Starfishy is very happy to live somewhere where he can swim as he pleases. ⭐🌊

But his mommy is NOT happy to squeeze water out of him for 20 minutes after. 😡

My husband really dislikes how I refer to this little guy as my "emotional support starfish". So I say it as often as I can. His cuteness definitely lifts my mood when needed. 😍

Hermie found his dream car, but upon further inspection, there's been a bone-crushing incident.

But that won't stop him from posing with the ole beaut! ✨

Spooky Sneezun (YES, SNEEZUN-ya girl's got her first cold of the season) is upon us. 🕷️🕸️🎃👻

We walked outside to the most beautifully weaved web this morning, adorned with dainty dew drops. 💧

My black cat is closing in for some snuggles as I type this... It is time. 🐈‍⬛

The most handsomest blob arrived this week all the way from Milkshake Lake. You know it's serious if he gon' leave the lake. Ultra soft furs and a smile you can't ignore! He legit got here and demanded cookies. Best I could do was get him a Hello Kitty Godzilla Happy Meal. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It worked.

Also cracking up at whatever this song it. 🤣 Pure gold.

Thanks for creating a gem @kidrobot 💎

My newest addition to the rubber face collection! Meet my mini toy soldier from Babes in Toyland. This one was made by Gund and it was the smaller version produced. I can't get over his wee lil mustache!

This one was on my wishlist for a long time! A special thank you to @teekeeks_toys for sharing the listing with me, knowing I was looking for one! Having another collector think of me is worth far more than the actual toy. ♥️♥️♥️

I know I'm rarely active here compared to the past. I do think once I get my shelving in order, I'll be posting more again. My collection is primarily stored away until then. I also have multiple hobbies that keep me busy on top of raising littles. Mainly video games on my PC, and lately I've gotten into working on Warhammer minis. 😝

Love you all! ♥️

Since my last post, I've been very busy with important adulting type matters like convincing my husband that I needed Herman Munster and simply could not go on without getting him.

He clearly thought I would, in fact, be deceased without a Herman Munster puppet. So here we are. He's pretty freaking incredible, his details, his pull string sayings, and what my husband refers to as his "E.T. hands".

Even my in-laws got a kick out of him and it brought back awesome memories for them of watching the show.

I periodically send our pal photos of Herman getting into trouble, because it's only right of me to do so. The people NEED to know.
