Adventure Planet
We met up with some family in Adventure Planet soft play this morning, in Cumbernauld. (Soft play is a surprisingly good way to do Christmas visits when you’ve all got kids!) The play area The toddler area is a nice mini version of a big soft play, with some soft see-saws & a wee ball pool. …
Breakfast at The Butterfly and Pig
We breakfasted at The butterfly and The Pig this morning (after a bit of ‘late night’…) It’s not the most baby friendly place ever – it was bit of a squeeze to get a (gigantic – not ikea) highchair in at our table, and it was really quiet (my child is rather noisy, so I …

Zoo Tots
We’ve been going to zoo tots for a few weeks now, and it’s one of the little lady’s favourite classes we’ve been too. It’s totally different from any of the other classes, mainly because there are various live animals there to pet or feed or look at. The Class The class structure is pretty much …
Waverley Tearooms – CLOSED
We spent this afternoon at the Waverley Tearooms in Shawlands with some lovely mummies & babies. It is a great place to go with kids. The grub is nice, they have a decent kids menu & a little soft play area for a post-meal steam-let-off. They also have little baskets in the toilet in case you …
Our First Cycle!
Cycling. It’s a free activity. Once you’ve bought a bike, a bike seat, a lock for your bike, a helmet… We had our first solo cycle this morning (by solo I mean without daddy to help us). We only went along to our regular music class and back again; a long enough journey to make …

A Meal At The Loft
We went out for some food today in The Loft. I’ve never eaten there before; only drank there, quite a bit actually… But anyway, I was so pleasantly surprised. I can’t believe I didn’t know just how child friendly The Loft is. There are toys for kids to play with, a balloon man who made us an extra …

Jayz Bar Kids Morning
We went along to a great wee baby/toddler morning in Jayz Bar in Shawlands this morning. It’s busy, boisterous & very noisy; there’s music, singing, lots of toys to play with and stories for the little ones. Plus some toast at the end. My little lady LOVED it! It’s on in Jayz Bar, Shawlands from …

I’m sure I came across this a while ago, but it seems so much funnier now that I live with a toddler!
Mini-review: Sea Life Centre, Loch Lomond
We took a wee trip to the Sea Life Centre at Loch Lomond Shores last weekend. It’s the first animal based attraction we’ve ever been to with her and she just adored it. It was a great place to let our toddler run free for a few hours. EVERYTHING was exciting. She absolutely loved running around …
Great toddler food ideas

Almond Valley Heritage Centre
For her very 1st birthday, we took the little lady to Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston at the weekend. We’ve never taken her to any children’s farms or ‘bigger’ visitor attractions before (I’m not counting Tollcross Park Children’s Farm) so it was quite exciting for all of us! The Farm The farm is excellent. There are …
