Birthday Parties, On The Radio, A Giveaway Gift and On Writing – #LittleLoves
March has been a very busy month chez wellies, and with both my boys’ birthdays in the space of the last couple of weeks (bad planning, eh?) I’ve found myself using the expression ‘run ragged’ more than once or twice of late. At the weekend we had two birthday parties, one for my son’s friends…

A Scottish Bucket List for Spring
Last week, I was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland about Easter holiday planning for families, and some of our campervan adventures (get me, dropping that in so casually, as if I’m a seasoned radio-interviewee who doesn’t get excited about such things – I am not, and I was!) In the interview I spoke about our…

What Autoimmune Illness Really Feels Like
As March is Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month, I wanted to share my own experience of living with an autoimmune condition. As autoimmune conditions – an immune response which causes the body to attack itself – are by their nature often invisible, they can lead to misunderstanding, misconception, and sometimes disbelief. Many sufferers are confronted with the notion that their health complaints are somehow…

Faking Friends, Pretty in Pink, A Writing Milestone and Trying to Play the Piano #LittleLoves
Last week was a quieter week here in the WOTSR household, and after the hectic nature of the previous week we were all ready to take a little break. I spent less time writing on my blog and more on writing my book and the play I’ve been working on for my Tuesday evening writer’s group. I’m…

Birthday Celebrations, Mother’s Day, La La Land and Too Many Writing Projects #LittleLoves
It’s been a busy week here in the wellies household, and the last seven days have seen my eldest son’s birthday, postponed World Book Day celebrations, two parties and of course Mother’s Day. Add to the mix my writer’s group, the kids’ after school activities and the 101 other things all Mamas are familiar with and it’s fair…

Life Within Four Corners – February 2018
Don’t adjust your screens folks, that’s right, I’m still on February time here at Wellies on the School Run. Between writing posts on my latest Little Loves, a Sunday well spent at the beach and World Book Day last week I just didn’t get around to posting my favourite photos of the month. In future…

More Snow Days, How to Stop Time and Designated Survivor #LittleLoves
It’s been a snowy old week here in the North of Scotland, and like most of the rest of the country life here has been dominated by all things white. The kids had another two days off school last week and a schoolfriend here to keep them company. They were rather peeved to be going back to normal on Friday –…

Five Reasons to Pick Up a Book on World Book Day
With World Book Day on the horizon, what better excuse to share something bookish? There are few things that make me happier in life than devouring copious amounts of words written on a page. Put a book in front of me and I’m smiling, put me in a lovely library and I’m ecstatic, put me in a…

A Sunday Well Spent
Last Sunday we took a trip ‘up west’ to enjoy some unseasonably sunny February weather and sample some of the best beaches the North of Scotland has to offer. We are fortunate where we live to be able to reach something akin to a wilderness within a half hour or so of our front door. The…

Dear Amy, Spring Blooms and Food as Medicine – #LittleLoves
Hello and welcome back to another Little Loves round up! I had a week off blogging last week and we enjoyed a home-and-away style half term with a trip to see friends in Aberdeenshire followed by a few days chez us while Daddy went off back to work. We spent a lot of time at the swimming pool,…
