never. When Megan was younger we would occasionally pull her into bed with us in the morning for an hour or so extra sleep. However Lily has never been happy to co-sleep.

4. What is your one must have item for your baby?
I don’t technically have a baby any more, even if my girls will always be my babies. However I have to say baby wipes. Even now, at almost 6 and 9, I prefer to have a pack of baby wipes handy in the house.

I’ve got two and I only plan to have two. At one time I definitely would have considered having three but I’m very happy with the two I have and wouldn’t have more.

6. Date night? How many nights per month?
Perhaps every other month, or maybe every three? We have plenty of us time and nights in with each other, but only make the effort for an actual date night every now and again.

Wow this is actually a harder question than you would think. I guess both love the Winx thought we rarely watch it these days. In fact the girls watch so much less TV than they used to. Sadly its been swapped for a computer so I can’t brag.

8. Name one thing you bought before having your baby that you’ve never used?
It’s been a long time since I had a baby so its hard to remember. I would say probably a room thermometer, maybe even some clothes. I’m sure there were actually several things.

Megan will tell you that chilli con carne is her favourite but I’d probably say macaroni cheese. Lily loves pepperoni pizza, anything chicken, garlic bread… probably her favourite thing is just sandwiches though.

Just one. Our household has two but that’s because my brother currently lodges with us and he has a car. It’s really nothing to do with us as a family though.

11. Weight gain before, during and after pregnancy and now.
Ugh. Before I had Megan I weighed about 9 stone and was about a size 10. In the final days of my pregnancy I think I was actually between a 16-18, though after giving birth I was 16 and ended up as a comfortable 14 a while after. As I’d never properly lost the weight, when I fell pregnant with Lily I ended up even bigger this time (I think between 18-20 at the end of pregnancy). However this time I was determined to lose the weight and managed to get back down to about 9 1/2 stone and a size 10-12. Unfortunately over the years I’ve let it all come back on and I sit at a comfortable size 16 and weight between 12 1/2 to 13 stone. I’m definitely planning to lose some weight this year.

Disney World in Florida! Though I’d love to take them to New York, Paris and Rome.

I genuinely don’t have one. As much as I love some time away from them, when it comes to a holiday I really love to share the new places with them.

14. How has your life change since having your baby?
I wouldn’t even know where to begin. My first baby was born over 9 years ago, which is almost a decade of my life and a jump from 25 to 34 in my age. I have been married and separated, I think I’m probably a much better person now than I was before (not that I was a bad person before). I’m very content in my life at present.

15. Finish the sentence.. ‘It melts my heart to see..’
The girls looking out for each other. Spending time with each other. Being loving and kind to each other. Their sibling bond is very important to me.

I don’t really have a specific place to be honest. If money was no object I think I’d buy the majority of their clothes from Next. I’d buy all their toys from Disney Store!

17. Favourite make up and skincare products?
Confession moment… I don’t have any at all. I am so low maintenance, that I probably actually ought to make more effort. All my make up is years old and not at all branded. I don’t have any skincare products at all!

I think both have their merits. I remember finding both good for different ages of childhood. That said I often used to use Asda and Tesco’s own brand.

Yes. I wouldn’t say it was a life goal or aim, but I definitely always wanted to have kids.

20. Best part about being a mum?
I’m not even sure what to pick. I would probably just say knowing that unconditional love really does exist. It’s something you can’t understand or even wrap your head around until its there right in front of you. The way you feel for your child and the way they feel for you. Nothing beats that feeling.
