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…

Appleyard London Harmony Bouquet Review
With my eternal singledom continuing it’s very rare that I have a beautiful bouquet of flowers in my house, despite completely adoring them. Occassionally I’ll buy a small bunch for a couple of pound at the supermarket to cheer myself up on a bad day, but there is truly nothing better than a big bunch you didn’t buy yourself landing on your doorstep. That’s what happened to me last week as I was offered the chance to review a signature bunch by the flower delivery company, Appleyard London. How exciting! The bunch I received is called Harmony* RRP £46, a beautiful bouquet made up of white freesia, memory lane lilac…

Travel Bucket List – 21/10/2015*
As of the 1st November, Cocktails in Teacups will be changing to a Disney Life, Parenting and Travel blog to reflect how my life has evolved. Now that my blog is three years old, I’ve changed and my life has changed so I wanted to focus on niche’s that I want to write about. No more beauty, only fashion related to Disney or child fashion, perhaps some cookery … but I’m not promising. Occasionally some content of a different sort may pop up, just to give you a heads up. In honour of the shift in emphasis on travel, today I’m sharing with you my current travel bucket list. It’s…

Cosplay for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2015*
One of the highlights of our most recent trip to Walt Disney World was that for the first time ever I got to experience Halloween at Disney, including one of the famous Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Parties. In case you’re unaware, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (or MNSSHP) is a hard ticket event over the Halloween period at Magic Kingdom. Hard ticketed means you need to buy an additional ticket to your park pass, but believe m when I say it’s worth every penny! I was so incredibly excited about it, having already watched the parade “Boo to You” 100 times before flying out but I had managed…

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…
