My Hair Through The Years
It’s hair week here at Cocktails in Teacups! This week I’ll be bringing you hair related posts, well the hair on your head anyway. I figured it was a good theme because although I am rubbish at styling my hair, despite dying it monthly, my hair is in great condition and grows like wildfire, so I must know something, right? I have some product reviews, some information posts, DIY and finally some link ups to some of my favourite hair related posts on other blogs, so hopefully there is something for everyone.. I understand not everyone reads my blog for beauty but I really just want to book end all…

#100 A Murder in Wonderland.
This is my 100th post on Cocktails in Teacups! I’ve been blogging since September now, each month I seem to find time to write more & more, or perhaps i’ve just become better at organising my time? That’s probably it since i’m not blogging this while Little Miss finally takes her nap. She’s going through a phase of thinking she doesn’t need naps during the day.. but believe me, she does. When she reaches the point where she can no longer be bothered to walk and all she wants is to be carried, she needs a blooming nap. I haven’t blogged for the last two days due to having a…

#97 Happy Easter!
Easter Basket made by my mum I hope everyone has enjoyed their extra long weekend? I know I have and for me that’s a rarity as I’m sure you are all well aware of how much I hate the weekend! For once there was peace, patience and fun under our extremely over crowded roof. No arguements, geeky chats and a lot of food, just what I was hoping for. For once my dad was on fine form, it was like the dad we grew up with, not the old grump that we have today that works too much and drinks too much because he worries too much and sleeps too…

#80 Twenty Five, My Silver Jubilee
Today is my twenty fifth birthday. If I didn’t have Little Miss I would not feel twenty five in anyway, but since I have the responsibility of being a mother, I do feel that I could be that old. Even though my mum has joked all day it’s my Silver Jubilee, I haven’t done anything special.. I didn’t get parades or a ride down the river in a boat. Nope. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t had a good day, because I have, it’s been a really nice day. I mean I would of liked to have seen one or all of my friends. I would of liked to have…

#77 The Infamous Spending Ban
So.. due to having a dreadful 2013 so far (it honestly gets worse every week) I have basically shopped and shopped until I have started to feel better.. and then I shopped some more. However my savings are now dwindling and with a new home on the horizon, I thought it was best that I started to get some money back in the bank. Therefore from today, I will be on a spending ban for the next month! I honestly wish I could just cut down my spending but i’m either an all or nothing kinda girl. It would be nice if I could just buy one thing a week…

Ode to my Mother
I wanted a witty title, or maybe a quote.. but I left writing this so late due to baking a ton of cupcakes and taking part in the twitter chats. I’ve had two busy days, the bad luck is still haunting me (missed my train yesterday and my nephew ended up getting sick so my sister couldn’t come today) but they have still had their good moments. I want to do a haul post later on this week and then I can talk about yesterday. Today I want to blog about mothers day and my amazing mum. First things first, I want to say that although I was a mother…
