LEARN MORE ABOUT US
Hey there! I’m a Disney-obsessed mum of two, juggling the wild, wonderful chaos of a neurodivergent household. I see the world a little differently (sometimes through Mickey-shaped glasses) and believe in adding a sprinkle of Disney magic to everyday life.
Oh, and did I mention I really love Disney? Because I do. A lot. Like, probably too much… but is there such a thing? (No. The answer is no.)
