The #DayOutForAll Campaign – Alnwick Gardens*
Being a single mother (wow I say that a lot) means I spend a lot of time with my parents and immediate family. I moved back home so I could have help while Little Miss was a baby, and I’m staying for the time being so members of my family can have her in their life. I lost both my grandfathers in short sucession and it really was a wake up call, I wanted LM to know all our family before it was too late. Of course this means we have a lot of family days out. Days out should be for all members of the family, including those with…

Finding Dory Giveaway
Last week my mum and I took Little Miss and her cousin to see Finding Dory that was released country wide on the 29th July. I have to admit, I’m not actually a fan of Finding Nemo, I watch it as little as possible (however I love the musical at Animal Kingdom and the ride at Epcot haha) and don’t really encourage LM to watch it either. But I did really enjoy Finding Dory. The supporting characters were so much more interesting this time (especially Hank the octopus!) and I still got my fill of Crush and Squirt. I felt there was a lot more adult humour that went over…

Metro Radio Arena Disney On Ice Presents Frozen October 2016
As we all know, from the UK the closest Disney park is Disneyland Paris, and although that’s still only just over an hour on the plane, it’s still a fair treck and a lot of money. However, twice a year, arenas around the UK play host to the Disney on Ice spectical! As a child we used to go once a year to bridge the gap between our Disney holidays and Little Miss has been twice already with another trip happening in October straight after our Walt Disney World holiday, so at least we have that to look forward to! In October Disney on Ice will be presenting Frozen! I…

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…

Wall Create Canvas Review & Giveaway
One of my favourite things about having a house I’m fully in charge of is deciding what I’m going to put on the walls. I have to be honest and say that 99% of what’s on my walls is either photos, Disney or travel related, some are even all three. So I do love when I’m offered the chance to review something that I can put on my walls. A few weeks back Wall Create contacted me and offered me the chance to review a 40cm x 30cm canvas of a photo of my choosing. I was over joyed as at the moment I’m collecting canvases of photos I’ve taken…
