I'll be blunt this movie kind of disappointed me. As a fan of the original Mary Poppins I felt this movie lost the joy and magic of Mary Poppins. The original Mary Poppins had such a positive message that this movie contradicted hugely.  Whilst the songs were catchy, and the acting was good the story didn't have a strong plot and lacked any message or lesson that was key in the first movie, I spent the whole movie trying to figure out why Mary Poppins had returned. The original Mary Poppins had a good message behind it about how there are more important things than money, while this Mary Poppins contradicts the original and tells you that money is important.  I originally thought Mary Poppins had returned to show the Banks kids that they could and should be kids while they still could and the first song even lead me to believe that this was the reason she had returned however it didn’t seem it was as the story then veered away from that idea. I thought maybe she's goin...

Let me start by saying Happy New Year. Just like everyone else I take this time to look back on the year. At this time of the year it can be easy to get swallowed up with what you want to change, improve and well the dread of knowing that you have to go back to work but I want to reflect on the positives of the year. They say each year 2 big events in your life happen and that was the case for me, there are two things about the year I look back on with fondness and joy and they're experiences I won't ever forget (or at least I hope I don't) however there is a third thing as well that wasn't necessarily big or new or that exciting but might help with looking forward to the future. My first big event was something that for a while I wasn't sure would happen and that was graduating from University. I struggled at uni, I suffered from depression and I wanted to give up, it crushed me emotionally and mentally and if I could go back now to 18 year old me I'd tell h...

It feels like forever we've been planning this trip, it's probably been about four years. We always said that when we graduate we needed to take a trip away and where better than the happiest place on earth, it's almost unbelievable that we will soon embark on this trip to remember. In just over 100 days we will get on a plane and meet up in Florida to step foot in the happiest place on earth and to say 100 days can't go fast enough is an understatement (although the money crunch does also set in). Along with sharing our excitement I thought we could also share some tips and tricks we've picked up on booking a dream disney vacation. We put in a lot of research into how to book, the best time to go, the best discounts, Disney on a budget, if there was a video we watched it, if there was a blog post we read it. And while we would have loved to go all out, stay somewhere like the Animal Kingdom Lodge and have a view of the animals from our balcony we knew we would ...
