New Beginnings and Fantastic Adventures

I honestly can’t believe that my baby girl will be starting school next month. Here’s to new beginnings and lots of fantastic adventures.

We are Turtle Tots Ambassadors!

It is official! I can finally tell everyone that we are Turtle Tots Ambassadors! I have been dying to tell you all for weeks but I had to wait (along with 5 other bloggers from around the country) until the official announcement was made at the beginning of May.

20 Random Facts

I was nominated on instagram ages ago to do a “20 random facts” post. It was actually quite fun thinking them up, so I thought I’d share them here too. Here they are: I met my husband when I was 18. I have now been with him more than half of my life. I love …

Why I love our turtle tots classes

So many reasons to love Turtle Tots. One of my favourite things to do with both my babies.

5 things I’m most grateful for

The beginning of a New Year always makes me think about my life; where I am, where I am going and my plans for the future. It’s at times like this, thinking about the past year, where I feel incredibly grateful. Grateful about lots of things that have happened in my life and the people …

40 before 40

I thought I would write a (big) list that I can attempt to check off over the next 4 years, before I turn the big Four Zero…

Highs and Lows of 2017

I find it quite cathartic, looking back and reflecting on a whole year. I tend to forget lots of things that happen which can sometimes skew my view, and I think looking back really helps to put things in perspective. So here is my 2017!

St Enoch Centre Shopping Trip

I was asked to take part in a blogger challenge to find Christmas outfits for the kids from the shops in the St Enoch Centre. So baby boy and I took a wee shopping trip…

A Huge Shout Out to Briarlands Farm

I’d like to give a MASSIVE shout out to the truly lovely staff at Briarlands Farm in Stirlingshire. I haven’t ever written about the place before as this was our first visit. I will do when I get the chance.

Bread Meats Bread

We’ve only ever been to Bread Meats Breads as a couple before; on those nights we’re out without children, living it up in the city… But I was having a look at the new Bread Meats Bread on Great Western Road and noticed that they have booths, much more space than the restaurant in town, …

Our Favourite Playparks in Glasgow

The little lady loves a good playpark. I’m a fan too – outdoors, free, energy burning – perfect activity! So I thought I’d share our favourite playparks in Glasgow (or pretty nearby).

Family photo shoot with Mei Photography

We got a beautiful outdoor family photo shoot done by Jo from Mei Photography last year before baby boy came along. Here is a little look at the pics.

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.

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 …
