A few weeks ago my darling Royce and I went to see the James Brown biopic – Get up on It! Of course he instantly started quoting and reciting verbatim lots James Brown shouts and lyrics. … Read more
As Disney girls through and through we knew that we’d have to do a Disney themed costume at some point.
