A little list of the top 5 things to do in Glasgow as a new mum. Or dad. Get out, meet people, see stuff and eat cake. You don’t even need to be in Glasgow!

New Lanark & Falls of Clyde
New Lanark is a great day out whether you want to spend it indoors or outdoors. The Annie McLeod Experience is something fun and unusual for a rainy day, and the Falls of Clyde Reserve is a lovely place for a walk.
Time to come clean…
You might have noticed things have been a bit quieter around here of late. Since Christmas actually. Well I thought it was about time to come clean…
Cafe Ceramico
Cafe Ceramico is a great place to spend a morning or an afternoon with kids. It kept a pair of toddlers occupied for a good 3 hours. Well worth the trip out to East Kilbride.
Happy Mothers Day
Happy Mothers Day to all you lovely mummies out there.
I hope you’re all having a special day with the ones you love the most in the whole world.
Since it’s world book day
If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Almost the exact post-breakfast conversation the little lady & I had last weekend.
Hamilton Water Palace
We checked out Hamilton Water Palace recently. It has an excellent splash pool for the toddlers and some slides for the bigger kids. Great fun!
Rugbytots
We heard about Rugbytots from a friend a while ago. Since the little lady is so physical I thought we’d go and try it out. And maybe it would tire her out…
Edinburgh Christmas Festival
We took a little day trip through to see the Christmas festivities in Edinburgh yesterday. Such good fun. Turns out the little lady is an adrenaline junkie! She had a wonderful time in Santaland! There are quite a few different rides: a little dragon rollercoaster, a helter skelter, reindeer ride (with bubble snow and bells to …
Toddler Trampolining at Ryze Glasgow
We’ve now been a couple of times to Ryze KidJump for some jumpy toddler trampolining fun. A friend had told us about it and I just knew that the little lady would love it; she is, as I imagine most toddlers are, a huge fan of jumping! One of our little friends came along too …
George Square at Christmas
We took advantage of the dry weather last night & got a bit Christmassy down at George Square. There is so much to see and do down there at this time of year, and it’s so beautiful all lit up! We spent a while wandering around seeing the big wheel, ice rink, huge Christmas tree & …
Bookbug Bags – Did You Get Yours?
Bookbug bags are gifted to every child in Scotland. They are completely free and full of books and bits for you to share with your child. The books we received in ours were great. They included those in the photo above, all of which are still some of the little lady’s favourites, and most of …
4 things children don’t need
This time of year can get a bit overwhelming with all the ‘to do’ lists and the ‘to buy’ lists. I saw this on a friend’s timeline today and it made me think about my lists. Sometimes it’s good just to get a bit of perspective…
A Little Christmas Treat For You!
I wanted to do something to say thank you to all of you lovely folks for your support since I started this little blog as a Facebook page a year or so ago. I also wanted to celebrate some of the amazing small businesses and wonderful places the little lady and I have had the …

Turtle Tots Toddler Swimming
It was certificate day at our lovely Turtle Tots swimming lessons yesterday. We’re big level 4 badgers now!
I’m going to do a wee updated review soon about what we’ve learned & what all the littles can do at this stage. But they are all coming along so well – it’s amazing to see how at home they are in the water!
The Enchanted Forest, Pitlochry
The Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry is about 2 hours away from Glasgow and not normally within my circumference of review writing. However it’s an annual event and it’s hugely popular (and completely sold out for this year) and we enjoyed it so much that I thought I’d do a wee bit on our trip there …
Toddler Train Travel Tips
I was feeling a bit nervous about our first long journey along with a tiny, noisy, fast moving human who has no sense of boundaries whatsoever. But honestly it went surprisingly well: we didn’t lose any of the (masses of) luggage we took with us, we didn’t lose a toddler, we had a nap on …
Bounce & Rhyme & Lunch
We went back to our old Monday haunt in the Mitchell Library this morning: Bounce & Rhyme. Great little group & there are loads all over Glasgow. (See here for a post I did a while ago about Bounce & Rhyme.) We had lunch in the Mitchell Cafe afterwards – they do yummy soups, sandwiches, …
