It can’t come as a surprise that Mickey Mouse is a big name in our house. As the mascot and face of one of my family’s biggest band of beloved characters, Mickey is a common name. The iconic silhouette of Mickey and Minnie’s ears makes an appearance in more than one room in our house. And as a nostalgic 90s kid, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I feel like I grew up with Mickey and Minnie and the family of characters that are a part of the house of mouse. And now, I get to revisit my old friend through the eyes of my own kids. Now that is magical!
When I’m feeling a little discouraged in life, some of my favorite words come from the creator of Mickey, Walt Disney himself. So many of my favorite quotes from him always inspire me to keep trying and keep going. But these three in particular stand out as my favorites.
Its kinda fun to do the impossible.
Walt Disney
If you can Dream it, you can Do it

and this quote which makes a Mickey Mouse Inspired milkshake such a must do for me
It all started with a mouse.
