For Fathers’ Day this year we went for a family trip to the Butterfly Farm in Edinburgh. I’d heard from friends that it’s a great day out and I wasn’t disappointed. We were all mesmerised as soon as we entered. In the tropical room there were hundreds of butterflies to look at. [...]
I started planning LoveBaby LoveTravel on our trip to Europe during summer 2010 and one of my plans was to include accommodation reviews of all the places we stayed. 7 months later I’m finally getting around to it! My first review is of Bella Baita in the Italian Alps because it was undoubtably the friendliest place [...]
My baby boy turns one this week and inevitably I’m thinking a lot about this wonderful, life changing year. Those first hours and days were both amazing and overwhelming. One of the first hurdles to overcome as a parent was the task of getting my baby home from the hospital, and today I’m dreaming of [...]
Although Euan isn’t quite one yet, he has already been a guest at four weddings. His first was my cousin’s when he was just 6 weeks old; he then travelled 2000 miles to attend a wedding in Switzerland; we arrived home in Scotland one week before my sister got married and then mid December we [...]
It is properly snowing here in Edinburgh and I’m dreaming of roaring log fires in Ardnamurchan. My husband has recently starting experimenting with timelapse on his camera so today I’m posting a video rather than a still.

We stayed in a beautifully converted church with views over the islands of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Skye. Getting There Glencoe Ardnamurchan is about a 5 hour drive from Edinburgh. We stopped twice so [...]
Later this week my husband is taking Euan and I away for a family holiday. Destination: unknown (by me anyway, thankfully Arran knows where he’s taking us!) This Monday I’m dreaming of where the surprise location might be. I know it’s within driving distance so my guess is we’re staying in Scotland. I think it’ll [...]
This Monday I’m dreaming of the first family holiday we took after the birth of my son. Euan was 6 weeks old and we travelled to Perthshire in the north of Scotland for my mum’s 60th birthday. The journey there involved breastfeeding and nappy changing in the car whilst parked at the side of the [...]
This Monday I’m dreaming of the sunsets my husband and I saw in Thailand when we lived there for 6 months in 2004. As usual, the photos were taken by my husband To read about other bloggers’ dreams this Monday head over to motherofalltrips
