FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, INSPIRATION FOR DAYS OUT & LOTS OF FUN
FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, INSPIRATION FOR DAYS OUT & LOTS OF FUN
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 …
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 …
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…
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!
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…
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…
Today has been a really weird day for me. It’s the strangest feeling knowing that this is my last day of being pregnant.
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 …
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…
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.
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.
The little lady loves her bedtime stories. These are her absolute favourites – the ones we’ve been reading regularly for quite a long while!
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!
I’m one of those annoying people who really loves being pregnant and has had an easy time of it. These are my favourite things about being pregnant.
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!
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!
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 …
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 …
I’m trying to be a bit more organised these days. So I thought I’d try to do a weekly meal plan as part of my new found organisational skills. Here is this weeks.
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 …
