I went to MiniSo today and got myself a new Baby Three!

I’ve had my tiger for 25-26 years! Hes still in good condition but I found a brand new one on Ebay and I had to get him!

When I was about 9 years old, my mom told me to “stop asking for fucking useless plushies.”

That moment stuck with me way more than it should have. For years, I felt like loving plushies was something to be ashamed of, it made me weird, immature, or not worth taking seriously. So I stopped asking for them… and eventually, I stopped talking about them.

But the truth is, I never stopped loving them.

Now I’m 35, and I’ve fully embraced it. I have a whole plushie collection, little plushie charms on my bags, and an emotional support plushie that comes with me almost everywhere. And you know what? It makes my life softer. Safer.

So if you’re someone who feels embarrassed about bringing a plushie with you, or loving something “not for mature adults”… I get it. I really do. But life is already hard enough.

If something brings you comfort, reassurance and maybe even a little bit of joy…hold onto it! Bring it with you. Don’t shrink yourself to fit what others think is “normal.”

You’re allowed to love what you love!

I have a couple Jellycats and 1 TY Baby (got her about 25 years ago!). Now I have this gorgeous Snow Leopard! We got her at the Granby Zoo boutique.

Hello! I’m Canadian and my friend is going to China tomorrow (Shanghai and nearby areas). I was wondering if anyone knows good places to buy Jellycats, especially Shanghai/China exclusives or ones that are hard to find in Canada?

Picture is just for attention, my 3 loved Jellycats.
