Wonder, Holiday Preparations and Fish n’ Chip Nights #LittleLoves
We’re edging ever-closer to the school holidays here in the North of Scotland, and it’s been a busy old week of finishing off blog articles, doing end-of-month admin for my husband’s business, helping out at class trips and bag packing for the Parent Council at my kids’ school.

A Writing Milestone, Mad Men and Autumn Faffing #LittleLoves
Welcome to this week’s edition of #LittleLoves where things seem to have taken a decidedly Autumnal turn!

Reading, Watching Listening to Lately – August 2017
Summer may be coming to an end here in the Scottish Highlands, but earlier sunsets and dark evenings do have a few upsides, and the excuse to curl up with a book, movie or a box set have to be pretty much at the top of my Autumn-ready list. I’ve had a fantastic run of books and entertainment over…

Making Birthdays Easy with Dom and Geri
Like most people these days my life can get a little busy, and when I’m running around taking the kids to school, making sure homework is done and getting the dog out for his daily exercise it can be easy to forget that birthday (or two) coming up on the horizon. Coming from decent-sized families my husband and I are lucky…
