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.…

Walt Disney World April 2015, Day 10 – Magic Kingdom
Well this post is going live as we’re on our way to the airport hotel. How exciting?! I cannot believe it’s 5 & a half months since we last did this, I also can’t believe it’s taken me 5 months to get my full diary up on the blog! But here we are, the last day! On our last day we were supposed to catch the Disney Magical Express to the airport at 2:30 meaning we’d have to leave the park just after 1pm. I knew I’d feel sad missing Festival of Fantasy so our dear friend Mellie took us to the airport just after 4pm, giving us 3 whole…

My Worries as a Mother for my Daughter’s Future*
I’m a natural born worrier, it’s no wonder I suffer from anxiety and insomnia because I literally worry about every single thing. I’m also a pessimist and I’m always focusing on the worst case scenario. This has definitely gradually got worse since I became a mother. Every year as Little Miss gets older I have a new set of worries to consider and being on my own makes it feel like I have the whole weight of the world on my shoulders because I have no one to reassure me my worries are unfounded when I’m lying awake in the middle of the night. I do understand that every parent…

Keeping Your Hair Healthy this Autumn*
LINKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE Different weather elements affect your hair in different ways. In the summer if you have coloured hair it’s important to keep it covered as the sun fades it, in the winter like with your skin your hair needs extra moisturising. So of course with the seasons changing I’ve been re-evaluating what I use on my hair and I thought i’d take the opportunity to share my product choices for Autumn. At the moment, I’m still continuing to keep my hair red although it’s not as red as it once was, more of a dark red these days which helps keep…

#WeSoFancyDress Back to School Party
Let’s face it, my kid is queen of fancy dress. If she could dress up every day as a different princess, she would. I think that’s why she loves a Disney holiday so much because she CAN dress up every day. Anyway, before Florida we have to go through 2 weeks of school, which means practical play clothes every day, and a rather unhappy Little Miss, so when Asda gave us the chance to host a #WeSoFancyDress back to school party with some of their range of fancy dress costumes for kids, I jumped at the chance figuring it would keep her going until our trip. I adore Asda’s range…
