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…

What Little Miss Wore to her Christmas Party
Today was Little Miss’ Christmas party at pre-school! She’s been so excited about it the last few days especially how they’ve been practising games and singing Christmas songs. As I mentioned in Blogmas Day 5, she’s really into Christmas this year. Yesterday she came home from pre-school with a folder with her handmade Christmas card in, a calendar, a tree decoration and a present from Santa Claus which was sweet. Then today of course she had her party which meant being there nearly the whole day as she attends a morning session and the party was held in the afternoon! She seems to have enjoyed herself and I just want…

Happy 3rd Birthday Cocktails in Teacups!
Today is my 3rd blog-versary, or blogging birthday, whichever one you prefer. Three years ago today I sat down and started this blog. I can’t believe I have kept at it for so long to be honest. It’s gone from a creative outlet when I felt alone and isolated after my break up to being my lively hood which was something I never expected for a second! I have had some fantastic chances to write for some big names because of it, and it by being a self employed freelance writer I’m able to be flexible when it comes to my daughter, which was something I wanted more than anything.…
