A brand new mummy friend asked me the other day about feeding rooms in shopping centres. I used them for the first little while I was out & about (until I realised that people don’t really care that you’re breastfeeding) so I thought I’d write about those I used: the good, the bad and the …

Tall Tales at the Tron
This morning we went on a bear hunt. (We tried out Tall Tales at the Tron Theatre: an interactive storytelling session for kids who are walking to age 3). What good fun! My little lady loved it; especially the part where they were squelching through mud (aka strawberry jelly). I can’t remember her name, but …
The Riverside Museum
We took a little trip to the Riverside Museum at the weekend. It was an attempt to simultaneously get out of the house, and not be outside in the freezing cold. (We’re not big enough for snowman building yet, and although picking up tiny bits of snow and holding them for a while is fun, it results very quickly in tiny cold hands!)
Anyway, it’s big and echoey and not quiet at all. There are lots of trams & buses to climb on, a couple of little kiddie toys to play in, and two very large horses that are seemingly great to point at/yell excitedly at/run towards & away from.
As with all Glasgow museums it’s free, and the cafe upstairs isn’t bad too.
The Verdict
Great place to let a toddler run around for an hour or two, especially when it’s slippery, snowy, crazy windy or freezing outside!
Side note
You don’t actually get to look at anything with a toddler running around!
Toddler Sense in Knightswood
So we tried out Toddler Sense Knightswood yesterday. We used to go to Baby Sensory regularly, and my little lady loved it. But then I went back to work, she went to nursery and we haven’t had the chance to even check out a Toddler Sense class until now! But anyway, the review… The Class …
Birthday Dinner in Darcy’s
We had a meal out at Darcy’s Glasgow this evening to celebrate my birthday. (33! I can’t believe it – I genuinely still think of myself as a 20 year old). Anyway, Darcy’s is a great place to dine with kids. The staff are super friendly, the grub is lovely and they have a good …
The Irn Bru Carnival with a 1 year old
We had great fun at the Irn Bru Carnival, but I think the little lady was still a bit young for it as there weren’t many rides she could go on. Next year though!
Adventure Planet
We met up with some family in Adventure Planet soft play this morning, in Cumbernauld. (Soft play is a surprisingly good way to do Christmas visits when you’ve all got kids!) The play area The toddler area is a nice mini version of a big soft play, with some soft see-saws & a wee ball pool. …
30 Things to do Before You’re 3
Some nice ideas on here for rainy days, sunny days, busy days, lazy days… Especially if you’re bored with the same book or toy or song!
Zoo Tots
We’ve been going to zoo tots for a few weeks now, and it’s one of the little lady’s favourite classes we’ve been too. It’s totally different from any of the other classes, mainly because there are various live animals there to pet or feed or look at. The Class The class structure is pretty much …
A Meal At The Loft
We went out for some food today in The Loft. I’ve never eaten there before; only drank there, quite a bit actually… But anyway, I was so pleasantly surprised. I can’t believe I didn’t know just how child friendly The Loft is. There are toys for kids to play with, a balloon man who made us an extra …
Jayz Bar Kids Morning
We went along to a great wee baby/toddler morning in Jayz Bar in Shawlands this morning. It’s busy, boisterous & very noisy; there’s music, singing, lots of toys to play with and stories for the little ones. Plus some toast at the end. My little lady LOVED it! It’s on in Jayz Bar, Shawlands from …
Mini-review: Sea Life Centre, Loch Lomond
We took a wee trip to the Sea Life Centre at Loch Lomond Shores last weekend. It’s the first animal based attraction we’ve ever been to with her and she just adored it. It was a great place to let our toddler run free for a few hours. EVERYTHING was exciting. She absolutely loved running around …
Almond Valley Heritage Centre
For her very 1st birthday, we took the little lady to Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston at the weekend. We’ve never taken her to any children’s farms or ‘bigger’ visitor attractions before (I’m not counting Tollcross Park Children’s Farm) so it was quite exciting for all of us! The Farm The farm is excellent. There are …
Buggyfit, 11 months post birth…
After months of trying, the stars aligned & we finally made it to our first Buggyfit Glasgow West class this morning in Victoria Park. It was a pretty nice day for once, if a bit breezy. Perfect for my first workout in a long time. The class itself was great. We did some running, and quite a …
Grosvenor Baby Cinema
We went along to, what I think is going to be our last, Baby Cinema this morning in the Grosvenor Cinema on Ashton Lane. We’ve had a good run (we’ve seen Hunger Games, Godzilla, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity and The Wolf of Wall Street amongst other) but we’re getting too old for it now since …
Breastfeeding support in Glasgow
I’m a breastfeeder. Or I am with my little lady. (Who knows what’ll happen if I eventually have another kid.) As I’ve written about before, it was difficult at the beginning. And I didn’t know what I was doing. But after the first few weeks it had all worked out and we were doing well. …
A good wee haul…
We ventured south today to check out Kinder Handl in Mount Florida.
Great wee shop with very friendly & helpful staff (who very kindly played with the little lady whilst I had a look around…)
And not a bad haul for a fleeting visit and £10!
Baby Sensory
It’s the little lady’s favourite today: Baby Sensory. And it’s French week! (Pity her head is too gigantic for that little red beret her auntie brought back from France…) Each week has a different theme. We’ve had messy week, pirate week, cowboy week and under the sea week plus loads more. The class is in 3 parts. …
Garscube Community Playrooms
What a fantastic facility! We tried the Playrooms out for the first time yesterday and my little lady LOVED it. There are 3 rooms: the first has lots of tables for lunching, drawing, playing with dinosaurs amongst oh so many other things; the second contains lots of ride-on cars, dollies, buggies, a play house, building …
Bounce & Rhyme
We’ve been going to Bounce & Rhyme in the Mitchell Library for the past month or so. It’s exactly what it sounds like it’s going to be: a group of parents & babies/toddlers/pre-schoolers sitting singing songs and nursery rhymes whilst the babies get bounced on your knee and the toddlers attempt to escape from the kids …
