LM’s Fav Christmas Books
In our house we don’t have Christmas books & DVDs available all year around, they get packed away with the Christmas tree meaning that when I put the tree up LM is able to get them out. This stops me getting too annoyed when I have to read or watch them over and over again during the Christmas period. Every year I add a few more of each to our collection. Ever since our tree went up I’ve been reading one book/story (as some of our books have multiple stories in) a night to LM at bedtime so last night I asked her to pick her favourites and give me…

Sing Along Elsa Review*
Last week Santa Claus paid an early visit to Little Miss! Because she’d been so good this year, Santa, Mrs Claus and the elves left a little present under the tree for LM as a special extra. She was so excited to find it was the Sing Along With Elsa doll she’d recently seen on the TV! I was actually sent the doll to review and as I don’t believe in giving LM big presents for no reason, it seemed a good idea to have it come early from Santa Claus. She really has been an angel this year and I do believe in regarding good behavior, however I didn’t…

What Little Miss Read – Holiday Books*
And by holiday I mean, the season, not a trip. We have two more children’s books to review on the blog today. It’s so exciting that LM is getting this chance because she really does love books and stories. She’s at the age where she likes me to read it, and then she reads back to me. Books are a huge part of her life and I know already she’s going to be an avid reader which of course is something I’m incredibly happy with. Books and reading was a huge part of my life, and still is when I get the chance. So I obviously wanted LM to get…

Halloween 2015
As I’m sure you’re all aware, yesterday was October 31st, Halloween. But in our house it’s felt like Halloween has gone on for a long time. It was Halloween when we went to Disney World in September and we attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party. Then we went to Disneyland Paris at the beginning of October and it was also Halloween there! Because of all this Halloween activity, Little Miss has really got into it this year! As you all know she adores to dress up, so we decided to push the boat out with her costume on the day by going for one with a wig. Because of…

What Little Miss Read – New Releases
As I’m only in the process of turning this into a parenting blog, Little Miss has never really benefited much from it in the past. However, she has been lucky over the past few weeks as I’ve been sent some new release books for us to read. Which is actually amazing since every night I have to read one or two stories to her, depending on however she’s behaved throughout the day. However, mummy has a little secret.. mummy hates reading the same story over and over, I need a good few months break before I’m happy to revisit a book. This has only come into affect since May when…

Why I Take My Daughter to Disney
Cocktails in Teacups will be shortly turning into a Disney, Life, Parenting and Travel blog and due to this, I wanted to address today one of the questions I’m most often asked, mainly on my twitter account Livvybirdadventures “Why do I take my 3 year old to Disney?” Technically, I don’t have to justify myself.. I usually just answer the messages politely and move on, but I really just wanted to share my reasons on my blog, so it’s on record. I understand fully that a holiday from the UK to Walt Disney World isn’t cheap. Trust me, I sit down monthly to ensure I save the right amount to…
