Sharing my random life is what I do best
Good morning Friends,
There’s a new video on my youtube channel! I received my March Mickey’s Mystery box and loved everything in it!

Today’s blog challenge actually took me a while…there are so many quotes that I have identified with at different points in my life. Quotes are like song lyrics and musical notes to me, I connect to them depending on what’s happening in my life and my moods. So I did what any other millennial would do, and checked my facebook About page for quotes that I had forgotten about until now….yup that happened….
This is what I found,
“Before anyone can fight for you, you must learn to fight for yourself.”
Live your life knowing that the best is yet to come 🙂
“If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.”
“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up!” ~ Dumbo
“In Germany, they first came for the Communists; I did not speak because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews; I did not speak because I was not a Jew. Then they came to fetch the workers, members of trade unions; I was not a trade unionist. Afterward, they came for the Catholics; I did not say anything because I was a Protestant. Eventually, they came for me, and there was no one left to speak.”
-Pastor Martin Niemoller, a Protestant minister imprisoned during Germany’s Third Reich
“Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.”
– Holocaust Museum, Washington, D.C.
So today’s question was ‘what do you collect?’ The simple answer to that question is a lot. I do collect a number of different things, probably because I enjoy a number of different things. But I’ll only focus on one thing in this blog, just to keep it on the shorter side. I collect Disney pins. Funny enough, the other day I actually pulled out most of my pins. I’m stumped as to how I should display them. So alas I set them down on the kitchen table….
Like I said before, this isn’t all of my pins, I have even more now since we got back from Florida. Not pictured are my 100+ trader pins….okay okay maybe I have a problem…maybe….maybe not. I was first made aware of my potential addiction back in 2005 while I was shopping at my local Disney store. That’s when I saw it, the one pin that started it all.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I love Eeyore. He is everything. Anyways, I bought this medium sized pin and after that, I had a problem. I read up everything I could about Disney pins. I was introduced to the wonderful world of pin trading and pin purchasing. It’s been glorious. While I haven’t traded a pin in the last two trips, I do enjoy trading with Cast Members. I haven’t traded with another collector, ever. I’m always afraid of trading a scrapper (fake pin) by accident and I’m notoriously shy so yeah. Cast members don’t turn me away and I can always find something I want on their trading boards.
So over the years, I have come to look for certain pins. I don’t collect all pins, I collect holiday pins, Eeyore pins, Star Wars pins, and special or limited edition pins. Oh and any pin I think is cute or appeals to me. I’m guessing by now you want to see some of these pins, well here they are.
There it is, part of my pin collection. I’m still trying to figure out how to display, do you have any ideas?
Let me know in the comments below if you collect anything? I would love to hear from you.
Happy Thursday!
I can’t get enough macarons. They are tiny and light and look so pretty! Plus I have a soft spot for bite-sized treats. So the other night when we searched the kitchen for something to snack on, I had a thought, why not make macarons. I had never made them before but I wanted the challenge and an excuse to get Chris to sit and watch my favourite Disney cartoon, Beauty and the Beast…for the blog of course.Read More
Hello Friends!
So I just received my second Mickey’s Mystery Box today and I could not be happier! This box has stolen my Disney heart. I couldn’t believe all the stuff I received. I’ll show you everything I received and the value of the items. I should mention, I subscribe to the Fantastmic box (their largest box).
Hi ho lovely people,
If you follow me on Instagram (WithLoveFromBex) then you have probably noticed that I am a HUGE Disney fan…okay massively huge….fine, I’m obsessed. But hey, it’s Disney, can you really blame me? I’ve been to Walt Disney World more times than I can count and in that time I’ve kinda become known as ‘the Disney geek’ among my family and friends, which is a title I carry with pride. So today, I thought I would share some of my tips on how to make your vacation to Disney World magical.Read More
