My name is Amy Marie, I’m thirtysomething & I live in the north of England. I’m a single mother with a ten year old daughter (please, no judgement) I refer to her mainly as Little Miss or LM on my blog. This isn’t a parenting blog though, though she does often feature in most lifetime posts.

I started this blog as a way of keeping a hold of a self prior to having a baby, hence the name Cocktails in Teacups, cocktails and partying were my old life, tea drinking and evenings in is my new. I blog almost daily about an eclectic mixture of things including recipes, fashion, beauty, book reviews and my day to day life

My life isn’t high flying by no means, being a single mother is difficult. I can’t really afford any clothes more high end than ASOS or keep up with all the new beauty releases. I’m not complaining, it is the most rewarding job ever but I can’t promise you that my entries are filled with wonder and adventure (unless I’m talking about one of my favourite subjects, Disney or Fairytales). But I do write as honestly as I can, sharing things that I know best in hope that they can be of use (or enjoyment) to my followers.

Aside from my blog, I enjoy reading, cooking & baking, traveling be it by train, plane or simply on foot. I love Disney, actually Disney is a way of life and I talk about Disney related things a lot on the blog. My newest hobby is cosplay, in particular Disney cosplay. I also like perusing magazines, reading blogs and social media. And shopping, well lots of window shopping. I’m a bit of a geek and I love Pokemon but I also love New Girl, Game of Thrones and especially Once Upon a Time. I prefer cold coffee to hot, and I like cheese on everything.


I love my little space on the internet and I thoroughly enjoy blogging. I feel so proud of how far I’ve come since starting in September 2012! I have made wonderful friends through my blog. I hope it continues to grow and become more established as the year progresses. I hope you stick around and have a little read! x
