Show Notes

Welcome to the very first episode of Happily Chat! We’re Katherine (@happilykatherine) and Tom (@happilyhusbandtom), the couple behind the Happily community online. In this pilot episode, we’re introducing ourselves, sharing what this podcast is all about, and answering fun questions from our community. Our main topic today? Shoulder Pals — the quirky little companions that have been popping up everywhere lately. We chat about why they’ve captured so much attention, how many we have in our own house, and our favourites! This is just the beginning! Future episodes will feature your reviews, questions, and plenty more conversations and banter about life, trips, and the little things that make us smile. Thanks for joining us at the start — we can’t wait to see where this new adventure takes us. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review if you enjoy the episode!

Welcome back to Happily Chat! Join Katherine (@happilykatherine) and Tom (@happilyhusbandtom) as we talk all things packing! With our next trip to Disneyland Paris just around the corner, we thought we’d tell you our must have items and how the packing is going (Spoiler alert - Tom is not involved!) We’re also chatting about our recent trip to a pumpkin farm, getting that all-important pumpkin shot and nearly being rained off by a surprise return to classic English weather. Thank you for your input in this episode, we love hearing from you - and your must pack items were very useful! Keep an eye on my insta stories for more opportunities to interact with the podcast. Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts over on Instagram @happilykatherine. We’ll be back soon, possibly a slight delay in the next episode due to the trip!

Welcome back to Happily Chat! We’re Katherine (@happilykatherine) and Tom (@happilyhusbandtom), and today we’re talking all things Halloween in Disneyland Paris! Halloween season is upon us, so we’re taking you with us as we imagine our ideal Halloween day in the parks, from the food we’ll eat to the rides we’ll go on and the entertainment we’ll watch. We also catch you up on what we’ve been up to this week, including Katherine’s visit to a new villainous afternoon tea in London, Once Upon a Villain. As always, there are lots of giggles, banter and snacks along the way! Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to leave a review or send us your thoughts over on Instagram @happilykatherine.

Welcome back to Happily Chat! We’re Katherine (@happilykatherine) and Tom (@happilyhusbandtom), and today we have a special countdown episode! We asked you for your suggestions for a countdown you’d like to hear, and there were so many that we chose two! First, we’re counting down the Top 5 DisneyBounds Katherine has worn, which she loved creating and wearing. And Tom isn’t left out, as he has a Top 5 too, and some strong opinions! Then, taking it to Disneyland Paris specifically, we’re counting down our Top 5 Quick Service restaurants. We both have opinions here too, and there’s more variety than you might think. Katherine had some strong words with Tom over his number one! We’re also answering some of your questions, including our favourite and least favourite rides. Thanks so much for listening. We hope you enjoyed this episode that you inspired! Don’t forget to leave a review or send me your thoughts over on Instagram @happilykatherine, and we’ll be back with another episode next week!

We also get into shoulder pals in general, including some of my favourites and my first ever shoulder pal. Plus, we chat about my recent visit to Disney Wonders and Casa Giulia in Disney Village with InsidEars, and what I got to see while I was there. Thanks so much for listening.
