Love Mondays
I must admit, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Mondays. OK, honestly, it’s more of a love/grump relationship. I love the kids going to school (yes, yes I did just admit that), I love getting the time during school hours to myself, and I love the feeling of FREEDOM that it gives…

When your friends know you better than you do…
A friend asked me today what was wrong. Nothing? I replied. Nothing I’ve been hugely aware of anyway… Funny how our friends can sometimes see through the veneer we don’t even realise we’re putting on. I can’t really put my finger on it. Maybe it was some comments made (jokingly) about my weight at the…

A Week in the Life…
Well, it’s been a bit of an up and down week here with Max being unwell, so here comes a “week in the life” filler-update while things get back to normal (HA, normal… HAHAHAHAHA)! Monday mud mask: ahhhh bliss. Kids back to school and so I relaxed in a bath and treated myself to a…

Taking Stock
Long time readers (the 2 of you left: omg you rock! I love you!) may have gathered that there’s been a bit of a change of pace here, as well as a domain name update over the last few weeks. I think there comes a point in every mum-blogger’s life when a change in content and…

There’s nothing better than a Stationery Haul!
I was really only going to buy a new desk pad when I logged onto the Paperchase website. Honestly. I only had a couple of sheets left of my previous one, so I really genuinely did need to get a new one…. But then there was free delivery if you spent £25. And that’s a…

Kenzi the Yorkshire Terrier got the chop!
Poor Kenzi… her hair is awfully tuggy and easily matted, and the best we could do was to give her an all over shave! I’m sure she feels much more comfortable, but damn she looks comical now! If I’d known she’d end up such a skinny-malinky long-legs (it’s a Scottish thing… don’t ask!) I’d have named…

Planner Sunday
Sunday is one of my favourite days of the week. You wanna know why? It’s the day I get to look to the week ahead and plan out what I’m doing. It’s the day I choose from my rather large collection of washi tape to decorate my filofax and use pretty coloured pens. Basically, I…

Ten reasons why I’m looking forward to the kids going back to school!
As I publish this, I’ll be getting the boys ready for school. We’ll be having breakfast, doing our teeth, getting everyone dressed all smart for their first days in Primary 6 and 3 respectively. And I cannot freakin’ wait! I know I know, I shouldn’t be wishing away their childhoods, and I’m not, honestly… it’s…

How to Meditate When You’re a Single Parent
First, set your alarm super early. Like 4am early, so you’re awake before your kids. Don’t dare go to the toilet because if you do, they’ll hear it. Go to grab your phone and headphones. Realise you can’t find said headphones anywhere and start groping around your bedside table in the dark. Swear when you…

The Gallery | Where I Live
I absolutely love where we live, in a wee town in the middle of Scotland, nestled in the hills, surrounded by nature. There’s something so calming, knowing you’re only 5 minutes away from beautiful spots like this one. *happy sigh* Thank you Tara, for letting me show off the beautiful place I get to call…
