What I’d Put In A Girls Night in Gift Basket*
You know some days your friends just have a really bad day and you want to cheer them up? In the past I’ve bought Lush and sent it via the store but it just doesn’t seem personal enough. So with Galentines day on the horizon for those of us who don’t celebrate V-Day why not put together a girls night in gift night gift basket and gather at someone’s house to celebrate each other. Or better yet, split the cost of a hotel room and really go all out. Today I thought I’d share with you what I’d put into my girls night in basket. Since I never have date…

2016 Home Improvement Plans*
The start of the year is definitely a time to make some plans for the next year. I’ve already set my blogging goals and my life goals, so I thought I’d do a post about my home improvement goals over the year. Last year I managed to decorate my hall and that was about it, despite saying I was going to tackle my kitchen and my bathroom. However this year I’m going to make sure I actually do some home improvement, especially since I have a cupboard full of cans of paint.. it’s just such hard work on my own. Oh well. So anyway, here’s what I am planning on…

2016 New (Blogging) Beginnings
Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR! From my family to yours. I wish you health, wealth and happiness for the next 366 days. I’m deviating away from my usual New Year post (although it may come tomorrow) to talk about blog stuff. Today Cocktails in Teacups is being RELAUNCHED! From now on the main focus of this blog will be be on Disney, Life, Travel and Parenting.. with a few other subjects thrown in for good measure. As much as I desperately wanted to focus on fashion and beauty, I just know neither of them are a strong subject for me. The blog has always been lifestyle based, but for the first…

Disney Bloggers Secret Santa
Without sounding pathetic, I get very few Christmas presents. I don’t get a stocking and my parents buy for my daughter. I do get a few dollars and a gift off LM but thats it. I also have very few friends who buy for me. Because of this I always try and take part in a Secret Santa. For the past two years I have taken part in a Disney Bloggers Secret Santa because that’s what appeals the most to me, and I’d say I’m definitely closest to my fellow Disney Bloggers. Those girls have been a well of inspiration for my blog this past year and I’ve got to…

#ChristmasJumperDay 2015
In the UK today it’s #ChristmasJumperDay an annual tradition where you don your Christmas jumper (the uglier the better) and donate to charity. Not just any charity, but Save the Children. Every year since LM was a baby we’ve taken part but it’s only the last two years we’ve had these adorkable matching sweaters from Asda. When we purchased them a percentage of the sales went straight to Save the Children. They’re actually for men and LM’s is for a boy, but we don’t care! Today I matched ours with tartan. Mine, a tartan dress I bought years ago from ASOS and LM’s a pair of leggings from Cutie Pie…

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…
