Last time I did things to do with kids in Wales, this time I’m back up the other end with things to do with kids in Scotland.
If you need accommodation in Scotland take a look at cottages in Scotland.

1. Glasgow Science Centre
A great day out especially if you have children of different ages as there’s something for everyone.
2. National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
Newly refurbished, the National Museum is well worth a visit. It’s situated just off the Royal Mile close to Edinburgh Castle. Make a day …

The Guru has been a favourite of ours for over 10 years. The restaurant itself isn’t anything to shout about but the food, oh the food.. well that’s delicious and great value too.
The last time I went with my mum. We’d been to see the new version of Wuthering Heights which was quite frankly hell, how we managed to last for whole 45 mins I’ll never know. After creeping out part way through we needed something good to cheer us up and The Guru is always a …

A new year and so begins a new challenge. Over the Christmas I decided to begin on No.45 on my 100 Things list. The challenge specifically is to be able to play the six songs below, from memory, using both hands.
Moonlight Sonata – Beethoven
Songbird – Fleetwood Mac
Song for Whoever – The Beautiful South
Always on My Mind – Elvis Presley
A Whiter Shade of Pale – David Lanz version
Let it Be – The Beatles
..and so it all started with me buying my keyboard off Amazon. The whole set up …

I wrote this post for English Mum, but the first weeks in January are always a bit dull so a good time to remind myself what a fab time we had
I’ve been eating my way around Boston and I thought I’d share my highlights with you. The trip was a two-legged trip, first few days were spent in Boston and the last two in New York. The food in America is pretty good depending on what you like, we went for standard American fare during this …

We were invited to review the brand new IMAX screen in Edinburgh. Unfortunately I was unable to go so my brother and sister in law stepped in, over to them..

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the size and shape of the screen – it’s noticeably bigger, with a slight concave curve to it. As soon the trailers started, I was pretty much sold on the technology. The screen quality is markedly better in comparison to a regular cinema screen. If you’ve ever upgraded your CRT …

It’s that time of year again. Time to look back on my year and be grateful for everything good that has happened.
January: So nothing much happened in January, does it ever? I’ve searched and searched for a photo and all I could find is this picture of a chicken pie. The thing I’m grateful for then is to have the ability to provide food for my family, because not all mums are in that position and it’s easy to forget that we’re hugely fortunate.

February: My little girl …

Christmas is such a hectic time that it can be hard to find time to look after you. What with all the present buying, wrapping and food preparation, our needs as a mum are always last on the list. So here is a guide to help you look amazing on Christmas day and still have time for everything else.
Before the big day arrives there are some tips you can do to ensure you and your skin are in tip top condition. During the winter months the central …

I’m a bit behind on the whole Christmas prep thing. I did a ton of shopping in Boston and NYC and then got a bit complacent I think.
Christmas shopping is mostly done and all the *cough* santa business has been taken care of. Erin gets to choose three things each year, this year she went for Little Mommy doll (the irony wasn’t lost on us!), Lite Sprite and cool cardz design studio.

Christmas day outfit has been supplied by Mash Jr. She’ll be in blue jeans with diamonte …

Christmas is an expensive time of year and especially so for many this Christmas. Therefore I thought I would share with you some of my frugal ideas to still make the festive period as magical as it should be without breaking the bank!
There are lots of ways of saving money and making things for Christmas and along with being frugal, it will give you some fun activities you can do with your children which will create great memories for them to look back on in years to come.
Cards and Wrapping …

Everyone is feeling the recession this year and we will no doubt all spend too much over the festive period. So if like me you are dreading the new year and having no money here are some ways to make the money you do have go that little bit further.

Watch what you buy when you are shopping. Did you know that most food is free from VAT but some of the more common groceries we buy such as confectionary, snacks and drink aren’t? Which foods qualify for VAT can be …

You have no doubt seen this on TV, especially as it had its premier airing during the first round of the live XFactor Finals. The New Muller “Wunderful Stuff” adverts bring back all of our favorite childhood characters to share with us the essence of the Muller brand, the enjoyment and fun of a great tasting product.

Included in the characters bringing this advert to life are my favourite’s Muttley and Yogi Bear, along with KITT (Knightrider’s talking car) and the Mr Men. It certainly is a ‘sit up and take …

It was that exciting time of the year again – time to clear out the kitchen cupboards. I always end up finding three jars of something I don’t need and then I have to go searching for recipes to use up said ingredients, last year it was cumin..this year it was cocoa.

I found a recipe for Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes. I enolled Erin’s help, I’m pretty proficient in the cooking department but baking is a different story.
Erin took control of the actual ingredients, I just collected what we …
