30 something

People always say that their 20s are the best times of their lives, I knew once I hit 28/29 my 30s would be my best times.
At 29 I qualified as a Teaching Assistant, I had finally given myself a career path. I worked hard and it paid off, I landed my first job in a school just a few months later.
I am now 31, much more experienced and looking at what is next for me, where will I be come September. Things happen for a reason, things change for a reason, but life goes on and it's what you make of it that really counts.

"Eventually all the pieces fall into place ... until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason." - Carrie Bradshaw


Things have changed for me over the last couple of months, I've found myself wondering where life will take me next. I want so much all at the same time, but let's be honest, that will never happen. We are currently trying to save up for our dream holiday to Orlando, Florida, but at the same time also need realistic things, such as new furniture, a new bed, a tv and laptop, all of which can cost a lot of money, I just want to be able to say that by the end of this year we have been able to work our socks off and go on holiday to see Mickey mouse.

Q&A

I thought I'd do a little blog about me, I put a tweet out on twitter to see if there was anything you'd like to know about me, and although I only got one question thought I'd go ahead and do it anyway. Q : A little about myself A : I'm Helen. I'm 31, married to Paul with a pooch and kitty. and A qualified Teaching Assistant Q : What are my interests A : Disney and anything Disney related Q : How did I choose my blog theme (question from Twitter) A : I decided to go through all the different themes until I found one I liked, pink is one of my favourite colours so it was only fitting that I had pink in my theme. Q : Favourite holiday A : Always Orlando, Florida Q : Favourite Disney Character A : Winnie the Pooh, but I do love Rex from Toy Story, favourite Princess is Ariel Disney has always been a big part of my life and I've been lucky enough to visit Disney World in Florida a good few times.

Look back at our Orlando holiday 2015 - Part 1

One thing you should know about me is that I love Disney, but when I go to Orlando I do love seeing Universal Studios. These two places are my absolute favourites. No other places compare. If I'm not talking about them then I am dreaming about them, they are constantly on my mind, I even wear clothes that represent them and have quite the collection now. I'm going through a moment where all I want to do is look at holidays to Orlando, but working in schools means I have to go during the school holidays so prices can be extraordinary. I may have to do this post in two parts - Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. So let's get on with it. Let's begin with Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. I absolutely love these parks, and this time round it was so much more exciting for me, and here's why; So when I went back in September 2015 I went with my husband Paul and my Dad. It was Paul's first time so this meant more to me than ever, because I thoug

What I Got For Christmas

  As the end of the year is getting very close I thought I'd do a 'What I got for Christmas' blog. this isn't me bragging, just sharing with you how grateful I am for what I've received this year. My husband never fails with his gifts, he knows me inside and out - and you'll see that soon enough. But first of all I wanted to say a big thank you to all the children I work with in school, I was so overwhelmed with what I received, I have only been at the school for 3 months so wasn't expecting a thing, so to have all these lovely gifts was just so thoughtful of them. I may add that I do work in 2 different schools and so I did receive a few bottles of 'teacher juice' from my second school. Going forward, I opened my gifts from my brother, sister in law and baby nephew, and oh my gosh I was amazed, literally THE best present I've ever received from them... first I got a gorgeous pink robe with my name on, which was thoughtful in itself,
