Easy Disneybounding Ideas!

May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 by Emma

One of the best things about visiting a Disney theme park for me is being about to dress in outfits I wouldn’t usually be seen in. Generally on the school run and running errands I am in casual clothes. But when we visit Disney I love to take part in Disneybounding. But what exactly is … Read more Easy Disneybounding Ideas!

That’s a wrap on our magical Disney cruise 2021!

That’s a wrap on our magical Disney cruise 2021! For someone who lives so far from the sea to live ON the sea was better than I could ever imagine.

Highlights were my girl making slime with Stitch, cast members saluting my boy all day, Stephen barking like a dog so we could win a family game show and him screaming when the man said “looked shocked” at the Rapunzel lantern.

Thanks for indulging us and our slightly bonkers ways. Normal service will resume…but you know me. I’ve always got a couple of adventures with Mickey in the pipeline 🚢🐭✨#SeeYouRealSoon ...

We made it! Mickey and Minnie welcomed us on. The Captain saw my boy in his hat and said “afternoon Captain!”. Stephen has already eaten a burger, nuggets and pizza. I saw Goofy and ran like it was Gary Barlow. And I cried. Forever thankful we found something that we adore so much as a four 🚢✨🐭😍🙌🏻 #IsMummyCryingAgain #YesYesSheIs #ITSSOMAGICALLLLLLLLLL ...

Usually when I say we are “going home” we are getting ready to walk down Main Street. This time? Captain Mickey is waiting to sail us away for a few days. I might not be able to hug him but I can certainly scream “I LOVVVEEE YOUUUU”.

There will be tears at the magic. They will be mine. Can’t wait to show you ALL the things. Expect OTTness in the best possible way! 🚢🐭🍩✨🤩 #IAmRabid ...

Bit of a weird post. I’m at a crossroads in my life. I’m well past the baby and toddler years. Today my girl is at a sleepover. My boy has gone to the cinema (in a purple velvet cape as a sidenote. God I love him).

I’m 43. And starting to find out what it is to be me. A lot has changed. Pre kids it was boozing and dancing. And a decade has passed and I’m like “what do I even like anymore?”. I’m not needed to change nappies. Nights are disruption free. I have a bit more time. But who the hell am I and what do I do with it? So I’m doing little things for me.

This is the weird bit. Stephen put up a rail in our office. And here I can hang outfits I like. With shoes and bags. So I’ve been putting some Disney outfits together. With some music on. And a cuppa. It feels almost naughty to be focusing on my needs. Even if that includes Minnie Ears and midi skirts.

So if you feel a little bit lost. I do to. I think it’s perfectly normal…well as normal as a grown woman organising Mickey T-shirt’s by colour! 👌🏻❤️🙌🏻 #WhoTheHeckIsEmma ...

(AD) Imagine the kids JOY when this surprise Mickey Mouse shaped piñata arrived at the house. I wanted to keep it forever! Instead I took a few nice photos with it and then let the them smash it open to discover...

... @disneyonice is back! You lot will know we've been going to Disney on Ice since my two were tiny and it's become a family tradition. 'Disney On Ice presents Find Your Hero' is travelling around the UK from Oct 28th to Jan 2nd. It's a great way for your kids (and you!) to see your favourite Disney characters. Dancing on ice to your favourite Disney songs. I can confirm I have a little cry at the magic each time!

Can't wait to take my two to see Mickey Mouse and co again. We miss them so much! 🐭❄️❤️ #DisneyOnIce ...

My boy wanted a Disney bedroom makeover. And of course this is MY DREAM! So I’ve been squirrelling away bits and bobs and today whilst he was at school I redecorated. I knew he wanted lots of Mickey so I popped up some decals and dug out some of his old toys.

I also wanted a fun Toy Story element so I dotted some hidden wall stickers all around the room. Next set up his window as if all his characters were off on an adventure. We’ve got bunting (thanks @helpfulmum), books and memories from all our adventures to Disney.

Swipe to see his gorgeous reaction face. And a little before. His sister was in on it and did a very good job at keeping the secret. Now to persuade Stephen to let us have a Disney bedroom 🐭💫🐭 #LookAtHisLittleFace ...

This is a “thank you” for all the love you’v

This is a “thank you” for all the love you’ve been giving me on my little videos recently. And a “welcome!” to the people who have recently joined our wonderful community. If you are new here here are some facts about me…

I’m Emma, 43, Mum to two gawjus kids who love Roblox and pop its. Married to Stephen, a very reluctant social media star. I live in Birmingham. I love Disney theme parks, dressing gowns, reality TV, chub rub shorts, HUGE mugs and Gary Barlow.

I can’t promise you aspirational content. But I can promise you a friendly face each morning, bright clothes, ridiculous sunglasses and probably a few too many posts in my giant black pants. And here we work on the motto ‘sometimes being ordinary can be extraordinary’.

Now you go have a lovely day and I hope to chat with you in the comments soon! 💖💙💖 #ILikeBigPantsAndICannotLie ...

(AD Own Product!) There was a woman. Who dreamt of

(AD Own Product!) There was a woman. Who dreamt of combining her two favourite things. MASSIVE MUGS and her love of Disney adventures. So she did! Introducing ‘Dreaming Of Home’ BIG and standard mugs. Fill them with tea and dream of walking down Main Street.

Also new to @brummymummymugs we have tote-ally magical bags! Symbolising ‘My Happy Place’. It’s great for carrying snacks and merch when you finally get back into the parks. Or to show your love for the happiest place on earth whilst you pop round Asda. Also…don’t miss the special cruise edition if you’re sailing away on the Disney Magic this summer.

£1 from each mug will go to charity. This time our donation will be going to the Woodland House. A dedicated bereavement centre at @bham_womens hospital, which cares for over 2,000 grieving mums and dads every year who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.

Free UK P&P and worldwide shipping. We have bundle offers and new sticker packs as well. Thanks to @josiegledhill for making my ideas into beautiful designs…’Morning Bab' travel mugs…and water bottles coming soon! Email shopify@justcatalyst.com with any queries ☕✨❤️ #ILikeBigMugsAndICannotLie #MugsForLife #MUGSMUGSMUGS #DisneyMugs #brummymummymugs #mugsofdisney ...

(AD For My Own Lovely Stuff!) Just a woman. Who went out in Minnie Ears, polka dots and GIANT heart glasses to take photos of her beautiful @brummymummymugs bits and bobs that are being launched at 10am on Tuesday 22nd June.

When I started selling my BIG mugs in 2018 I had no idea how many I would sell. And that I would have 11 different babies in my mug family. This time we have BIG mugs, normal mugs, tote bags and stickers on offer…and shhhh don’t tell anyone…in a few weeks…travel mugs are being born!

As per usual £1 from each mug will go to the @bham_childrens charity. This time our donation will be going to the Woodland House. A dedicated bereavement centre at Birmingham Women’s Hospital, which cares for over 2,000 grieving mums and dads every year who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.

Thanks for your love and support. You made my mug making dreams come true ✌🏻😍☕️ #ILikeBigMugsAndICannotLie #brummymummymugs #DontKnowWhatIWasDoingWithMyFingers #IPanicked ...

Did I use the portrait mode and put my new pink sunglasses on to take a photo with a peony? YES. YES I DID! I’ve been waiting for this baby to bloom for months.

And she finally arrived today! There are three. THREE! I have decided call this one Judy. Then the other two Liza and Barbra. I’m thrilled with my new loves. THRILLED.

Plants bring me peace. And so do pets. And big mugs. And candles. And reality TV. And Disney. And dressing gowns. All happy things. What a day! 🌸💖🌸 #LookAtTheRuddyGirthOfIt #DREAMMMMYYYYY ...

I spent A LOT of my life in black. Black work trousers. Black tops. Black dresses. Because we were told black was slimming. I wanted to hide myself. Vanish into a crowd. Hide my body. Make it smaller.

But now I love colour. And a jazzy pattern. I love an animal print. Mickey Mouse bright red. Or Minnie Mouse polka dots.

So if you do want to dress a bit like a children’s tv presenter but are worried you are too old or too big. Don’t be! Shove an outfit on that makes you smile 🌈😍👌🏻 #ThisHasPockets #AndIAddedABelt #AndItsAnimalPrint #DREAMOUTFIT ...

Did I take photos with my new laminator to make it look like a baby? Yes. Yes I did. Am I ashamed? No. Not I am not.

I cannot express the amount of JOY this machine has bought to my life. And the amount of time I have spent happily creating Disney themed laminated crap.

I am now considering using my label maker to make a label and label my laminator. And then I will reach the point of pure ecstasy.

Welcome to the world Larry the Laminator. You are loved 🖨📃🏷 #ApologiesToEveryoneIKnow #WhoWillBeGettingLaminatedStuffForChristmas ...

A new word has been created. It’s been in all the papers. ‘Cheugy’. You like watching Friends? You are Cheugy. Disney adults? Cheugy. Wear UGGS? Cheugy. I’m 100% Cheugy. I love pumpkin spice latte, autumn and giant scarves. So I’m Basic too. Both of these things are NOT cool.

But you know what IS cool? Liking what you want! Seriously. I LOVE the things I love. Like I LOVE THEM. There are no guilty pleasures in my life. How can a pleasure be guilty? I love pop music. I love reality TV. Eurovision is a highlight of my year!

So if you google Cheugy and some things you actually do (leggings is on the list so I imagine many of us are screwed) embrace the Cheugy! I live by the mantra “it’s cool to be uncool”. I think I may have been in trend for four minutes when I was 18 and got a tattoo like Sporty Spice. That now looks like a turd on my shoulder. SO LET THAT BE A LIFE LESSON PEOPLE ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 #PeaceSignsAreCheugy #ANDIDONTCARE ...

It’s that time of the week where I show you a part of my non minimalist house! The bits that fill my heart with joy.

I always wanted a chair that reminded me of the one Aiden made for Carrie in SATC. Transpires they are one bazillion pounds. Who knew? So I picked this new beauty up from Etsy for £99! I love it so much.

My shelves are full of books I love, photos, plants, candles friends have bought me, our wedding cake topper, the first paintings the kids ever did and beautiful bits and bobs from small shops. And of course a touch of Disney.

I love to move bits around on it and it will forever change. And basically looking at this area is like looking into my brain. Have a wonderful day guys! And do something that makes you happy 📚🪴🤩 #ILoveMyBitAndBobs #shelfie ...

Four years ago this photo was taken. A mini me in Minnie ears reflected in my glasses. We were walking out of @waltdisneyworld on the last day of our first trip there. A Disney photographer stopped me. And asked if he could take our photo.

It fills my whole heart with joy. To me it symbolises that little snippet in time where your kids are the apples of your eye (where they remain of course). But at the same time they want to be just like you. Mums are always the ones taking the photos. So it was nice to have someone take the photo.

If you’ve got little dots ask people to take as many photos of you as they can. Time goes so fast. One minute you’re sniffing babies. The next you are thinking about secondary school places. Take ALL the photos! That’s an order!

One day we’ll get back home to Disney and I’ll try and recreate this image with a decidedly bigger girl. Fingers crossed it won’t be long now ⭐️🐭😍 #IveNoIdeaWhyWritingThisMadeMeABitWeepy #BitMuchForAThursdayMorning ...

Behind every instastory where I’m make up free in a dressing gown. Behind every reel where I’m dancing like a bellend. Behind every post where I’m talking about chubrub and wearing head to toe Disney. Is this man.

A man who never makes me feel ashamed to me. Which in turn let’s me feel completely at ease in front of all of you. What a lucky lady 💛🌼💛 ...

I’ve always felt that I have been ‘too much’

I’ve always felt that I have been ‘too much’. People in the past have said I’m ‘too loud’ ‘too talkative’. So I try to make myself smaller. I can leave certain social situations exhausted and worried that I said the right thing.

Parts of the internet think I’m ‘too big’ ‘too cringe’ ‘too old’. I love what I love with ALL my heart. If I see Mickey Mouse enter a room my eyes fill with tears. When it’s Halloween my house has ‘too many’ pumpkins. I collect ‘too many’ mugs. I am definitely ‘too sensitive’ because I care ‘too much’.

I read a quote yesterday by @luvvie in her book ‘The Fear Fighter Manual’ which said ‘Be the Youest You That Ever Youed’. Recently you may have noticed a slight change. A light in my eyes. A pride in multi coloured mug shelves. The brightest of headbands. A dash of pink hair here. A daft video there.

A 43 1/2 I’m trying to be happy with me. I do talk a lot. I do love mugs and Disney and pumpkins. Making over the top magic for my kids makes me happy. Sad adverts make me cry. I had become ashamed of simply being who I am. Gently you will see more and more of ‘too much’ Emma.

It’s going to take time. Visions of ex boyfriends telling me to “shush” in front of their friends still creep into my head ever so often. But I’m determined to do it. And today I encourage all of you to ‘Be The Youest You That Ever Youed’. Because you’re wonderful ❤️💃🏼💁🏼‍♀️ #ThesePhotosAreMeWhenImPerfectlyJustBeingMe ...
