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 …
Christmas was pretty hectic with Alex working many of the days, however we did have a couple of respite days in between Christmas and New Year and on one of our days off we took Erin along to a ballet workshop at the newly refurbished museum of Scotland. Incidently the museum looks amazing, and it’s free, so well worth a visit if you’re in town.
We headed up to the learning centre where the Scottish Ballet were running workshops for girls and boys 3-9yrs. The one we were at …
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 …

I started my blog when Erin was a few months old.
In June I’ll be celebrating my six year anniversary – that’s a lot of blogging. Highlights have been many but include a fantasic trip to Disneyworld, a trip to Seaworld, the chance to meet Santa in Lapland and many more.
In December 2010 I wrote the mum blogger eCourse which has been taken by over 1000 mums. Blogging now forms a big part of my work at ACE Inspire.
For more blogging CV’s check out the …

If you are like me, just simply seeing a Gingerbread house signifies that Christmas is here! So if you fancy making your very own Gingerbread house and even get your little ones involved too then why not watch the video below and make your own!
I always thought that it would be a really hard project to undertake with my children let alone on my own but after watching the full video, it seems to be a lot easier than I thought.
You can make the house as big …
