My festive bucket list 2016

There are lots of Christmassy things I’d like to do with the little lady this year to make her first Christmas as a big sister a special one. This is my festive to do list…

1 day more…

Today has been a really weird day for me. It’s the strangest feeling knowing that this is my last day of being pregnant.

I just finished up with my lovely Yogabellies class. Not only was it was the most relaxing part of my week, but it was quite nice to be in a room full of pregnant ladies who were all having similar experiences to me.

Pregnancy update: 41 weeks

Last Saturday was due date. I spent the entire weekend, plus a few days afterwards willing baby to come out. Due date felt like reaching a huge milestone: the end of pregnancy and the beginning of a brand new chapter in the life of our family. But it wasn’t yet. This little one has kept …

Pregnancy update: 40 weeks! Due date is here.

Today is due date. Every day this past week my husband has asked me “Do you think it’s today?” And no, I still don’t. I’ve had a couple of mild Braxton Hicks here and there, but absolutely nothing to suggest that baby is on the move yet…

Gourock Outdoor Pool

We had some beautiful weather last month and tried to make the most of it. One of the little day trips we went on was to check out Gourock Outdoor Pool. Great for a lovely sunny day!

5 things I miss the most when pregnant

There aren’t very many things that I really miss when pregnant. Mostly because I realise that I’m growing a human. But there are a few.

The new playpark at Calderglen

We’ve been along to the new playpark at Calderglen Country Park a few times since it opened. It’s great for younger and older kids, and the little lady LOVES it!

Greenbank Gardens

My lovely friend wrote this review of her recent visit to Greenbank Gardens with her toddler and baby. Sounds like a great day out!

Pregnancy update: 36 weeks

I remember last time round I had nothing at all to do except bounce on a ball, watch TV, have a lie down & eat ice poles for the final month of pregnancy.

Aquanatal Classes

I’ve been going along to aquanatal at Scotstoun Leisure Centre for a few months now. I really enjoy it: I get to meet people; I don’t need to do toddler bedtime; and of course it’s a little bit of exercise.

The Toddler’s Favourite Books: Age 2

The little lady loves her bedtime stories. These are her absolute favourites – the ones we’ve been reading regularly for quite a long while!

Merry-Go-Round at The Briggait

A wee sneak peek at the gazillions of stuff heading down to the Briggait for their massive sale coming up this Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Day trip! The Edinburgh Fringe Festival

I have an admission: I have never before been through to the Edinburgh festival. I always meant to go, but just never got round to it. So even though we went to Edinburgh last weekend purely to see some kids shows it was still slightly exciting for me! Edinburgh was pretty busy (Edinburgh always feels …

Pregnancy update: 33 weeks

We’re 33 weeks pregnant (how did that happen so quickly?) and really into the home straight. The bump feels really big now and bending down is just not happening unless absolutely necessary!

Totnosh Toddler Cooking Classes

The little lady and I just finished a block of cooking classes with Totnosh in Barrhead. She loves helping in the kitchen anyway, but she had a great time trying out new foods and bossing me around as her helper. Great fun & lots of new ideas for toddler food!
