FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, INSPIRATION FOR DAYS OUT & LOTS OF FUN
FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, INSPIRATION FOR DAYS OUT & LOTS OF FUN
The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is on just now in Scotland Street School Museum. I always go to see it, but this year thought we’d combine it with a trip for the toddler to have a wander round the museum too. The Museum As I mentioned I went because I wanted to see the …
As someone who has a young toddler who doesn’t give a tiny toss where her adult is most of the time, I think that having a Child Safe Zone for Glasgow City Centre is probably a good idea. Not that I plan on losing her any time soon.
Tinky is our rescue cat of 10 years, possibly Turkish Van, at least 14 years old, boss of every dog she ever met (and that’s a lot), arch-nemesis of the hoover, and fan of tuna and lazing in sunny spots, or snoozing on the warm tiles in the bathroom. She doesn’t love new things, and …
Thought this was a really cool infographic that illustrates the main thing you need to know about each age until your kid is 5.
“Don’t underestimate me” accompanied by That Look (you know the one) is pretty much the little lady’s tag line right now. And I remember the “I’m not a little baby” phase all too well. “Nurture me” feels like it happened forever ago though. Sigh.
There’s so much to do at Heads of Ayr Farm Park. There are play areas galore, trampolines, animals to feed, soft play. Great day out. Here’s our review!
We’d heard good things about Lollipop Land soft play in East Kilbride so we thought we’d check it out. It’s located in PlaySport, the same leisure precinct as Air Space, but once you’ve turned off the main road it’s really unclear where you’re supposed to go. There are no signs for it anywhere until you …
This made me laugh. Because this is exactly what getting a 2 year old to bed is like! 🙂
Sop alert: This time 2 years ago I was in the labour ward, probably at about 7cms, and the little lady had decided she was staying in there. How time has flown! My tiny baby is now a little girl. I have a wonderfully funny, hilariously clumsy, singularly independent (but sometimes not), adventurous, inquisitive, shy …
I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. When I was trying to find the photos it almost came out like an ode to my 6-months-ago-18-month-old but I stopped myself…! You know those outfits that your kid wears at least twice a week; straight out of the machine and back on the the kid again (with …
There’s plenty green space to run or have a picnic in and little animal lovers will enjoy the children’s zoo. The walks down by the river are lovely too.
I love languages. I’ve always wanted to really learn a language other than English, but I’ve always had an excuse not to: too busy with studying, 20’s nonsense, working, travelling, a wedding here, a honeymoon there, a baby… I have dabbled in languages before. I did French & German in school, Spanish for a little …
We were out with family last week for a little celebration dinner. It wasn’t really in aid of anything, but who needs a reason to celebrate? We were meeting in town, and decided to wander along to George Square, to Browns. We’ve been to Browns a few times with the little lady, including once when …
Like pretty much every other toddler on the planet, the little lady absolutely loves to climb. Everything. She’s a maniac. And she clearly has no understanding (not even a tiny inkling) of what it might feel like to fall off that fence or that table or that window ledge. I should probably stop her from climbing everything, but …
We met some baby buddies at Eastwood Pool recently. I’d heard rave reviews about it from some other mummy friends, so we had to check it out! The Pool There are two parts to the pool area. There’s the main swimming pool with lanes for doing some real swimming or lessons, and a larger unlaned …
We braved the Scottish summer and went to Palacerigg Country Park. Nice little childrens farm and good swing park. Nice walk for dogs. Great little day out.
Truth.
I love Sundays. This is pretty much what’s happening in my house today.
