A Babymoon to Northern Ireland
My husband and I went on a wee babymoon to Northern Ireland; our first weekend away together, just the two of us, since the little lady was born 3 years ago!
5 things I want to achieve before baby pops out
There a few things I’d love to get finished (or started) before baby arrives. I doubt I’ll get them all done, but if I write them down it might happen!
Pregnancy update: 28 weeks
I’m 28 weeks pregnant. I can’t believe how quickly this pregnancy is going. I feel like time has sped up since before our little lady was born almost 3 years ago. As with my last pregnancy, I’ve been so lucky and everything has been going well. I feel great. I wish my hair had become beautifully …
Looking to the future
Yesterday was a dark, tumultuous day. I didn’t really know what to say about the EU referendum result so I said nothing. Even today I feel like most of my thoughts aren’t particularly coherent. But I don’t think, like many are suggesting, that the leave voters were all racists & xenophobes. Yes, some of them …
Family Ferry Trip
We took our first family ferry trip as part of our road trip over to Holland. They have a fantastic kids club & the little lady had a great time exploring every part of the ship she could. The food was great too. Highly recommended ferry travel!

5 UK trips I want to take in the next year
Chester Zoo I used to work in Chester Zoo and I have incredibly fond memories of my time there. So it is pretty special to me. I absolutely love the place. I worked in most of the different animal departments and met lots of wonderful characters; human and non-human! And quite a few of the …
The Birth of a Little Lady
My ceasarian section birth story. It wasn’t what I’d planned. It was an emergency section. But it got the little lady into the world safe and healthy.
Quesadilla Shapes
These quesadilla shapes are a fun way to get kids helping out in the kitchen. We’ve made them a few times now and the little lady has a great time grating cheese, putting them together and cutting out her shapes once they’re cooked.
What’s in my bag?
I’m joining in the ‘Blog Every Day in May’ challenge in an attempt to get some inspiration and out of the little writers slump I’ve found myself in. This is day 4 (but day 1 for me since I only just found it!)

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…
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 …
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 …

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 …
