Last weekend I dipped my toe back into the cosplay and con waters. It’s be awhile, but I was lucky enough to receive a pass to WonderCon from a friend. However, with a lot of other projects on the books, along with helping another friend make her first ever cosplay, I opted for a simple…

Vintage Knott’s Berry Farm Photos

In the past I’ve shared portions of my vintage photo collection, typically of well dressed people from yesteryear, but today I am sharing vintage photos of Knott’s Berry Farm, and even some photos from my family visiting Knott’s! Knott’s Berry Farm was originally just that, a berry farm, selling berries and preserves. But when the…

Vintage Valentine’s Day Cards

For the most part I’ve never much cared for Valentine’s Day. Never really celebrating or decorating, with the mild exception of using the holiday as an excuse to wear an excessive amount of pink and red. Over the years I’ve seen cute vintage valentines and antique shops and flea markets, but I mostly refrained from…

Valentine’s Month at Disneyland

This year Disneyland introduced “Valentine’s Month” to the park with extra decor, special food items, and even a scavenger hunt to celebrate the holiday of love. I’ve always enjoyed a good scavenger hunt, so Patrick and I went over to the park for the day to experience it. For those familiar with Disneyland’s Easter Egg…

I struggled a lot with deciding to write this post. After the election of 2016, I struggled a lot with my blog overall. It felt small, pathetic, and unimportant compared to the issues we were going to be facing with the new administration. But I received a lot of encouragement to keep going, as it…

I don’t know about you, but 2018 was one long year for me. A lot happened, both good and bad. On a personal level, the year had its bumps, but overall wasn’t terrible, on a better personal note, I cultivated a lot of friendships this year, which left me so happy. However on a national…

Merry Christmas

From our home in sunny California to wherever the holidays find you, Patrick and I both wish you a very Merry Christmas! And before you ask, yes, we tried to take a photo with Colonel Whiskers as part of it, but he was not having it! Perhaps next year!

Vintage Christmas Cards

Recently I started collecting vintage Christmas cards, and decided, like many of my other ephemera collections, I should share them with you! Perhaps this will be another Christmas time tradition on the blog, as my collection grows. With this last one I also have to share the inside of it as well, because it’s just…

Over the weekend Patrick and I visited Universal Studios for a festive day with friends to enjoy the sights, sounds, and sweets of the season in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as the area got the holiday treatment for the first time! For the day my outfit was inspired by one of my favorite…

How to (Mostly) Cat Proof Your Christmas Tree

December 13, 2018, 3 Comments

Every year around Christmastime, the internet is flooded with pictures and stories of cats terrorizing Christmas trees. I had cats growing up, and they simply loved climbing up into the branches of our trees. We had both fake and real trees over the years, and the cats loved both equally. The following is a guide…
