    My MommyCon Adventure

    September 11, 2018 - By 

    I decided to do something a little different over Labor Day weekend and attended my very first “mom convention.” So I traded in my usual geek convention cosplay attire for comfy mom clothes, packed a sippy cup instead of a flask and attended panels on potty training and picky eaters. Instead of browsing racks of corsets and swords, I’d be checking out baby clothes and the latest in diaper bags and organic snacks. And you know what? I was looking forward to it! A Convention for Moms MommyCon is a “nationwide convention series dedicated to creating and nurturing a community…

    Star Smores Cosplay at Star Wars Celebration

    April 22, 2017 - By 

    We had a great time as Sesame Street Star Smores at Star Wars Celebration! It was Keelan’s first time as a part of a big cosplay group. We got off to a bit of a rough start with our little Luke Piewalker, who was promptly renamed “Luke Crywalker.” But then there was an attitude shift after we managed to get everyone dressed and out the door. He stayed in his stroller for the first half, just taking everything in, and then wanted to get out and run around for the next bit. He high-fived wampas, took pics with Chewie and didn’t…

    Our Jekyll Island Adventure at JekyllCon

We did manage to break away on the last day and check out the famous Driftwood Beach, where they recently filmed some scenes from the Walking Dead. The beach was pretty amazing, though Keelan was mostly interested in throwing sand.

    The MegaCon Family Trip

    June 21, 2016 - By 

    This is going to be pretty short and sweet MegaCon story because I wrote a nice, detailed wrap-up right afterwards, saved it as a draft and now that I am ready to post it has gone into the Internet black hole. Zero drafts saved. Nooooooooo. So How Did MegaCon Trip Go? Nothing really went as planned, it was hot and sweaty, nobody showed up for our Cosplay with Kids panel, Keelan wore his costume for maybe 30 min. then got cranky and needed a nap, and we spent maybe 3 hours there total. Was it worth it? Oddly enough, yes.…
