Rachel's Next Adventure

1) What are your favourite Christmas Movies? Alvin & The Chipmunks and The Grinch. 2) Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning? Christmas morning, but my fiancé and I sometimes give each other a gift on Christmas Eve depending on our plans for Christmas Day as we tend to spend the day with our own families. 3) Do you have a favourite Christmas memory? It will probably sound stupid to everyone else, but the only real memory I have that stands out from passed Christmasses is when Pokémon originally came out way back when I was in Primary School. Pokémon was my life, and every year i'd get to take my favourite present to show my Grandparent's, and I took my Pokémon game with me. I remember sitting in the armchair, facing sideways, for at least a couple of hours just playing my favourite game. 4) Favourite Festive Food? Goose fat roast potatoes! Terry's Chocolate Orange 5) Favourite Christmas Gift?...

To get into the christmas spirit I thought i'd do more Christmas baking, and this time I choose cake rather than Christmas Cookies . I made snowmen out of cake balls, its the first time i've ever used a cake pop mould and they're definitely a pain to use. I kept loosing chunks of cake, or the cakes wouldn't rise enough or too much! Plus I only have two small cases (12 balls max) so it took over 2 hours to bake half of the mix! Here's how to make them - What you'll need: Cake Mix Cake Pop Moulds Icing Sugar Milk Chocolate Icing Pen Orange Tic Tacs for Noses Giant Cadbury's Buttons for Hats Bamboo Skewers & Cocktail Sticks Step 1 - Prepare your cake batter I just used a packet mix. Cheater! Step 2 - Bake your cakes! I baked mine on 175ºC for 10min as per the instructions that came with the moulds. Step 3 - Mix your icing. I mixed mine in a mug to keep the icing deep enough to dip the cake balls into. Step...

Last Christmas I took a set of holiday themed photographs of my Danbo figure, here are three of my favourites. I've not had a lot of free time this year so haven't had time to take a new set yet, so hopefully you won't have seen any of these ones before. Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

- Santa Cat - As Christmas creeps closer, even Tim the cat is getting excited and into the Christmas spirit. She's happy to put on this costume - although doesn't really like the hat so that was only on for this photograph. It must be warm and comfy and all Tim does is curl up and take a nap as soon as it's on! Here's a video of my little Santa Claws from last Christmas Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

Obviously, I wasn't going to go all the way to Disneyland Paris and not return with a new Tsum Tsum or two! I booked my trip just after the Duffy and Shellie May Tsum Tsums were released in the parks so they were the main two I was looking for, and I finally found them mid-checkout in Constellations (the shop at the end of Buzz Lightyears Laser Blast). They're probably my two favourite Tsum Tsums at the moment. I also picked up a Hamm and Bullseye, although i'm not sure if I already have them in my collection! There has to be something like Chasing Vinylmation but for Tsum Tsums, doesn't there? I'm going to need to find one, and if not, have my fiancé make one! Thats all the Tsums I bought on this trip, to be honest they didn't have much variety. Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

We all have that one favourite tv show where a character just really stands out to us all for one reason or another, so i've chosen today to write about one of the characters that inspires me the most. Sue Sue Heck For anyone not familiar with the name, Sue Sue Heck is the daughter of the Heck family from ABC's The Middle, originally I passed on this show as it seemed like a newer, rip off version of Malcolm in the Middle, but it really isn't! I mean sure it does have its similarities but I love both of the shows, and at the moment, i'd probably say The Middle is my favourite of the two. Anyway, about Sue Heck, for anyone who has never seen the show here is a quick description of the character. Sue Heck is always smiling, always trying to improve herself, always trying new things and even when she fails she doesn't let it get her down, she just jumps back up and moves onto the next thing. Something always goes wrong for her, from having 0 to suddenly...

My Christmas Tree is decorated with a little bit of everything, although mostly Disney. I wanted to share a few of our decorations with you as they all have memories attached to them. Even though we've only been collecting them since 2013 we have quite a few from a few different places already. so here are a few of our main/favourite tree decorations and where we bought them. M&Ms World SeaWorld, San Diego Disneyland, California Walt Disney World, Florida Disneyland, Paris Dylan's Candy Bar, New York SeaWorld, Orlando We also have decorations that we picked up in Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando but they don't go on our tree so I don't have a photograph of them right now as we still haven't put out a lot of the other decorations yet.
