Remember that point in my last entry where I swore through my teeth that I would never in my life make another costume? Well that didn’t last very long… In the midst of the mega tantrum I thankfully remembered that I was the grown-up and took a deep breath and asked the little lady what […]

The Cursed Costume

I think this will go down in history as the costume that almost made me go insane. Maybe it is cursed? It wouldn’t surprise me as it is actually a My Little Pony character that is evil (or gone evil). She is originally known as Princess Luna but goes by the name Nightmare Moon when […]

The Elsa dress

If I were I princess I would be the Princess and the Pea right now. Except I don’t really need a pea to feel all battered. Just existing takes care of that right now. I am 8 months pregnant and I am an absolute mess. I have problems walking, standing, sitting and lying (though lying […]
