I have a major love affair with Canada. With Vancouver to be precise. Ever since spontaneously deciding to move there way back in 2010 for a few years, it has firmly implanted itself on my number one spot of favourite places I’ve ever visited. Its stunning natural beauty blew me away back then and still … Continue reading Exploring Vancouver with a 3-month-old
With a cycling obsessed five year old thanks to his experience of the UCI World Championships in Glasgow, when I was looking to get away with the two boys for a few days before school started again, Aviemore kept popping into my mind. I remember holidays to Aviemore from my own childhood and being dragged … Continue reading Cycling, steam trains and ice cream – four days in Aviemore
Every single year I say how much I want to explore the west coast of Scotland. And every year we end up not doing it for whatever reason. Usually fear of the weather and the infamous midge. But after six months of being confined to our house, two lost jobs and a very real urge … Continue reading A slice of heaven at Camusdarach Campsite, near Arisaig
I wasn’t sure whether the idea to take the Caledonian Sleeper from London Euston back home to Perth in Scotland with my 18 month old little boy was a stroke of genius or whether I’d actually lost my mind. My toddler and sleep certainly don’t go hand in hand… I’m still waiting for the time … Continue reading Riding the Caledonian Sleeper with an 18-month-old
The 5:30am wake up is worth it when you get to enjoy a daybreak 7:30am ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. It was pretty windy but the views are so amazing that we couldn’t bring ourselves to sit inside. We braved the wind to enjoy the views but with a toddler in tow there was … Continue reading A couple of days on the Sunshine Coast, BC
Flying with a baby. Usually the stuff that pops up in nightmares but since actually having a baby I’ve learnt this really isn’t always the case. Yes babies cry, but in my flying experience with Little A in the past year, I’ve discovered that adults are far more annoying than any baby, mine or otherwise, … Continue reading Flying long-haul with a 10-month-old
I love Vancouver! So returning with my wee bubba was an exciting experience, I couldn’t wait to show him the sights. It’s the best, most beautiful place to get out and walk with a pram.

Why is it that as soon as you get pregnant and have a baby it’s quite alright to talk about size and weight. Everyone has an opinion – your bump is too small, too big, too high, too low… has anyone ever said to someone your bump looks perfect? Probably not because we don’t really have any clue what it is meant to look like. It’s meant to be how it is. Perfect, for you.
London is amazing for kids. With so many parks and great places to walk, you can easily get around the city with a pram. And it’s a great way to find those hidden spots you’ve never ventured to before. After the first trip to London didn’t go too well, I’m so glad we ventured back and discovered just how awesome it can be.
