Something for a Sunday… Sorry dads – I don’t think any of you are actually like this, but it made me laugh a teeny tiny bit.
26 incredibly meaningful gifts you can give your kids
Ok ok. So most of these are gifts for when your kids are much older. But I’m starting to feel a bit Christmassy. And they are such lovely ideas. (And some you’d have to start making now to gift in 18 years!)

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 …
How To Really Love A Child
I love this. It’s exactly the type of parent that I want to be. I’m so glad I found it! I think I need to get it printed out or something…
10 Things Your Mum Never Told You
This is beautiful. I just read it and cried. A lot. From beginning to end. All true!
A Cake & a Cuppa in Penny Black Glasgow – CLOSED
We took a trip with some mummy & baby friends to Penny Black Glasgow this morning – the new cafe/post office/card shop on Great Western Rd. The Verdict Good tea, delish cake, friendly staff, amazing cards… Lovely place! Highly recommended.
Kids Are Just Tiny Drunk Adults
I’m sure I came across this a while ago, but it seems so much funnier now that I live with a toddler!
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 …
Great toddler food ideas
I’ve been a bit uninspired with meals and snacks recently. Then remembered this gem of a website that a lovely mummy friend told me about. Great food ideas for the whole family!
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 …
A Very First Birthday
Our little lady is 1 year old! Her very first birthday. I feel like I have to keep saying that out loud, and eventually it will sink in, because I really can’t believe it. At all. This year has been the quickest, most exciting, tiring, fun, educational, grubby, sociable and amazing year. It feels like yesterday that …
Benefits of Baby Signing
Baby sign has proved pretty useful for us. First when the little lady wanted milk, and now if she’s thirsty, hungry or sees a birdie…
Check out TinyTalk Glasgow North for some classes. Denise is great & we’ve met some lovely mummies there.
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 …
Our New Baby Carrier Arrived!
Woo hoo! Our new carrier finally arrived! Now we can go to the park without us both roasting alive in a wrap! We’ve been using our Boba wrap since the little lady was born. She slept in it loads and got cuddles in it a lot. It meant I could do some hoovering, walk the dogs, …
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 …
