2016 New Year Resolutions & Goals
Day two of 2016 and it’s time to really tackle those New Years resolutions and goals. I’m covering both because a resolution is technically something you resolve to change for the better or an act of self improvement such as stopping biting nails or giving up alcohol. And yes, I do have a few of those. But I have more goals for this year, things I want to achieve and I want to make a point of sharing those too, plus the goals are things that seem to feel less of a chore! Starting with my resolutions; Loose Weight & Eat More Healthy I’m reaching that point where I’m really…

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…

12 Months of Little Miss
And thus my round up posts begin. Today I’m starting with a picture from each of the past 12 months of Little Miss. I would say this is the year she transitioned fully from a baby to a little girl. She started to learn to write her own name, she became fully toilet trained even on holiday, her speech and understanding of the world came on leaps and bounds. She started to develope a real personality with her own likes and dislikes. She got her first crush, she made some real friends and she fell completely in love with Disney World. I won’t lie, putting together these little picture collages…

Fun Things To Do With Younger Children*
There are a lot of things that I have learnt since becoming a mother. There are two things that stand out to me, though. One is patience and knowing that one little person is completely dependent on me. It can be quite an overwhelming thought when I say it like that! The other thing that stands out to me is that time flies. It zooms by and I can hardly believe it. It doesn’t feel like long ago that I was pregnant, buying all sorts from the baby store and then bringing home my new baby. For a little bit of a sentimental post, I just thought I would share…

Christmas Day 2015
I’m sitting her still in shock that Christmas has been and gone for another year! All that planning and pre goes into one day, in what my mum claims to be the fastest day of the year, and I completely agree. I’d say I’m still recovering! My lounge looks like the Disney Store threw up in it but Little Miss is happily playing with her Doc Mobile Clinic and her Merida Bow & Arrows set as I write this. And hey, it’s only a month until I get to do it all again when she has her birthday! Because I’m not ready to give up on all things Christmas just…

Christmas Eve 2015
So I did it! I celebrated Blogmas 2015 with 24 Christmas related posts! Today is Christmas Eve and for me it’s one of the busiest days of the year. We’ve had cookies to bake, cleaning to do, then we spend the afternoon at my parent’s where I wrapped all my dad’s gifts and my sister’s gifts because like father like daughter they had left everything to Christmas eve. We also had our traditional Christmas disco and Chinease feast, something we started since the kids came along. I’ve also baked two cakes for dessert. Lets not forget the fact we also have all Little Miss Christmas eve traditions.. we had her…
